@inthehands Yeeess, exactly, not having a known worrisome variant on deck right now is giving me hope that conditions will continue to improve!
Though, for the record, I also can't help but worry how that good news might be outweighed by the total lack of mitigations right now - no ventilation improvements in buildings, no masks in healthcare, no free rapid tests, waning immunity and fewer people getting boosters. 😬
