When despite the isolation and difficulties and people being terribly ill and dying, there was this feeling of something good might come out of this great reset of society?

That feels very distant now.

I remember that as the first months of slimey opportunists trying to get rich by hoarding toilet paper and hand sanitizer but I think it passed. I think there are, have been and will always be assholes that try to ride the wave of fucking other people over. But they did so a major exposure of their assholeness then, definitely.

Idk, I remember being frustrated with people that didn't care or even try, but I wasn't really scared other than that my mum might catch it because people are selfish dicks.

There were a lot of positive things happening, like breweries devoting production to making hand sanitizer at zero profit because it was the right thing to do. People coming up with clever solutions to necessary interactions and stuff like that.
