"It's been, obviously, a long two and a half years for Americans, and we understand that people want to move on," Jha, the White House COVID-19 coordinator, told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz of the virus that has killed more than 1 million people in the U.S. "The good news is people can move on if they keep their immunity up to date."

I fucking hate this piece of shit, AHHHHHH :agony-limitless:

Also a revealing quote when asked about RSV:

"RSV, for most people, [is] not a big deal. It's very mild. For the elderly, and for the youngest kids, it can be a problem," he said, recommending "basic respiratory hygiene" such as "avoiding sick contacts ... washing your hands, cleaning surfaces."

If only there was a better way to protect others and yourself, like putting a piece of cloth over your face and nose, perhaps? Nahhhhhhh

The vaxxed and relaxed mindset will continue until everyone has long COVID, sorry folks.

    Completely anecdotal, but it seems like 2 out of every 5 young persons I encounter(passing them in the grocery store, mostly) has a terrible constant raspy cough. It could be the cold weather. I pray that's all it is. It just makes me sick what we’ve allowed to happen.

      Last week when I rode the bus, some dude sounded like he was coughing up his lung for half of the bus ride. And he was unmasked, of course. :yea:

      So either he was contagious with something or was dealing with lingering side effects of a past COVID/flu/RSV infection or some shit
