That doesn’t mean anything! That’s not a thing! That has no basis in material reality!
If people are still getting infected all over the world all year, it’s still a pandemic!
I like when people were pretending they cared in the beginning but then would give excuses for doing stuff. “Normally, we’re very careful, but you know it was our anniversary…” like covid is over in the corner writing them a hall pass the for evening or something.
Me, during the Blitz, refusing to take my family to the bomb shelters because I’m just so done with the war
Me, getting my limbs blown off: “I’m so glad we can get Applebee’s in person again”
Are you sure they don’t just mean that we are no longer acting like there is a pandemic?
Our social attitudes about the pandemic are certainly different than they were in 2020.
Yes, but saying that in response to someone asking for masks to return in healthcare settings is still something I hate. It doesn’t mean anything. It isn’t helpful. It’s never someone who agrees those precautions should be brought back.
I work in a healthcare setting, and we never dropped masks. All care givers, and all patients are masked. The boss actually studied microbiology. Turns out influenza, RSV, and corona virus are all active, still.
In hidnsight, how healthcare professionals weren’t masked all the time before covid is bonkers to me.
