Back to Normal?

 

“It appears that the vaccines are effective and the humans are returning to work. If things go as planned, we’ll have the run of the house by the end of the year.”

Back to normal?  Yep.  Even for the mice.

I remember when I was struck by the horrible thought:  "What if everything just returns to normal?"  Without any really significant exceptions (except "endemic"), we seem to be drifting slowly back to 2019.  

I guess that, quoting from the heading of this blog, we have "glimpsed possibilities of other worlds," paused a moment, and said, "Nah."
