This is painful to read and relive the missteps, flat out lack of knowledge, mind-bending events that have altered our lives. I didn't expect Wright to visits the pockets of miscombobulation throughout the entire COVID experience. I wonder if we ever are the wiser after each of us these events. Readers in the future may think the content is somewhat ridiculous, but to those who managed to live through it - what a horror.
