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.
It will take multiple deaths amongst the ruling class for any kind of change from the trajectory we’re on. They won’t stop taking precautions of course, but as long as they can shield themselves with tests, vaccines and anti-virals, nothing will change.
As far as I’m aware, we still don’t know if the virus is lingering in the body (like polio or shingles or HIV), and there still isn’t scientific consensus on immune system damage. It’s such an amazingly brave roll of the dice to let it rip at this stage.
