Pandemic Reality
Everyone has their thoughts on the vaccines, having been developed so rapidly. And there are significant distribution issues. The reality is it will be a tough winter and spring, as it will take some time to get a majority of the population vaccinated. We have to stick it out without its rescue for a prolonged period of time—and really, it’s not a 100% rescue. The biggest lesson from the pandemic is that nothing is 100%, that we do not live in a world of 100% certainty. We are now evolving alongside this novel virus, which has joined the fray with the millions of other species on this planet. It can be scary to accept this actuality, but once we do we can better organize and prepare for the continued advancement of our species. Perhaps, in fact, we will do so with a better understanding of the complex ecosystem in which we exist.
