As I sit in my office building for 8 hours with a mask on, listening to people around me act like it’s over. I am counting down the seconds till I can be back in my house, safe and sound.

The post-COVID degradation of general preventative care and the anti-vax hysteria might be playing a role, as well. How many hospitals don’t have enough saline to treat the influx of flu-victims during the peak of the season? How many clinics and ERs have simply shuttered due to skyrocketing costs and skinflint insurance companies? How many elder care facilities have lost too many staffers (traditionally popular jobs among now-unwelcome migrant workers) to function as anything except morgues?
Even absent the threat of COVID, domestic society is being hollowed out by finance and private equity.
