People who haven’t really resumed socializing at levels they used to, people who lost the capacity to regulate during interpersonal interactions, people who lost trust in others… I encounter lots of partial returners out there

    There’s no “over”. Coronavirus is here to stay now, just like the flu. Thankfully it has become a lot more benign as it has mutated, and we know a lot more about it and have vaccines now, so it’s pretty manageable.

      Coronavirus is here to stay now, just like the flu.

      By ‘the flu’, do you mean that virus where one entire strain was eradicated by masking and distancing over the winter?

      THAT flu? The one with the strain that died out after trivial effort? Do you want to use it as an example of some perennial curse, or are you saying that we can eradicate covid again with similarly trivial effort?

        It’s pretty clear that they meant “a constant factor in our daily lives”, you really don’t need to be this hostile.
