Thinking about December 2021, when businesses and entertainment venues were trying to reopen fully as Omicron exploded and mouthpieces were going on about “oh Covid is mild now” and the general public nodded in “it’s never going away, we have to accept that everyone’s going to catch it, learn to live with the virus” and how it was the largest steaming load of bullshit and it is infinitely embarrassing how many people capitulated to spreading a novel virus for the illusion of normalcy.

Oh, look, the Toronto Star has an article about Long Covid. I see you subtly past-tensing Covid and Long Covid by referring to data from 2023 in the current year of 2025, ignoring the true fact that people are still developing Long Covid and post-infection complications until one quote at the very end of the article.

It is 2025. Covid went worldwide in 2020. Covid is kindergarten age. Saying “Every time I’ve gotten Covid” is not a normal thing to say about something that’s only been around half of a decade. Try doing the stuff that reduces your risks of catching Covid. Make that stuff part of your everyday routine. Live life so that you can say “the last time I got Covid was when it was kindergarten age” when Covid is old enough to drive or vote or apply for pensions.

It would just be super helpful if the medical profession could release a list of viruses and diseases that are socially acceptable to protect oneself against. Also, a list of viruses and diseases they’re going to attack patients’ mental wellbeing over if it’s even mentioned would also be useful.

Them: “You don’t need to wear a mask anymore.” Me: “You don’t need to get up in a stranger’s business, and yet you’re doing it.”
