NPR did a "countries are learning to live with the virus!" segment a while ago. We're gonna learn to live with the virus everyone wheeee!
edit: here's the story: https://www.npr.org/2021/10/30/1050850666/singapore-abandons-the-zero-covid-strategy
They say Singapore "abandons zero-covid policy" but they're not really lol. Just trying to torture it out of him. Actually I think this article was clipped from a longer interview segment. I remember him almost explicitly saying "no uh we're not trying to live with it that sounds crazy".
Many news outlets are also going after China's zero-covid policy and implying that they're getting left behind by the rest of the world. No discussion of the lives saved or failed responses elsewhere on the planet, just discussions of the scale of lockdowns (as if it's a bad thing). Recently someone here shared an article that cited pilots, chambers of commerce, and diplomats about how the quarantine rules are taking a toll.
You can get a pretty good sense of how much these outlets value human life, particularly compared to profits and xenophobia.

Social Darwinism is in the air. I wonder if we'll see the return of mask off eugenics in mainstream political thought.
Actually, I wonder if the Spanish flu played a role in the popularity of eugenics in the 20s and 30s...
