The entire political establishment is in agreement on the need to enforce the pro-corporate policy of “forever COVID,” in which the working class and broad layers of society as a whole are condemned to unending waves of mass infection, death and debilitation with Long COVID.

    They’re silent because nobody, except for a handful of terminally online pandemic cosplayers care about it anymore, the rest of us have been living our lives normally for ~4 years now, despite your best efforts to drag us and the economy down by keeping us in pandemic mode for eternity.

      Yeah, I wish they’d stop talking about cancer because nobody, except for a handful of terminally online chemotherapy cosplayers care about it anymore, the rest of us have been living our lives normally for ~4 years now, despite your best efforts to drag us and the economy down by keeping us in cancer fearing mode for eternity.

          Yeah definitely not. Language evolves, and words can have several different meanings. It’s clear, from context, which definition I was using.

        Actually all my friends and relatives are still alive, including my grandparents, and one them is 99 years old even. None of them even had to go to the doctor for Covid. Even my boss who was dying of stage 4 cancer survived getting Covid.
