When will the pandemic end? SARS-CoV-2 will remain with us forever. But the pandemic will one day end. I think it will end in the spring of 2022. We have to assume that the first generation vaccines will only be 40% effective, and that only half of American adults will get them. By the way, thanks Trump and anti-vaccine idiots for turning people against the vaccine. Trump spoiled public opinion by promising it was coming in October 2020, and through his denial of the pandemic overall. He really thinks the media will stop reporting about it next week.

I don't have any travel plans until June 2022. I have nothing booked yet. But I hope to be in Vieques, PR that month. Oh, and I am never going to stop wearing a mask outside my house and car. If nothing else, I will catch fewer colds. I am never going back to a life without face masks. Not after something so traumatic and world changing as this.

2021 will be another year locked in my home state of New York. Thank goodness it is a big, beautiful state. With a car, road trips are possible. I will rent other people’s houses if I want a chance of scenery. I will endure another 18 months.

Let’s see if I’m correct.
