Alas

I heard on NPR this morning that COVID cases may rise to "pre-pandemic" levels after the holiday get togethers that will serve as super spreader events.

But...I'm confused. Isn't pre-pandemic levels of COVID what we want? I would think it's pandemic levels of COVID that we want to avoid, not pre-pandemic levels. Pre-pandemic levels were great...because there was no fuckin' pandemic then.

What am I missing?
