For a lot of people, yesterday felt like a mini-version of March 2020.
: “Which media company’s very large holiday party resulted in a rash of COVID diagnoses?” Our anxiety manifested into guessing games in Slacks and group chats.Why does it feel like “everyone” is getting COVID right now?

Cases are up in New York City, as omicron, a variant of the virus that spreads very fast and can dodge some of the protection offered by the vaccine, spreads.
But in another sense, what is happening is not all that new. We are simply once again becoming conscious to a threat that has been real and meaningful and ongoing, killing a number of Americans that is extremely hard to process. By “we” I mean something specific—I mean the group of largely college educated and disproportionately white people who inhabit a certain corner of Twitter, the group whose positive COVID tests make the newspaper.
