I live in a blue state, and hospitals are currently setting up tents in parking lots to make room for more COVID patients. ECMO and ventilator capacity is at 100%. This state is far from the top of the list in infection rate.

Things are not going back to normal, no matter how much we act like they are.

Exactly, thanks.

(I'm sorry I never studied psychology. I've always wanted to know why some people can state categorically that black is white or vise versa when the overwhelming evidence is to the contrary.) :-)

Things always go back to normal no matter how many doom preachers there are.
