2020-03-16 ------------------------------------------------------------------ I am feeling like my imagination is losing it's range. Like the possibilities of the virus are eating up the resources that would normally be available for entertaining a different reality. I can't really enjoy a movie, for example. It would require me to imagine that the reality was different. What I am imagining is two weeks from now or four or six. It's kind of absurd. What I am seeing in Italy from outside will be coming here too. And we haven't yet seen it play out in Italy. I feel conflicted in what I should think about the concept of panic. On one hand I feel strongly against what seems to me like people being given too rosy a picture of what is going on. On the other, I am not sure if I am not too pessimistic. ------------------------------------------------------------------
