Is It Just Us or Does Everyone Have a Cold Right Now?
The New York Times
Because misery loves company.
A nasty cold hit New York City and much of the country this summer.
It arrived just when life seemed good again. Or at least when life seemed like it maybe could become good again. It was that halcyon window of summer — after vaccine second doses but before “breakthrough” and “Delta variant” had fully entered the lexicon.
Remember? When gathering on streets and in warehouses and at bars seemed like it was permissible, maybe even emotionally healthy? When, as this publication put it, “New York Felt Alive Again”? Oh, how young we were 20 weeks ago.
