For me, a new phase of the pandemic began in May ’22, when I took more serious notice of troubling scientific studies that weren’t being reported by the media. It then dawned on me, like in a horror movie, that the government was going to simply nope out of COVID—& that everyone would follow suit.
Some say
this pandemic began
on November 30, 2019
as that was the day
of the first confirmed Covid case.
And some say
this pandemic began
on March 11, 2020
as that was the day
of the WHO’s pandemic declaration.
But I think all would say
this pandemic
has lasted far too long.
