The pandemic isn't really "over" but many are starting to act and behave as though it has been completely eradicated.

Zach and Brandon explore a recent article written by Amy Morin, LCSW and editor-in-chief for Verywell Mind, which discusses how different generations of Americans are bouncing back (or not) from pandemic life.
