[quote=Anonymous]The thing is with every victory we've had with covid, some people only see what they aren't allowed to do. They don't see the victory because they lack the capacity to understand that victory over a pandemic equals some people not being exposed and not getting sick.

Instead they just see their lack of manicures and how inconvenient it was having Larlo at home when they were doing their important brand marketing for a K-street firm job.

Their lack of exposure to actual suffering, coupled with their normal lack of empathy has now led these same people to think a scorched earth playbook is the way to go. "No one has died of omicron," they declare, ignoring the fact that covid usually takes three weeks (at least) to kill and we haven't been sequencing covid cases for omicron longer than that. In truth, people are dying of covid every day. More and more each day again. The raw cases numbers are higher than they've ever been. And that's not the sign of some magical version that isn't harmful. What that will mean in six months is something we can only guess. But when epidemiologists are alarmed, when they buy a farm out in the mountains and start raiding goats and investing in an off the grid system like my brother... Well. Some of us wonder if that's more than the typical North Carolina crazy. But ymmv. Most of you don't have an epidemiologist in the family.

May the odds be ever in your favor, k-holes. [/quote]
