A solo episode with Rachel in contemplative mood pondering the implications of the Covid19 pandemic now, soon and when this nightmare is finally over. She ponders:

Dog poo bags – a personal rant Doing Facetime with my mum and virtual Sunday lunch Appreciating those who look after us Reversing the racism that has come about from Brexit Protecting the vulnerable long term Imagining a new 'normal' Weakening the buying muscle Shifting priorities when big shit happens How acquiring stuff becomes less important Working from home now works so it should continue Getting excited about the possibilities for change We can take swift action to change the world when we need to The positive changes that have come from lockdown We've proved that we can live differently Being aware of how Covid19 will affect poor countries Seizing the opportunity to create a different world, a new 'normal'
