We can finally see the end of the pandemic. We just need to not implode before we get there

COVID-19 infection rates, hospitalizations and deaths are all dropping. Three vaccines are being administered in increasingly efficient, albeit still imperfect, ways. All teachers in California are now eligible, which means that schools in hard-hit Los Angeles County may open before the semester is over, relieving millions of parents of the their second (or third, or fourth) job — home educator.

A $1.9-trillion relief package was passed by Congress. More people are wearing masks, and fewer are throwing fits when asked to do so; a recent warm spell may not be good for the drought, but blooming trees and clear days bring the enduring hope of spring and summer. A summer that might actually include travel and events that, while still curtailed and involving the above-mentioned masks and social distancing, could mark a return to pre-pandemic life in a very real way.

So why are so many people hitting a wall now?

I don’t mean healthcare workers or front-line workers or first responders; these heroic warriors have been hitting walls and then throwing themselves once more unto the breach, dear friends, for going on 13 months now.
