That is reading backward....which should portray hope.
Looking forward during our time the outlook is confused by the extreme divided politics of the day. Compounded by instant global communications that allow significant emphasis on what the future holds....which are based on specific agendas...not all of which have the welfare of the masses in mind.
So based on your background, beliefs, influences, hopes.....how do you see the pandemic evolving and do you believe we will get back to life as most know/knew before the pandemic, political and special interest furor?
Not looking for blame or finger pointing or agenda promoting or who shoulda/coulda did or did not catharsis....just down to earth how do you see the future playing out as it affects and may affect your life.
I personally do not see any break with the current trends in infection until there is a vaccine/cure(?). Or there is a new infection/death rate that is accepted as it is what it is like the flu, cancer, auto deaths, smoking deaths, etc.
As the saying goes....this too shall pass.
I personally think the bigger issue facing our lives and how it affects all of our futures, is the accelerating deterioration of law and order to a new level of acceptable violence and selective enforcement of laws.
It seems we are being driven on a win/lose course with significantly dangerous results.

Hi, If one listens to the medical folks, they are the ones who seem to have their "act together" when it comes to what to do with this virus. After all, their only agenda, is to impart medical information. Throughout this entire time, the medical people have been consistent; hand washing, social distancing, mask wearing and sanitation of the environment are the basis of what we are to do. Until there is a treatment, a cure or a vaccine, we must live our lives around these actions. This is what had to be done in 1918 and this is what has to be done now. Any other information, opinions, or suggestions you hear will be coming from a source which may have a more personal, political, or narrow motivation and should be looked at with great skepticism. At the moment, it appears as if our new "lifestyle" is going to be with us for quite a long time. The 1918 flu took almost four years to dissipate. None of us like this, but it is the way of life now. Best wishes and stay safe.
