I miss when you could say "the pandemic" and there was no ambiguity which disease you might be talking about
@else "the pandemic? do you mean the bubonic plague? the Spanish flu?"
@else still haven't internalized that there's 2 of them now
@else I miss when you couldn't say "the pandemic"*
*and have it mean something currently happening
@else I miss the days when there was ambiguity for a different reason
