interval infection

COVID-19 infection coinciding with a patient's first vaccination and developing prior to receiving the second. The symptoms may easily be misinterpreted as side-effects from the vaccine.

He had felt strange since receiving his first dose of the vaccine - aching, fatigued, coughing, short of breath. Three weeks later, after receiving his second dose, he had a fever of 102, was fighting for breath and coughing badly. While it was logical to assume he was having a severe reaction to the vaccine, the stronger probability was that he had contracted an interval infection.

ICEolation

The condition of migrant families held in detention during the pandemic.

They seem all-but forgotten, many thousands of innocent people still being held in ICEolation, parents and children separated from each other, crowded and unable to keep any distance, now at extreme risk for contracting COVID-19.

A self-aware admission that your life's journey has been hollow.

social unrest

Disorder created by injustice, inequality and lack of accountability for the suffering of the people. A negative for which no positive - 'social rest' - exists.

The nightly protests and curfews were an outward sign of the social unrest which had been bubbling for years, exacerbated by surging unemployment, poverty and uncontrolled disease.

anachron

A unit of experience devoid of temporal dimension. A timeless moment, year or lifespan.

Increasingly, he felt every unit of experience as an anachron. He was unable to answer what hour, what season, what decade it might be, or how old he was, completely uncertain as to how much, or whether, any time had passed or would pass between this moment and another. He was simply alive and had been granted extraordinary freedom from the weight of time.
