I Am So Tired of Denial
Jun. 14th, 2020 03:30 pm People keep talking like the pandemic is magically gonna be over in a year, and we can have our conferences and our vacations and so on then.
And then I point out that this is exceedingly unlikely, because vaccines take time, and they get irritated with me. "Why Are You So Cynical, Cait?" they ask me, and I shrug, and say, "Am I cynical or am I realistic?" And then they hastily change subject.
This grump brought to you by an irritated family zoom call, and people who assure me that I'm the one who doesn't understand Science. (Which, to be fair, probably not, but I understand the words in major newspapers, and those aren't that optimistic, so I dunno what to tell ya.)
