"Delusional Us."

We are winning. We beat the predictions. We are winning.
And yet with all the deaths and all the cases how does it not feel like a win? Because it is not. It is but a false sense of security that the numbers cannot truly show. I believe we have won when we can safely vaccinate our most vulnerable , when the cases have dwindled to zero with no cases emerging and strict measures are just something that we do out of the ordinary.
When we can safely see our kids go to school without fearing that they are carrying the virus with them back home unknowingly or creating a worse strain as they continue to interact with each other.
When we stop lying to ourselves that this will get better just by doing nothing. That we are not connected to what the other person is doing. This will not end well for those who do not heed the advise. Nor for those around them.
No sir we are not winning. We are drowning and the solution being offered is to keep drowning.
