      Really don't know that all this will wind up producing much lasting change, but I hope late summer is fun, at least.https://twitter.com/mj_lee/status/1359987932677947392 …

      The news from Biden's remarks at NIH just now is that administration is now getting hundreds of millions of Covid vaccines earlier than expected -- enough to vaccinate most Americans by the end of July.

      Why wouldn't prevent lasting change?

      Still not sure I understand. I think if we have mass vaccination by late summer, odds are very high than we'll have a lasting return to something-approaching normal (until the next pandemic, which could of course be soon)

      I'm saying I'm not sure the pandemic will wind up producing societal change, sorry.

      One way it could which is that CARE & new stimulus will show big advantage of just cutting checks to end poverty. Could lead to long term change.

          I think it's more likely than not that we emerge from this with a much better welfare state and way more investment in green tech. Having a unified Dem government come to power at a time of elite consensus in favor of massive deficit spending and public investment is a big deal
