We now know that lockdowns, masks, school closures, and even vaccines basically did nothing to stop the spread or severity of Covid.
The fanatics proceed as if masks work, that you can identify when and from whom you were infected with Covid, that younger people are at serious risk of the disease, or that Covid somehow has gotten worse.
Trying to stop people from ever getting sick with Covid is a fool's errand.
In similar fashion to the millions who have died of viral and bacteriological pneumonia over the years, Covid can still lead to the death of vulnerable, elderly people.
The moralistic language surrounding Covid is presumptuous and out of kilter with the rest of science and medicine, as if diseases simply disappear if we all just show them sufficient respect and "Did the right things." Is this true of any other disease, respiratory or otherwise? Do these people know that animals incubate covid? Are we going to make dogs and cats and deer and squirrels wear masks too?
From my conversations with others, Covid is not on most people's minds, unless they are extremely neurotic.
The rise of public masking and the persistence of Covid fanatics on social media is disconcerting.
