Well maybe you should've thought of that before, when you decided it was good for "the economy" to manufacture denial about a highly infectious disabling illness!
("You" in this context being politicians, media, billionaires etc)

Liked this quote:
"reconsidering the idea that COVID is not only still here, but actively still dangerous, is a lot to ask when the alternative is the comfort of denial"
"a lot to ask when the alternative is the comfort of denial"
Nice mix of compassionate and pointy, on a key element of how I think the dynamic plays out.
There's a wise educator I know, who uses the expression "a heavy lift" to describe learning new ideas with big implications. I'm reminded of that.

Another stonker of a post from Julia Doubleday, who I'd say is possibly the leading writer of our time on the social aspects of covid & how we deal with it.
"The danger of COVID is its inherent danger, yes, but it’s also its relentlessness. It’s that when you get away with your 5th infection it’s coming right back for you a 6th time. A 6th time in year 6? And you’re a 6-year-old child?"
"What interests me about the “the lion does not concern himself” meme is the cracks it puts in the central fiction of the lies being told about Long COVID since 2022."

NHS in trouble this winter.
I keep thinking what a stonker of a false economy it is for the NHS to go "la la la, doesn't matter" about everyday covid infections.
Like has it not occurred to you that you're making more people ill? some of whom you then have to look after, some of whom are your staff who will then be unavailable?
How about some air filters in waiting rooms at least?

I feel that my snarky song about the government deserves to be re-upped in the light of the above news article:
"Landlords' money took a sizeable dent
So back to the office for the office rent
It's the favour of your backers at stake
Our health is a sacrifice you're happy to make"
