Feeling pessimistic about COVID & 2021?

Don't!

I'm not. Here's why

We'll likely have about 400M doses of Moderna/Pfizer by end of June

Enough to vaccinate 80% of adults

And that means a much better summer

Of course, we'll likely also have J&J, AZ, Novavax

I’m sick of the covid fear narrative “you can’t be afraid forever”. It’s not fear that keeps me isolated/ social distancing it’s responsibility. Can we reframe this to “I have a responsibility to others and to do what I’m asking everyone else to”?
