    Just wanna let you know you're not the only one horrified to the societal indifference to the mass suffering, disabling, and death brought upon by COVID. I get the same misanthropic thoughts from time to time since hardly anyone gives a shit about the pandemic anymore, but deep down, I know that propaganda works and these people are being gravely misled about the nature of the pandemic and the ongoing danger.

    I genuinely have no idea what the fuck to expect in the future, and that's the scary thing--I don't think any of us can predict how things are going to go down. I'm just so jaded by the societal callous indifference and normalization of mass death and suffering. I don't know what it would take for more people to start taking things seriously again. An escape variant with a noticeably higher fatality rate? Perpetually overloaded hospitals? More anecdotal stories of people knowing someone who died from or was disabled from COVID? Long COVID eventually manifesting in much worse ways than what we currently know?
