Periodic reminder that we are not anything like "post"-pandemic. We are mid-pandemic; Peri-pandemic; Right smack dab in the fucking middle of a goddam pandemic and no amount of squeezing our eyes shut and plugging our ears and going "la la la it's not real" while wishing it were otherwise will make it so.
I vaguely remember estimates from the very beginning of the outbreak that this thing would take around five to six years.
*But* these estimates were assuming we do everything right, or at least strive towards doing the work that needs to be done.
Needless to say we’re pretty fucking far from that being the case while being barely halfway through the timeline of a best case scenario.
