Where, exactly, are we today? With per-capita deaths in the ballpark (or lower) than developed countries with more strict, and far better enforced, lockdowns, and at times severe travel restrictions (UK, Italy, Spain, France) [1][2]? Where states with no or fewer restrictions, like Texas or Florida, are doing barely worse (or better) than states with draconian restrictions, like California? [3] With one of the highest vaccination rates reported among large developed countries? [4]

I forgot to mention another good thing about 2020, I really feel good when I do something that annoys holier-than-thou busybodies; living in a liberal city it is typically hard to do, but 2020 was a great year for that activity :D
