There’s an adage that goes, “If you want to boil a live frog, don’t turn up the heat too quickly, or the frog will jump out of the pot.” Aside from why you would want to boil a frog, the point is that we may not notice incremental life-threatening changes until the damage is severe.

If that’s true, the lockdowns and shut-ins of the past two years may have boiled our collective well-being to shoe leather.
