We’re finally beginning to look past the virus. Some expect things will eventually be back to normal, but I’m not one of them, not after what we’ve been through. It’s been unprecedented.

It’s not the virus itself so much as the response to it and foremost is damage our response has inflicted on our economy. Ultimately, that may kill more people than the virus does.
