We’re just gonna pretend like covid doesn’t exist anymore. Restrictions will lift, news reports will dwindle, cases will slowly stop being tracked and the public will move on. But the virus will still be here.

If our local hospitals are over capacity, and there are no beds available, will we even know? Sure there will be tiktoks or whatever but how are you supposed to know if it’s your hospital?

I think that just not acknowledging it, as opposed to doing nothing but still acknowledging it and providing data, is the most horrific outcome so of course this is what the monkeys paw did when our societies said “I wish I didn’t have to think about COVID anymore”

How are we ever supposed to get “back to normal” now? The world has inexorably and permanently changed for the worse, as always.

    How is it that they seem to have the iron discipline to literally TURN DOWN vacation or higher wages because they as workers need to make the "noble sacrifice" to keep the economy afloat. But we are cool with COVID because "but I don't FEEL like doing what needs to be done?"

      Contrarian. Don't want to conform with authority. They just get their jollies from being assholes. Kind of like Vaush or Jimmy Dore.
