Now is the worst of the pandemic because we are doing none of those things and just allowing reinfection after reinfection.
Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

Someone said it’s unethical to restrict the movements of elderly people when there is a covid outbreak in a nursing home.
Doesn’t feel too ethical to me to have low vaccination rates, no air quality improvement, and just spread diseases either though.
Seems kinda evil.
