@ben @maximum_mew The pandemic will never be over.

There was never any Pandemic except fear...and FASCISM!

@ben A surprising number of people have the wrong mental framework for COVID. They think that it was a problem that lasted for a year or two and now has gone away. They use phrases like "during the pandemic" in the past tense without recognizing that many people around them are still getting it and some are ending up in the hospital. It is still out there waiting to pounce on anyone, especially the unvaccinated.
