Simon Ratcliffe & Turning The Tables: Episode 17: Human Stories & Recollections on COVID-19

Episode Notes

Simon Ratcliffe asks:

“What stories will we tell our children and our grandchildren about the adversity of the coronavirus pandemic?

Episode 17 of Turning the Tables started with a simple question to a group of fellow podcasters and friends for different walks of life and geographies: What have you learned through this Coronavirus pandemic lockdown?

What followed was a tapestry of human stories and observations about life, priorities, hopes, and fears:

• The discovery of a simpler life
• The importance of family and friends
• The rebasing of priorities
• The fragility of life
• Collective willpower
• Joy
• Destruction
• Nature
• Nurture
• Constraint
• Connection
• Kindness
• Chaos
• Calm
• Little things and big things

The question is, as we move forward out of this coronavirus pandemic, what path will we choose? What choices will we make, and what stories will we tell our children and our grandchildren about the adversity of the coronavirus pandemic. Will it be a story of how we fractured apart, or will it be about how we came together. Will we have learned or will we have forgotten, only time will tell, it’s in our hands.What is your story?

Listen and share your stories about what you have learned during this pandemic this episode at the Turning the Tables Community on Facebook.”
