A s we look at time from this side of 2020, it seems that the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic was a dividing line between past and present. On the other side of the line, things were fairly good, with occasional problems that we all dealt with. But once we crossed into 2020, problems became nonstop. These weren't just any problems either; they were disasters, which followed one after another. It seemed like each month had its own disaster, to the point where people were making jokes about "disaster pools" and asking who had guessed the right disaster for that month.
The trend continued through 2020, 2021 and into 2022. At this point, nobody really knows how long it is going to continue. This could be the "new normal," totally replacing the normal that we all knew and loved. Granted, that normal had problems too; but not to the scale that this new normal does.
