"The lowest-earning workers got a big pay bump during the pandemic, but those wage gains probably won't stick, as policies that bolstered wallets, helped keep children out of poverty and hunger, and kept people in their homes have all come to an end." - https://www.businessinsider.com/low-wage-workers-got-big-raises-during-pandemic-now-ending-2023-3

Remember that abandoning working class people is a policy choice, and one we need to reject.

"There is, and will be for the foreseeable future, sustained transmission across multiple countries alongside a significant burden of hospitalisations and deaths. Therefore, we may end up in the situation where there is technically an ongoing pandemic despite a declared end to the PHEIC. Such are the difficulties in defining the different stages of a global crisis." - @TheConversationUS

"Unwelcome a teacher as may be, the pandemic offers lessons we ignore at our peril, personal and social. Dare we hope we are up for the learning?"

"In the U.S. as in the UK minority populations are succumbing in disproportionate numbers. And what of our regard for the elderly and our respect for those people who look after them—often, again, of immigrant and minority backgrounds? Internationally, elder care is manifesting itself as a scandal: neglected seniors, undervalued, stressed, and underpaid caregivers."

"On the individual level, some of us now have an enforced opportunity to consider how much of our self-concept is bound up in what we do out there in the world, with the activities we engage in, with the acceptance other people offer us. ‘If not all that, who am I?’ becomes an almost inescapable question. The answer may not be immediately comfortable."

"It may be shock for many us to discover that, even in the richest societies the world has known, economic security and physical well-being are so precarious for so many, that a threat can so rapidly arise to menace ways of living and being we had taken for granted. We may also be asking ourselves just how essential some of our ordinary concerns have been."

"For years, in mainstream politics the conventional line – on everything from healthcare to basic living expenses such as housing – has been that even if the world has its problems, expansive government intervention is not a feasible solution . . . then the virus started spreading, governments spent trillions in days – even going so far as to write cheques directly to citizens – and suddenly the question of what was feasible felt different." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/31/how-will-the-world-emerge-from-the-coronavirus-crisis

". . . don’t let anyone fool you into thinking that the goal should be to get back to 'normal.' We don’t have to go back. And we shouldn’t."

"The coronavirus has exposed the vulnerabilities and inequities built into our health-care infrastructures, social safety nets, and economies—aspects that must be addressed as quickly as possible."
