The reopening of Wrigleyville has been starkly juxtaposed with citywide curfews and the almost constant sound of helicopters in the background. I don’t know how I expected the COVID-19 pandemic stay at home orders to end, but it was not this. I didn’t plan on ending my functional quarantine with a protest, but sometimes history intervenes and you just have to roll with it.
2020 has been an unbelievable year, and we are only in June.
The emergency alert curfew warnings never get normal. I understand that emergency alerts are designed to get our attention, but the anxiety spike I feel over something over I already know still takes me back.
