My dad, a Korean, told me at the beginning of the pandemic that people in Korea talk about BC/AC (before Covid and after COVID), i.e. that our lives will never be the same and we will live with it forever. I remember Americans (including my partner) telling me that it was too a dramatic statement, the pandemic was bound to be over and we'll in fact forget about it all. I guess what is actually happening is that we're just going to *pretend* that it's not here anymore... I understand the urge, there's also a question of the economy, but it's never more than apparent who we're willing to sacrifice to access that normalcy again. Which is a long-winded way of saying, so sorry about being sick with COVID so many times. Hope you are feeling better.
