Flatten it straight up into the stratosphere :doomjak: |

Edit: after doing some cursory checking, this is equivalent to the surge that india experienced a while back, except its actually 3x worse since we have 3x fewer people

so that's cool. It's twice as bad in the UK as it is in the US, too

    I keep seeing people casually talk about COVID becoming endemic as if that means COVID being over. Lmao no that just means we failed and have given up trying to do anything about it.

    Now that i think about it, i guess for healthy young people that is basically COVID being over. Sad they can't see beyond themselves

      casually

      it's been the national agenda since forever. We're kicking the can down the road and we're running out of road

      Not really because long haulers exist and reinfections cause cumulative damage lul

      Covid isn't over for me as long as it can still kill my loved ones who are older, and give myself and others long term effects.

      But given less and less people care, there's less and less I can do to limit mine and their exposure. So it may be over soon whether we want it or not. Failed states; the whole West.
