As we approach another anniversary of the pandemic’s onset, many of us are reflecting on the past two years and thinking about the ways the virus has altered our lives. More than 950,000 Americans have died. Many more have lost a loved one, and millions are still grappling with the lingering aftereffects of infection.
As we begin to move toward a postpandemic future, it is vital that we remember the toll this virus has taken. The lessons of this pandemic should be carried with us so that — unlike what happened after the 1918 flu — it doesn’t fade from history, and so we can honor and memorialize those we have lost.
It is also inevitable that over time, many of our memories of these difficult years will fade. As a neuroscientist who studies memory and memory disorders like Alzheimer’s, I find this fact — perhaps counterintuitively — comforting. I have come to understand, through new research, that there is a danger in remembering too much and that forgetting is not only normal but in fact necessary for our mental health.
It used to be thought that forgetting anything — from minor things like the name of a casual acquaintance to the more painful loss of cherished memories experienced by my patients — was caused, to varying degrees, by a failure of the brain’s memory mechanisms. But new developments in neuroscience over the past decade or so refute this simple idea.
Neurons contain what are sometimes called nanomachines that are dedicated to the construction of new memories. But scientists have recently discovered that neurons are also endowed with a completely different set of nanomachines designed for the opposite purpose: to carefully disassemble — and thus forget — components of our stored memories.

It's time to move on. Many have died (supposedly). The past is the past. We need to look forward, not back. What happened, happened. It was no one's fault. And if you think about it, aren't we all to blame?
There will always be a large population of uninformed boobs that will never go maskless.
Sorry, murderers and society need to realize that an earthly accountability for that crime is best for us all.
It’s been that way at least since Moses brought down those stone tablets from the mountain.
Translation: in the upcoming elections don’t blame the Dims for all the Dim-caused deaths in the nursing homes, for all the Dim-caused inflation, all the Dim-caused loss of employment, all the Dim-caused loss in education, etc.
Given the present fashion, most boobs are masked, and that will probably continue; something to keep abreast of in future days.
‘There will always be a large population of uninformed boobs that will never go maskless.’
as well as a large population of malformed boobs that should be masked...
my junior prom date comes to mind...
They hope we will forget what they did to us, but I never will. I think we need to go back and figure out exactly where this virus came from and why they hid so much information from us. And why they mandated no early treatments and stopped off label prescriptions. Then we need to be fully informed exactly why we are funding all these bio labs around the world in secret. And that’s just in the first month, then we can start looking at all these agencies that suddenly had more power then the constitution, followed by crimes against humanity trials.
“We Will Forget Much of the Pandemic. That’s a Good Thing.”
Horseshiite.
Keep the Guillotine sharp.
Payback is coming.
NEVER forget what they have done to you, your family and your country.

Some will remember willingly, others unwillingly, as they deal with the loss of loved ones and their own health complications from the Jim Jones Jabs that these governments and corrupt korporations lied to them about.
How many people have relocated from Pfascists states and municipalities? How many have changed jobs and careers to never be in a situation where some Pfascist is going to tell them to take part in a medical experiment or lose their job?
Probably not those who were illegally fired from their jobs.
I believe some were kicked out of the armed forces also.
Already trying to set the ‘narrative’. I am not sure that the NYT were ever a news organization, but have always been a propagandist for the State. There main job (and the WP, AP etc.) is not to report the truth, but to set the narrative that they want and release it around the world.
“Are you serious, Clark”?
most of them located here in NY- they wear their masks while driving to protect their windshields from getting the china flu
I WON’T forget for all the Hell them Dems put my family through, and all for NOTHING!
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha....and true.
Maybe so. But we must never forget who it was who
Closing in on 1 MILLION reported Covid deaths and NOW its time to forget.
When we hit 400K Trump had “blood on his hands” but now that Biden is in... its time to forget.
The commie ‘RATs got what they wanted out of it. A corrupt “mail-in” ballot system where anybody on the planet gets to vote as many times as they want to.
