Post COVID? We're still seeing excess deaths, were still seeing long COVID absolutely wrecking lives, we're still totally unaware of the long term impacts of a COVID infection.

I don't blame anyone who is looking at that and saying, "I've built systems that are comfortable and work for me".

The article discusses several folks who want to go out, but find it challenging or difficult, people who are unhappy at home. By all means, invest in helping them, but don't say COVID is over. Even after the disease is endemic, there will be depression, anxiety, fear, and other lingering impacts. Emotional responses to a global pandemic aren't just things you can flip a switch on.
