I have no idea what to do with this Covid revisionism. It feels like the bad kind of group therapy where you help each other ignore facts. We don't have to go *that* far back in the social media timelines to prove how fucked up it was. We were so scared we were scrubbing eggs and baking the mail.

"But Fauci--" Shut up. In those first months, we were so horny for someone smart and competent that when Fauci was asked who should play him on SNL and he said, "I don't know, Brad Pitt?" they got Brad Pitt and he ended the bit by breaking character to thank Fauci.

Whoever is going to be the public health spokesperson during the next pandemic is watching this revisionist pillorising...and is probably learning the bad lessons.

Watching older shows, and suddenly you get the part where everyone is wearing masks and/or staying six feet apart.
