“The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.” former vice president Hubert H. Humphrey

It’s such a mindfuck to see articles & TV shows trying to sensitively reflect on the ongoing COVID pandemic—but doing so only in the past tense, or as if it were a horrible event that ended in 2022 & is all behind us now & we just need to deal with the psychological after effects. It ain’t over.
In 2025, TV finally reflected the lingering effects of living through COVID-19

My husband and I were at a busy mall yesterday wearing our N95s, and we saw only one other person wearing a N95). I was going to hug him but restrained myself (I embarrass my husband enough).
Please consider masking with N95s along with getting vaccinated.
I promise I won’t hug you either.
