The coronavirus epidemic has almost become like climate change—a horrendous, worsening problem that only amounts to a dull, annoying hum in the background of our society’s consciousness. We can adapt to anything, it truly is amazing. There will be a vaccine at some point, and then it will go away. We’ll convert to green energy eventually, and it will no longer be a problem. I find myself wishing away problems in my own life from time to time, until I wake up and realize they won’t go away unless I attack them and solve them. It’s high time for us to collectively wake up.
