Vaccine Drama: another incredible project and another opportunity to lead the world in something.
From the perspective of the hospital, at this stage of the pandemic should be able to correlate with our current moment of political turmoil. Its tough to read accounts of people being kept alive on supplemental oxygen knowing exactly why and still not believing it. There is a threshold of pride that
I Digress and I want to focus my attention on the restaurant and its role in society. The industry had to show its resiliance in a year we seemingly could not see coming.

There was also the state of flow when things were fun and (within the bounds of safety and sanitation) you would screw around, get food perpared, and sometimes be so busy and on your feet that you skip food that day. I now sit for work and it will be the death of me.
In the same breath I am totally on the side of science when it comes to this virus. If the Governor gives us an inch, we take a mile and I can’t fully disagree with any 1 persons opinion on how we should lockdown, except if it deny’s the pandemic outright. I want restaurants.
