I still haven't fully internalized and accepted the murderous absurdity that is nonetheless normalized all around me that "covid is over because... don't want to worry about it anymore."
If history continues to be written and civilization exists in the future in a way that allows history to be interpreted fairly, the current "covid is over" can and should be seen like the ancient Romans knowing that lead was poisoning them and using it anyway.

Good news! California is banning lead in all fuel, set to take effect in… 2031. So just a couple thousand more years before killing grandma for your treats is no longer acceptable!

I think it's even worse tbh because, and I suppose charitably, lead had/has an actual practical use and Covid is literally just a virus. We can't make it into pipes. We can't make it into anything except death and disease. There is no reason for things to be like this regarding pure illness other than everyone sees everyone else in the world as disposable NPCs and themselves as invincible.

Jet fuel and motorboat fuel aren't being exempted this time, right?
This time CA pinky swears it! Although they’ve pushed back the deadline every single time they were gonna ban it earlier.
Debate nerd stuff
It’s Avgas (used by piston engines) that has the lead in it. Lead in jet fuel is generally a very bad thing - it makes the spinny things stop!
