When does lack of normalcy become normal? Are we numb to the effects of the pandemic over the past year?
We started to finally see some normalcy late last summer with the revival of sports coming back into play. Baseball started finally, basketball concluded it’s suspended season- same with hockey, and football started it’s season around it’s typically routine starting time. Many of us came to terms to accept that these events would be fan less and modified to what we have always come to know for the experiences of viewing these events.
