At some point, I promise, we will return to our ordinary lives. We will be able to meet with our friends for brunch, go round our mum’s house for a roast, hold hands with someone special at the park, all without fear of someone calling the social distancing police on us. We might forget that, for a little while, we were unable to spend time with the people who mean most to us. And we may very well start taking that time for granted once again. We’re only human, after all.

My hope, though, is that – just as You’ve Got Mail’s Kathleen and Joe learn throughout the course of the film – our life is made all the more meaningful by human connection. That spending time with one another online has undoubtedly made our IRL relationships stronger. That, when we finally meet in the park and see one another face-to-face, sans the pixels, it will be made all the more moving by the fact we’ve shared so much in such a short space of time.

That we will know everyone so much better, on a far deeper level, than ever before.
