There is, after all, a lot that didn't happen as a result of the pandemic, and just as much we'd like to forget. Festivals and traditions that were canceled. People we didn't see, or saw less of â far less. Friends and loved ones who died.

For many of us, the pandemic feels like we were shipwrecked and marooned on an island â only without the benefit of mangos and pretty birds. We're waiting for the vaccine ship to arrive â we hear it's in the neighborhood â but even after it comes, we're still unsure what the world will be like when we make it back to the mainland.
