Everyone should celebrate being able to get together and feel free to get out but if we as a community, state, nation, and world don't take the past 16 months as a learning experience that will be a terrible consequence.
You see, while COVID did spread as quickly as many historic pandemics, it was far less lethal than the Black Death, or even the 1918 "Spanish" Flu.
Unfortunately as people spread into the last "wild" regions of the planet and far too many interact closely with wild animals, we will certainly see more pandemics in the future.
I had trouble getting people to believe me and protect themselves against COVID but I am concerned it will be even worse trying to get people to realize we will see more and worse pandemics in the future because of COVID exhaustion.
