We need a public transit system so robust that nobody drives on the roads and street racing becomes much easier for a few years til all the infrastructure crumbles and the only things we can drive are monster trucks and dirt bikes made from recycled autoparts that run on seawater hydrogen and Orgone Energy from the increased libido one experiences inside a monster truck
I do have sympathy for the immunocomprised who find they can now not at all safely circulate among humanity in an environment with Covid loose in humanity’s ecosystem.
But, yes, that’s what happens when a new highly infectious virus that can go several rounds with healthy individuals debuts, it becomes an environment incompatible with vulnerability for a while
I suppose now we at least know enough germ theory that we can even think of isolation as an option. And I suppose they were really often lucky to get to be immunocomprised in the first place, given how often that’s a side effect of something we figured to treat things lethal through all of human history until last generation.
Actually that’s a good question, is all that stuff practically dead-ended now? Do we just… lose the ability to do organ transplants for a millennia until humanity evolves genetic Covid defenses?
“But if you all dwelt forever as shades, as unto unliving things that never breathe among others or see their faces, I could still mix among you!”
Yeah, as I’ve seen you lament, even your friends won’t take that deal. And I don’t know you from Adam.

It wasn’t until I took flying lessons that I realized how empty and agricultural the land around my hometown was, I had a sense of the mid-county as not particularly urban but mature and developed, looking at it from the air I realized it was at most one building deep along a handful of roads connecting the few areas of any human aggregation.
It was about a year ago I got into the habit of going out to do some yard work most afternoons and then coming in to make one thing in the house better. I remember it, the period where 5-6 was the last hour of daylight like 4-5 had been weeks earlier.
Anyway basically every aspect of my home experience is significantly improved since then and still going.
