Who would've thought? Who could've possibly foreseen this happening again? It was all supposed to be gravy now. We defeated COVID, didn't we? Al Pacino heading back inside, "Just when I thought I was out, COVID pulls me back in!"

    Sad thing is that once again the most affected people will be workers. When the mandate was lifted, it was primarily lifted for consoomers to get their treats. So it's the restaurant, retail, healthcare, and other services workers that will be bearing the brunt of this new wave as they are constantly exposed to several people who simply don't care anymore.

    And I doubt any significant mandate will be reenacted until it's too late, despite this following the same pattern we've seen these past 2+ years. Fuck Hochul, Eric Adams and the rest of the neoliberal establishment.

      Know that all to well at this point. Have already had COVID twice now, the first time very early in the pandemic without being vaxxed. The way they've opened up in my city, I know a 3rd bout isn't too far away. You can be masked up and vaxxed up all you want, but when its literally just laissez-faire bullshit with everyone else around you, at some point you will slip up.
