I don't really want to accept this "new normal" era. There's nothing normal about children not being able to go to school, or businesses closing, or distancing yourself from other people and being anti-social. I just want things to go back to the way they were when we didn't have to wear face masks all the time. I'm so sick of this.

If this virus isn't the end of the world something else will be - but at this rate with people refusing to wear masks and comically refusing the vaccine in a proactive way - just to stir up the hornet's nest... I'm almost leaning on the idea that all it took to end this world and usher in God's Kingdom was a virus.
I mean you look at it...
Alexander the Great died of fever... I don't know and I don't know if it is known exactly what virus he contracted... but eventually humanity made it through... but there weren't as many people, not as many things to do, not as many methods of quick and broad transportation... and no media to spread the defiant ideas of weirdos to just simply not take safety measures because it is an 'infringement on freedom' (which to me makes me think the person is a complete coward for being unwilling to simply but a thin piece of cloth over their mouth).
I drove past a stadium/dome recently that has sat empty for a year... and it is already advertising concerts... for 2022.
On the funky other hand Seattle Comicon optimistically advertised 2021 as the next convention - which was set for March I think... then May... and now December!
Them scantily-clad girls gonna be suffering during the outdoor photo shoots... IF it happens which if it does that is alright with me.
I don't think we're smart enough nor united enough to really put this thing away.
I work in pharmacy and a dude that tested positive for the virus first showed up for his test... INDOORS and without a mask on... and keeps showing up for tests... with people in the car with him...
We may be doomed... I hope not... but it doesn't look hopeful.
Here's to hoping.

Life will get back to normal in nine years.
Okay, the pandemic will be over long before that. But life will go on being crazy for 9 more years. Don't worry about it - it's necessary.
