My tummy took furever and furever to be good. But I got there.

What’s significant about this is it isn’t even like people snapped over the preventable mass deaths, the lingering discontent seems to be centered on the inconvenience. And it wasn’t even that long term. We’re not talking about Great Depression or WWII levels of mass sacrifice here.
One element of this that is interesting is the idea that, essentially, COVID broke us and in many ways we’ve never recovered as societies.
Not the only factor. But accelerant to the rest.
