When despite the isolation and difficulties and people being terribly ill and dying, there was this feeling of something good might come out of this great reset of society?

That feels very distant now.

    Yep, there was a sense of people coming together in the first few weeks but it didn’t last long…

      Maybe it was different at different places, but I think here it grew stronger with time though it transformed from the celebrities singing on social media and applauding nurses to general acceptance of communal hardships and everybody pulling together to get through it. I think despite the hardships and suffering there was a communal spirit that is rare nowadays.
