ONE DAY AT A TIME: IT’S “GROUNDHOG DAY” FOR EVERYBODY

Here’s one way to view the current situation in which we all find ourselves: Prior to the pandemic sweeping the nation and the world, our lives were such that each day truly was a new day, filled with new challenges and the possibility of new excitement, albeit to varying degrees. Today however, with most of us locked down in our homes, our daily routines have taken on a stunning same- ness that is bereft of any sense of the usual moments of joy that form the essence of our humanity. Similar to the classic Bill Murray movie “Groundhog Day” from 1993 (wow, has it really been 27 years?), each day seems to be a repeat of the day before. The daily news in particular has a feeling of being in “Groundhog Day” mode. The headlines, politicians, and talking heads basically tell us the same thing, day after day after day, to the point where most of us now are tuning it out. And yet, unlike the movie, there is nothing humorous about the real-life Groundhog Day in which we find our- selves. The COVID-19 pandemic by far is the most tragic, far-reaching, and life-changing event that every American has faced since the end of World War II 75 years ago. The phrase, “One day at a time,” which is meant both as an inspiration and an admonition to those among us who struggle wth substance abuse and other issues, now applies to every person, in every corner of the globe, regardless of fame, wealth, power, or any other status that differentiates us from anyone else. The news that public figures as disparate as the actor Tom Hanks, Boris Johnson (the Prime Minister of En- gland), and James Dolan (the billionaire owner of the New York Knicks and Comcast) have contracted COVID-19 -- on three different continents -- makes it clear that the coro- EBNHC // CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 navirus does not discriminate and is world-wide in scope.
