Be Prepared

Bye bye 2020. What a year!

Two decades ago, the world had to adjust to a ‘new normal’ after September 11th. We will never be allowed to walk to an airport departure hall to send off our travelling friends or family. Travellers have to go through several check points to be screened for weapons, bombs, liquid, drugs, you name it. TSA is never going away, ever!

Covid-19 has forced us all to adhere to a whole range of rules and measures. A year has passed and we are still bending and flexing to adjust to the virus, which has this scary ability to mutate into different variants.

Logic dictates that a majority of these health measures, like the annoying existence of TSA and its sorts, are here to stay. As we have learned to take off our shoes at airport security check points, not bring litres of liquid in our carry-on luggage, hold up our arms when asked to, have our faces and fingerprints taken like we are potential criminals; we will have to accept the current reality and the new normal. The sooner we adapt to frequent hand-washing, masks wearing, social distancing, working from home, the better prepared we are to work this out and win it.

A happy healthy new year 2021! May we continue to be strong and steady in facing the days ahead of us.
