I still think a lot about how COVID protections in the US (however half-assed they were) had the secondary effect of almost getting rid of the flu completely in the 2020-2021 season (damn, it's almost like masks and other community-based measures work for all kinds of viruses or something). And instead of learning anything from that and how you're only as healthy as the people around you, nothing was actually gleaned and society decided that there were too many preventative measures implemented.
Can't wait for the next pandemic when something even worse rolls around and the government leaves safety up to the individual from the get-go :yea:
