The Forever Pandemic
I am so, so ready for this pandemic to be over.
I am tired of wearing a mask.
I am tired the division it causes.
I am tired of the whole damn thing.
But, it is not ending. Here in Minnesota, we now have the worst rate of infections in the nation, somehow. 95% of inpatient hospital beds in the state are currently full, meaning that people are being turned away all over. Unvaccinated people make up only 22% of the population, but are more than half of the people admitted to hospitals for COVID.
Like a lot of others, I viewed the release of vaccines as the start of the end. It turns out that maybe it was just the middle. Sigh.
No doubt, part of the problem was lagging infection rates and a dip in the use of masks and distancing. But beyond that... how did we get here?

People enjoyed their summer of freedom and forgot when they go back inside the virus will spread rampantly. Hence our current situation across the country and specifically in the northern climates.
