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.
Aztecs sacrificing people to make the sun go up? "Wow, so primitive" Capitalists sacrificing people to make line go up? "Return to normal"
