The entire political establishment is in agreement on the need to enforce the pro-corporate policy of “forever COVID,” in which the working class and broad layers of society as a whole are condemned to unending waves of mass infection, death and debilitation with Long COVID.
Eh, shifts on the stock market and pretty random political moments make the news all the time. Not to mention the weather and sports.
A little, “hey, contagions are about at the moment, if you’re vulnerable or just not keen, act accordingly” wouldn’t be misplaced at all.
Bottom line is we have a cultural problem with general illness. Something something capitalism something something.
