21st Century Plague: The Rise and Fall (?) of a Global Pandemic

Based on what was shown in the media here, I think that Australia and New Zealand fared better than most. I'm looking forward to hearing what else you have to say.

Honestly, I'm happy it's somewhat over. I'm not happy for myself. I would tell anyone who would listen that the government could punish me, as long as they left my kids out of it. They didn't listen, which is no surprise.

I'm happy for my kids, who can go to school full time. They can enjoy activities with friends. They can be kids again.

Oh hell, I'm happy too. Who wouldn't be? But it's the lasting damage that's been done, the legacy left behind. Also the complacency: we don't seem to have learned anything. It's as if oh this will never happen again. I still wear a facemask when I go out, but I can see I'm in the small minority. I hope it's over for good, but you never know when another, stronger and more deadly variant - or a new virus (cough) Monkeypox might come along.
