The disconnect is absolute. Dissociation, dislocation of logic. Obtuseness and obfuscation are rampant.
If you want to avoid getting covid, do wear a respirator. More so if you are a HCW, as you should know about airborne transmission.
Nurse: Are you sick, or do you just like wearing the mask?
Me: Well, COVID is still active
Nurse: I know! I just got it, it was horrible. And I caught it here!

On vit dans ce monde où on déplore de pas pouvoir ventiler les parfums d’ambiance dans les lieux partagés, mais aucun problème pour respirer des pathogènes qui handicapent et tuent sans limite. En option eucalyptus violette, ce serait moins commode de laisser ses enfants condamner leur santé.

dans le timeline des medias il est connu qu'il ne faut présenter qu'un ou deux faits majeurs en même temps et qu'il faut présenter ce qui fait couler le plus d'encre/vendre le plus en premier.
✍️ «Le Covid ne revient pas. Il a toujours été là, simplement tout est fait pour qu’on n’y pense plus, qu’on n’en parle pas, qu’on ne le voie pas. On n’en parle pas dans la majorité des médias parce qu’une catastrophe à la fois, ça suffit.»
