When despite the isolation and difficulties and people being terribly ill and dying, there was this feeling of something good might come out of this great reset of society?

That feels very distant now.

    Aside from the death and fear it was great. All plans canceled. Lots of distant community. Lots of processes that seemed impossible (like work from home) suddenly were easy.

    Then fuckers started whining. Place started opening too early and raising infection rates. More people died.

    Fuckers started selling counterfeit masks. Medical misinformation ran rampant.

    As USA N95 supplies drop due to fired inspectors, and misinformation increases, this next pandemic will suck.

    Edit: Even UBI seemed possible. Which is wild.
