The world is in denial over this dangerous respiratory disease that crossed over from animals to humans. We're seeing solid evidence that people who get infected more than once can develop serious, incurable conditions later in life. I myself have stopped going to indoor concerts for life. I mask on all forms of transportation. I will only work remote jobs. And I probably go to four indoor events each year that I can't avoid. I am very privileged. My one and only infection was in November 2022 (caught at an indoor concert, where I was loosely masked). My partner got a second infection in May 2023. We have to keep this 'goals allowed' number low, because the higher the number, the greater the risk. And thanks to the immaturity of humans, this pandemic is still a pandemic. I used to think that the number of new cases would drop low enough to become endemic. But it hasn't. So it is quite possible that sometime in the 2030s we get a new pandemic while this one still simmers.
And we still have the worst years of GOP minority rule to look forward to.
