I’ve been noticing this too. Strangely, many people — mostly liberals — seem to be getting more defeatist and dispirited as the US gets a better handle on the pandemic.

The tone of some recent writing about this pandemic has seemed — to me, anyway — strangely defeatist.

Friends keep asking me questions like: “Is what I’m hearing true? We’ll never reach herd immunity?”

The subtext is we’ll never really be safe, we dare not demask, the pandemic will never leave us. It’s almost as if some writers are reluctant to let go of the biggest disaster (and biggest story) of our lives.

I can hear the liberal wailing reverberating through the land, echoing off hillsides, its antiphon ringing off cliffs and crags, precipices and promontories, as their defeatism and cheerless negativism blots out the very sun — at least in their own eyes.

Here, out in the real world, the pandemic is in retreat and safety can be found where before there was only danger. But you would not know it from watching those clowns. Pathetic.
