> Generally people are very forgetful.

People won't forget about a global pandemic that locked down everyone in their homes for months. Are you joking?



People won’t literally forget for many years, but the coronavirus will not be in the minds of most people in the future once the wave(s) are over.

The 1918 flu had a big impact, but a lot of other things happened in the 20th century!


Can you say any ways life changed due to the 1918 pandemic? Do most people even know about more recent ones? (1958?)

People are terrible at adjusting, we keep asking for (our definition of) "normal"


Faster horses.


I think people can’t wait to forget.
