I feel like they know that they can’t make people care for covid ever again. We’re not better prepared if something like this happens again, quite the opposite, the next pandemic is gonna me a grade a shitshow. I work for a lot of different people, and a lot of them still can’t wait to tell me their take on covid, and pretty much all of them are in agreement that they would never get vaccinated again.
Yeah. We joked about the dumb trope where the cheerleader goes down into the dark spooky basement to check on that weird sound with a dodgy flashlight, but then we discovered we’re all apparently the cheerleader.
Wear this face diaper, respect everyone’s personal space and wash your hands properly? We learned this when our TV-nannies showed us MASH and stElsewhere and Scrubs. Too much for us to commit to, though, as if an entire super-nation doesn’t do it every winter.
I mean it’s here to stay, what is there to care about? It’s the same as the flu or strep throat or the cold, you can get vaccines if they’re available, you can wear a mask in public if you want to protect yourself more but it’s just a fact of life now.
Those 800 people that died of covid probably pails in comparison to the number of people killed by the flu.
With the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19), flu activity during 2021-2022 was lower than observed before the pandemic. Compared with flu seasons prior to pandemic, the 2021–2022 flu season was mild and occurred in two waves, with a higher number of hospitalizations in the second wave.
You picked a year where covid protocol statistically skewed the
data lower than normal
not one post about the 759 Americans who died of #COVID19 in the last week of full data from the CDC
759x52= 39,468/ year which is around the flu but higher, makes sense since covid is newer. That’s also assuming that the week in question is not an anomaly, which we don’t know.
My argument is significantly stronger than your data handling

Best you can hope for is that it is far into the future that a new set of idiots or otherwise gets a crack at it.
Did they all catch autism or something?
Oi, don’t throw autism under the bus
Sorry, no offense meant, unless you believe in conspiracy theories about vaccine dangers
I don’t think one of them folks would be defending autism, would be a site to see though

CDC statistics show that in 2022, just short of 6,000 people died of influenza. That’s about 16 per day.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu-burden/php/data-vis/2021-2022.html
Normal per year is typically around 20k deaths, but can go up to 50k
https://www.cdc.gov/flu-burden/php/data-vis/past-seasons.html
Okay, 800/day is nearly 300k/year, so your argument is still weak.
Or maybe you didn’t read:

Not at all the same, that shit will give you a chronic disease.
Haha wear a mask in public he says. https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/states-dust-off-obscure-anti-mask-laws-to-target-pro-palestine-protesters
