A lot of people are interacting with the pandemic as though the situation is improving. In the short term, those people are disastrously incorrect.
A friend told me today there were more maskless people in our neighborhood today than there were last wk. Some people are becoming more careless as cases surge & as a new, more transmissible strain barrels toward dominance. I think the *idea* of the vaccine is having this effect.
People think we're in the homestretch when we're really in the "it's darkest just before dawn" stretch.
The consequences of our actions will be steep in the coming weeks. Steeper than at any point in this pandemic. I hope people will consider the largeness of that.
