Yes, lots of convos on the C&C comment threads over this very thing. Grateful for this blog and the comment family as we all have similar stories. For me it was Spring of 2020 as I had lots of fights with family and friends over the holes in the narrative. Lost my best friend of over 30 years over all this and had no income for months (self employed) so lots of time for self-introspection and finding a new way forward. New tribe, better vision, and better action plans today but it was painful at the time.
So many lost so much from the very beginning. I’m a senior and as my Bible group sat outside nobody seemed to recognize the sacrifices being made. We seniors weren’t really dealing with the same economic damage. I and my hubby made more $ in our investments. (Until Biden. ) The businesses closed. The struggles. The damage to children. Thrown out of our church building FGS. The shattering of relationships. So much. The lies became clear to me by the autumn. They didn’t seem to care. I was shamed eventually and now they prattle on about getting Covid again and getting their boosters. Something has disappeared between their ears. Your last sentence says it all. I have a new community.
Yes, the fact that so many churches caved to this, mine included, was perhaps the greatest disappointment of all of this. Especially when the pastor preached 'fear not' sermons while complying with county mask mandates and distance protocols.
