Ocean City - In a about a century and a half, humanity has conquered space, shrunk the world and vanquished most of our most troublesome diseases. Boomers and those younger have come to expect that medicine and science can overcome almost any problem, giving us amazing life expediencies in most developed nations. Now, we have found something that beat us. We may 'flatten the curve' but we will never restore what 21st century people had called normal. My parents expected people to die or be disabled from disease. Unless we accept that many more people will die beyond medical help, there will be no 'normal."
