'The end of the beginning.' The dark winter is here and Americans see no end
CNN ^ | 02 01 2021 | Ray Sanchez

To the 28-year-old high school teacher, the expectation of a return to relative normalcy that came with mass coronavirus vaccination efforts is fading fast.

"There was that sense of hope and then, all of a sudden — I'm not saying that it's been dashed — but it feels like everything is still up in the air," said the public school teacher, who asked that his name not be used.

"No matter how much we want it to end ... there's still so much we don't know," he said of the pandemic.

January saw a record number of coronavirus deaths, with even more predicted by the end of February. Vaccines have arrived and others are on the way, yet more contagious variants of the virus have emerged. As tens of millions of Americans await vaccinations, lagging inoculation numbers and vaccine shortages temper expectations of normality anytime soon.

"We're not at the beginning of the end of this pandemic," said sociologist, physician and Yale professor Nicholas Christakis, who wrote "Apollo's Arrow: The Profound and Enduring Impact of Coronavirus on the Way We Live."

"We're just at the end of the beginning."

Welcome my friends to the lockdown that never ends.

Just so you know, CNN doesn't blame Biden for any of this.

Biden has just shoveled the first forty shovels full out of
our Chunnel. There’s no light at the end.

“there’s still so much we don’t know”

1) Will always be that way
2) For those who choose willful ignorance, even worse
3) For your kids, they know even less - so get back to work!

Trump losing was certainly not the end, or the beginning of the end,...but certainly the end of the beginning.

Fantastic quote I wish I knew who said it

Absolutely no media coverage on the Fox News story yesterday that the virus was engineered in the Wuhan lab.

Nooo - there’s a LOT we know but the globalists don’t want to confirm to keep us all in a slave mindset.

The worst pandemic we’ve seen in this country was the Spanish flu of 1918 and it ended BY ITSELF with no vaccines and no social distancing because of herd immunity 18 months after discovery.

There’s no reason NOT to believe that we’ll see the same thing here around Labor Day or before WITH a vaccine.

We’re not getting science from these idiots - were getting political theater from globalists that want to enforce the great reset upon us.

Don’t bend - don’t capitulate - the flu doesn’t become “magical” because Fauci says so. Unless it’s a bio-weapon... but then we’re assured it most certainly is not...

Trump kicked the door open. The Deep State sheep in sheep’s clothing have not yet figured out how to bolt it closed again - and the wolves can now see them inside...

Many of us remember the days of whooping cough, measles, mumps, chickenpox, polio. TB, pellagra, scarlet fever, hookworm, and scrofula. I'd rather have a bad case of the Covid "flu".

Sheep, drones, slaves, mindless imbeciles. Just force your mayors and governors to reopen your businesses and schools and take back your lives from the COVID tyrants!
