Better days will come – despite what the Covid doom-mongers say. I’m a cynic, and I agree with this.

The doomsters who say things like, “Even after the virus, you must still stay hiding under your bed, swathed in PPE, crying, until all your friends have forgotten you” really will greatly reduce vaccine uptake. Many liberals have made a weirdo fetish of staying indoors too, and it’s probably those same people now who are the doomsayers.

A significant number of people, including but not limited to influential voices on Twitter, have decided that there will be no “post-Covid” and that thinking we will ever return to a social life that looks like the one we left in March last year is laughable. If you mention that you’re looking forward to a summer holiday, a gig or a football game, they roll their eyes. Get real. The pandemic is here to stay and the old world is dead, idiot.

These are the same people who were proclaiming when the pandemic began that Zoom was just as good as being in person and probably the same ones who were saying back in February that not wanting to shake hands was racist.
