    Fuck, man. I remember in March 2020 telling my level-headed aunt and uncle that this thing could potentially go on for a years. "Just look at the Spanish Flu, that pandemic took two years to get control of and we're way more globalized now." "Yeah, but we're so much further ahead in medicine, I think we'll have this handled in 4 months or less." They didn't account for the pandemic to be hyper-politicized and our horribly mishandled management of the whole goddamn thing. I want out of this.

      I had similar discussions at the start. Shocking that people are so daft about this stuff in a way.
