I guess at some point we're gonna have to start treating this like chicken pox or something. Pretty sure its not going anywhere. My guess is it will do just like the flu and keep mutating and getting weaker with each mutation until we have a yearly shot for it and you just take your chances if you dont get it but you stand a way less chance of dying from it.

one of the podcasts I listened to quoted a french scientist at the beginning of covid that said most Lab made Viruses tend to mutate back to their original state. At this point, it looks lab-made but no one has outright come out and proved it but it is mutating back to what looks like a normal corona. Which is just a cold. Which as we know most colds spread fairly quickly, and yes some people develop pneumonia and other crap off a cold but we've dealt with that for years

since you mentioned Picard I did get to hear John Delancie (Q) talk this weekend and he said Q will be much more direct and mature this round. I'm excited to see him reprise that role. Had to go out and get paramount again only to find Picard season 2 isnt out yet. I have been watching Mayor of Kingstown with Jeremy Renner. Damn good show......again now stuck waiting for a new season.

Times were much simpler before streaming but required the use of a VHS or DVR and show seasons ran throughout the year even if it was with reruns. The ability to just sit down when the weather is bad out and blast through a full year of shows is nice though haha.
