"Our country is on the cusp of a grim milestone: soon, a million people in the United States will have died of COVID-19. Yet for many Americans this reality seems vague, abstract—a group problem for which we must take individual responsibility. We struggle to see the crisis we’re in.
"We can get booster shots and persuade others to do so; we can make plans for accessing monoclonal antibodies or antiviral pills. When cases rise, as they will, we can consider how we might lower the chances that we’ll pass on the virus to someone for whom the consequences could be catastrophic. After two years of ebbs and flows, of surges, variants, vaccines, and boosters, our choices matter, perhaps now more than ever."

Well, many of us have been making the right choices for two years and have always taken personal responsibility, while others refuse to mask up or get vaccinated. The BA.2 variant is here, and there's a worrisome Omicron XE variant on the horizon. Contrary to what some people think, COVID isn't over, and more vigilance rather than denial is required.
