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.

    yeah I have no idea what you can even do as an individual to hunker down, youre going to have to go outside. Honestly im more worried about the other stuff, the accidents that could land me in a hospital with no beds left. The 24 hour wait for ER treatment, seems bad.
