Someday many people are going to wake up to the reality of what we have done by letting Covid spread freely, and while I look forward to their awakening, I know that time will be bittersweet.  Seeing people wake up to reality will be a relief, but for those of us who never stopped paying attention, the relief will be accompanied by a feeling of dread, because there won't be much we can do to help.  People will have to deal with overwhelming guilt, anger, fear, and the knowledge that their choice to ignore the reality of Covid has done a great deal of damage.  It will be a great feeling to know that others acknowledge what we have known for years, but any feeling of vindication will be snuffed out quickly because the damage can't be undone.  Being Covid-aware is often a "lose-lose" situation, one that is filled with a great deal of grief for those who have to watch it unfold. The best way we can limit the damage is to stay loud, and make sure that "someday" is sooner than later.
