For all the fear and hatred supporters of the U.S. Dems have for the G.O.P., they don't seem too fussed that BOTH the Dems and the Republicans are happily lying that the pandemic is over. #CovidIsNotOver #covid #COVIDisAirborne #uspolitics

@Geoffberner ITs not over, it will never be over, just as H1N1 isnt over and never will be.. At this point its just a disease that is part of life, it is what it is. Lets hope one day we have better treatments and diseases, but it doesnt really need to be the focus or the spotlight anymore.
The way I see it COVID is the third leading causeof death, meaning other more common causes of death, like heart disease is a good indication.. In a balanced world we would hear about COVID less often, than people wanr us about heart disease.. meaning yea, we should talk about it, but it really is time to take it out of the spotlight to the extent that it was,.
Off in the weeds
@freemo @Geoffberner ranking cause of death like that is fuzzy, of course, but I think even so it is hard to do it in a way where covid is 3rd. It's probably at the rate of like 100k/year right now in the US? So not just behind the big 2 (cancer, CVD) but also behind accidents, alzheimers, stroke, etc.
