Laissez les COVID temps rouler

In February 2020 I went to Mardi Gras. COVID wasn’t really a thing yet. It was, but it was still a mythical unicorn, something happening somewhere else that would never make its way here. Little did we know then Mardi Gras was a gateway for it into the US, in retrospect the parade routes were an absolute cesspool, and ground zero for far more than the typical “party juice”. I’m still glad I went, the experience in the future will never quite be the same. It’s hard to see crowds of people now and not think of the airborne pathogens.
