Yes, I feel all of that as well, along with the fear that I could lose my health insurance at any moment! (*Cries in American*) I'm still holding out hope that we'll learn some lessons from this and not just try to forget it completely when it's over. I hope you don't need a local lockdown again!

Nice to meet you, Ope.
Sympathy with the health insurance worries. Any kind of Insurance is designed to make insurance companies profit, not actually help the insured. I try not to be cynical, but . . .
Meanwhile, would Socialised Medical Care be so terrible - though I'd recommend the French model, in practise, over the UK version. I understand Michael Moore did a documentary about various systems available in different countries. Most of which turned out to be better than Health Insurance!
As for Lessons Being Learned - hmmm. Praying they will be, but fear Big Business has too much invested in the Old Way of Doing Things. Alas.
