Some are going off the cliff here. The former president's own lawyer admitted he didn't have the evidence to prove election fraud changed the outcome of the election. Rudy Giuliani admitted 'we just don't have the evidence' of voter fraud, according to testimony (yahoo.com)

And, just this week: Former Trump lawyer censured for falsehoods about election | Fox News

At times like this, we need to man-up. Or, ostrich down and put our head in the sand, where there is little to no oxygen.

Back on topic, I actually think "we" collectively learned some things, and many perhaps think some things about COVID that are not warranted.  I keep reading these mRNA vaccines are being tested against other agents, which could end up being a good thing.  I think "we" mostly understand now that lockdowns might flatten the curve a bit but area under the curve remains the same.  I could see a one week or so lock down in the future, but probably not much longer than that (if the plague were much much more lethal folks would panic and lock themselves down).  We saw how the "news media" is not very adept or honest.  

Maybe some other things, dunno, I'm slightly surprised today how little impact COVID has on our lives, for which I am thankful.

Depends on who you talk to.

It had a huge impact in the classroom in many places.

It further polarized our country.

It very likely affected an outcome in a Presidential election.

It changed the way/where we work, likely permanently.

"Had" versus "has".  My life today is unperturbed by COVID anything.

There are many more people than you.

Talk to a guy who lost his restaurant, for example. There are a ton of those guys.

yup, if Cincy lived somewhere with fewer options for dining, it may have perturbed his life

It perturbed all our lives back when, but today?  How does it impact you today?

I can't think of anything.

one of my friends got the COVID 7 weeks ago

still not back to normal

This is one of the things I've learned about various viral illnesses that I didn't ever know or think about before.  Not just long COVID, but how the common flu can affect some people for weeks/months/years after the original infection is gone.  I really had no idea.

you are not a young student and dont have a job nor place of business so you are one of those lucky folks who are at a point in life to be least affected

Here in Florida, it has little impact on "me". I worked from home even before Covid hit and the state was not on lockdown long enough to impact many businesses, if any.

Back up in Illinois is different. 

I'm still a chamber member and a lot of my fellow members, who I consider friends, are no longer members because their businesses are no longer open. They were deemed non-essential. Imagine how that would feel.

I have a niece and a nephew who are fish out of water and failing in school.

I can't go to my favorite restaurant because it's closed permanently.

I could go on, but what's the point?

I did fail to mention that my company lost 3 employees, because they refused to come back to the office at least 3 days per week. That hurt because one of the was a really good designer and another a really good drafter. Still have not been able to replace them.

No sleep lost on the weak link. Good riddance.

Our School systems haven't recovered from kids taking a year and a half off.

Not to mention the social skills destroyed in the process.
