I have this bad feeling about those new strains that popped up, but then again I don’t expect good things to happed anymore.

    I honestly think this is a strawman while the rate of deaths is continuing to increase at rates never before seen - yes, vaccines are on the way, yes we will be out of this some time in 2021. But the only people I'm seeing who are arguing against "we will never be back to normal" seem to be arguing in bad faith, tbh. Shit is literally still accelerating and we have people who are pretending everything is sunshine and rainbows. It's not, and it won't be until some time in ~summer or fall based on the current data.

    400,000 deaths was January 19. 500,000 deaths was about a week ago. Last I checked, we're at about 515,000. Don't call me a doomer for reporting on the facts.

    I think this line of argument is extremely counterproductive.
