    the fact that a post like this still has people in the comments acting like COVID is in the past and 1k ppl in the US alone aren’t dying of it every week. COVID literally hasn’t gone anywhere all of you have just closed your eyes to the consequences of your actions.

      19k people die in us yearly just because they use a gas cooker.

      Dont look up how many die per year from regular flu. Covid is over and its a small disease like any other now.

        Exactly.
        In the US Covid has become a political issue.
        After the omicron? variant or whatever one that was harmless and even not noticable to most healthy people ost countries went back to normal.
        When I saw images from the US with many people wearing masks outdoors literally years later and I asked why I got immediately attacked as a bleach injecting Trumper.
        I’m European. And the US is fucked up in many ways.

      I’m reading posts as yours thankful to still find some people with common sense. I lost friends to covid while others kept ranting about nonsensical conspiracy theories and proudly rebelling. One of the dumbest shit I’ve heard people say is “Why should I wear a mask for covid if I don’t wear one for flu?”. Well, if you actually gave a damn about anyone’s wellbeing you’d wear a mask for BOTH.
