It will be really nice to go to Mandarin again and pig out without even worrying about who is standing beside you every second. Finally, the World Health Organization declares the Corona virus as an extinct living organism. How nice it will be to stroll on the Las Vegas stripe and marvel the world famous Bellagio dancing fountains with the Sinatra music playing in the background! This has to be much nicer than trembling and worrying about not wearing a mask or standing 6 feet behind some strangers who cannot stop talking.

We have been waiting for more than a year for this day to come, so life can go back to normal again. At one point, normal seems so far away, and the pessimists say we may never be able to do all the fun routine activities. How ironic and pathetic to have such negative view?  They should never doubt science and the innovative mind of the Pfizer scientists.

 

I can’t wait to see Top Gun in an IMAX theater so my eyes are popped and my ears are deafening when the fighter jets take off from an aircraft carrier. This is one of the reasons why all of us should treasure every single moment of freedom, no matter how insignificant it is.
