On March 15th, I landed in Sydney for what I thought was a quick, 14 day business trip. Little did I know that for the next three months I'll have to perform an already tough job from the confines of a room, barely meeting any human beings, away from my family. There were days I thought I was going to lose it. I managed to basically distract myself by working nonstop. Finally back in my home country.
On the plus side, the experience made me realize that the human brain, much like modern commercial aircraft, has a lot of excess/untapped capacity that can be called upon in an emergency. I wrote this based on my experience: https://medium.com/@h_liyan/finding-time-db449c8f8c10
Overall, I think in the very long run, COVID-19 was good for the world's soul, so to speak. I think we realized some things, both as individuals and as a species.
