evanesce - verb - to drift out of memory or sight
This morning I heard on the radio that President Biden expects to have the entire country vaccinated by May. If this truly happens, does it mean that COVID-19 will evanesce completely? Most likely, no, but eventually, it will take its place alongside the other commonplace maladies, such as the flu, and merge into the line-up of viruses so that in a few years, the death toll from it will no longer be on the front page of the daily newspapers or headlining on Twitter. Those conscience of their health and perhaps the health of others may still wear masks when in crowded quarters although vanity could win out over conscientiousness.
Where am I going with this? Where's the connection to optimism? Well, cue up George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" for the answer. After the storm runs its course and the damage dealt with, the worst of it will evanesce. The sun will appear, illuminating all that is good.
Amen.
