    The pandemic lasted from early 2020 with a public health emergency lasting through into 2023. COVID itself has become a global endemic; similar to the flu.

    The economic effects, the death toll. The social unrest. It was all only ramping up.

    People stopped dying. That’s about the only way the situation has improved. But dead people are still dead and they’re not going to be coming back. Everything else has continued to degrade.

    So yes. I am much worse off now than 4 years ago. Or any other time in 2020.
