A year ago, on March 17, I wrote a piece about how scientists were predicting that we might have to social distance for a year or more. Soon I was hearing from friends and family via chats and text. “Brian, I literally don’t know if I can,” one friend wrote me. Their responses could be summarized as, “SAY IT ISN’T SO.”
Being physically apart from one another for so long has been among the bitterest pills to swallow in the Covid-19 pandemic. But it’s also one of the hardships scientists warned early on we’d have to endure.
By mid-March 2020, “I think we had a pretty good sense of what we were in for,” Stephen Kissler, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Harvard who co-authored an influential paper on a possible timeline of the pandemic in the spring of 2020, told me recently. - from source fox.xom
