Nobody seems to care anymore – the pandemic is “over”, apparently.
No need for [high-quality N95 masks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAdanPfQdCA) on public transport, or in hospitals. No need for a national program of improved ventilation in schools. We can all just cough and sneeze over each other and it’s “just a cold”. Long Covid doesn’t cause chronic/long-term health issues affecting the brain and cardiovascular system, *even if you’re vaccinated* – that’s just “scaremongering” by woke scientists.
The latest variants are more likely to infect the lungs, and our immunity from earlier vaccinations is waning – but those things don’t matter either, apparently. Everything is fine. And whenever I bring up these perfectly legitimate concerns, I’m downvoted to oblivion.
Seems like everyone around me who missed it for the last few years is now infected. Really ill but not hospitalised. One guy seems to be suffering pretty badly.
Actually if you read the article they are actually declining now however these stats are 3 weeks out of date but anything to generate headlines and get people panicking
It’s endemic- we didn’t think this was going away, just that it was something we could cope with.
At the height of the pandemic we had 1,200 deaths a day despite massive societal sacrifices, we aren’t there and I don’t see any reason to think we are going back to it.
I think I’ve got it now (2nd time). Lost my taste yesterday and overall I feel horrible. It feels so much worse then when I had it before during first Omicron wave. But somehow all three tests I’ve done were negative. Very strange.

Centuarus, I suspect.
Jab! 5 incoming…
