So far, so good?

Hi I had a massive spike of intrusive thinking after Covid, I lived in an area with the highest infection rate in the country. During Covid I hardly saw anyone and now, a few thousand days later, things seem to be okay. So, just maybe it’s really really over? But my intrusive thoughts tell me that that we’re heading for another pandemic. I guess a lot of it is down to what I want to believe but we do seem to be improving when it comes to pandemics, I think we’ve got things sorted for the next one, assuming it’s similar to Covid. I need to keep telling myself everything is ok and we survived…but I know I don’t really believe that.
