This is whataboutism! The US is just killing people via COVID to distract everyone from Will Smith slapping a dude. /s
No? Putin cured covid like a month ago bruh
What’s weird is that Will Smith and Chris Rock were the ones to somehow end the Russia-Ukraine war
A zany comedy duo who got over their differences and beat up Putin

It’s time to go back to work and consumption everyone, the economy and billionaires are hurting and Ukraine is The Current Thing ™ so no more pandemic.
Not to say I don’t take this seriously, I really do, but I also see where the sceptical people are coming from. Not the out there “plandemic” conspiracy theorists but the people sort of in the middle. So many people don’t have the dialectical tools to really see what’s happening. The only response left is scepticism and confusion.
I’m not weirded out about it. I totally expected it. We in the US are full on “letting it rip” from now on until our government is capitulated.
It’s been surreal watching the country just collectively shrug about covid. A lot of my friends and family stopped giving a shit about it and are now in “oh well. If I get it, I get it” mode. I’ve had multiple people tell me some variation of “you can’t live your life in fear” because I was wearing a mask lol. I feel like I’m going crazy
Straight up. During Omicron, my university president had an emergency zoom call to the students and one bit of advice (besides the handwashing and six feet apart stuff) was “to put your mask on between bites”. That about summed it up for me. A money racket as big as a University during the fastest spreading virus the world had ever seen (i think omicron won that title) and 2000+ deaths a day in “the richest country in the world” could only help me by telling me to put my fucking mask on between bites.
The other weird aspect about it is that people have politicized it to the point where they are reaching for their guns in response to covid measures.
Capitalism’s follower is death
I’m weirded out by it, but not surprised.
Once Biden got elected half the country’s voters went to sleep again, and the other half are just contrarian reactionaries. Liberal Democrats decided Trumps one year of mismanagement was 100% the reason Biden couldn’t get it under control. Despite there being more deaths and a vaccine available under the Biden Regime. Despite increasing case loads and deaths, there were no lockdowns, they began rolling back worker protections, the CDC began backtracking heavily on their recommendations. They basically said “There’s no Federal response” where as Trump said “It’s the responsibility of individual states” Democrats of course were only outraged by one of those statements, and it wasn’t the guy who campaigned on having a federal response to Covid.
Democrats basically proved that the Lockdowns and mandates were politically motivated. Republicans are just going to be contrarian. So despite the fact they should theoretically love Bidens response, they’re just removed about the double standard Democrats are displaying. Which yeah, I mean they’re not wrong, they’re just right for the wrong reasons. Like the lockdowns were harmful to the working class, but the government should’ve done more to alleviate the damage done, not ignore the problem altogether, which is what Republicans wanted.
Due to capitalist interest in wanting to exploit the “Global South’s” inability to research their own vaccine, Biden didn’t remove patent’s for mRNA Vaccine technology. Which would’ve allowed many of the countries where variants are developing from being able to manufacture the vaccine themselves. And that was the last hope of defeating this rapidly mutating virus. But alas, the US and EU fucking blow.
Humans are pretty adaptable and have a short memory of horrible experiences, it’s sorta hardwired in our brains. And yeah, eventually we were going to “Go back to normal” like we did during the 1918 pandemic, and much like that one, a war is distracting most Americans from anything related to it. It’s a fucking farce. Unfortunately I’m immunosuppressed, so even if I choose to wear a mask, the fact no one, not even the supposedly informed “Liberals” are doing the same is basically null. I don’t blame people for just giving up when the government that campaigned on a solid response gave up within the first year.
Gotta say: “herd inmunity” politics is just “übermensch” mentality with extra steps.
Yea, it’s really odd
This is just one person’s account, but my friend is a nurse at the local hospital. They are currently down to only four people with COVID. Two of them were hospitalized for other reasons and then happened to test positive. We’re in a state that is highly vaccinated and was very good about enforcing masks. Even then, the hospital staff was surprised how quickly the cases dropped off starting early this month.
In Spain too. Right now only China and some few other countries are doing anything reassembling reasonability. At least they do it actually good, but this dichotomy abour the virus is fucking insane.
We would have get rid of it years ago by simply comply the mask wearing and the lowering of outside activity to a point we wouldn’t even need a vaccine. But noooo, “muh freedumb!” comes before the life of others and even oneselves…
isnt 38,000 really low for the US? The UK had 200,000 per day in January
That was how much we had when we re-added the mask mandate in august of 2021
