As we approach the sixth anniversary of the first mandatory stay-at-home orders in reaction to Covid, it seems most Americans just want to forget the whole era. After all, for many people, it is easier to forget rather than confront their participation in the mass hysteria that included seniors forced to die alone, crushed livelihoods, and stunting the education of an entire generation.
