I will laugh last and best. And you are right, I've been smoking some serious shit.... its called REALITY. Not some media-infused hype-job. 1 year = things 99.9% back to normal and everyone wondering why the FUK we shot ourselves in the stomach so bad.
It's more than a year later and I don't know about everywhere, but where I live this is how things are.
I remain masked inside everywhere I go. Most everywhere requests it and many places do require it. I still don't go out to eat.
The children are back in classrooms - mostly - except for when the teacher or a student tests positive and they have to quarantine. That has happened a lot since school started. If I remember some 500 students had to be quarantined in the first week of school. In this county students and teachers are masked.
Hospitals are back to not performing elective surgeries and no visitors for most patients. Just like last summer when my husband had a heart ablation and pacemaker implant and I couldn't be with him.
Last August, when there were no vaccines, one of our two hospitals had 38 deaths from covid. This August, after vaccines have been distributed to all who want or are able to have them, they had 55 deaths. We have more cases and hospitalizations now than at any time during the pandemic. The vast majority of cases are the unvaccinated.
So, as for "1 year = things 99.9% back to normal" . NO. NOT EVEN CLOSE!
If you are not vaccinated and can be - run, don't walk, to the nearest place offering vaccines and get yours. I WANT things to go back to normal. So should you. For your sake and the sake of everyone out there, be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
