@detachedspork I fear this. I also fear that all of the #UrgencyofNormal and #Antivaxxers will say, "I told you that you shouldn't have gotten that vaccine." And it will be infuriating to know those who contributed the most to this will blame behaviours that could have stopped this disease.

Thanking and grateful to a covid safe friend who warned me out of an unsafe situation #UrgencyOfNormal #CovidIsNotOver
Apparently life insurance companies won't insure someone within 60-90 days of a #SarsCoV2 infection. It's almost like they know something most people don't. #UrgencyOfNormal #lifeinsurance

In your article about #CDC meeting => #Covid cases, @Ddiamond, I take it #masks were not the norm at this conference? Were #HEPA units in use? Any idea about ventilation?
Another reason not to push people back to work in person.

What is with the #CDC and #UrgencyOfNormal?

@HeavenlyPossum One could even go as far as accusing current TV shows of (somewhat clumsily) trying to convince us to go back to #UrgencyOfNormal / #FakeNormalität

#gaslighting #CoVIDIsNotOver #DieMaskeBleibtAuf

A subtle form of #gaslighting during the ongoing #pandemic is that #SocialMedia obscures the fact that people who have embraced the #UrgencyOfNormal fallacy are not *actually* having more fun than those of us who know #CovidIsNotOver.

I have to remind myself that their lives are not “better” than mine, especially because they are most likely getting sick after eating out and vacationing and going to parties #maskless.

But it can be hard to remember when all you see are the photos.

Here's an interesting review of the impact of #SarsCoV2 on our immune system. It details a lot of scary points (which are mentioned on my website) then much more vaguely waves away the concerns. I don't know how "fair and balanced" that result is, but at least it tries in mainstream media, which is a new trend instead of simply parroting the #UrgencyOfNormal.

What Is COVID Actually Doing to Our Immune Systems?

The research sounds scary—but it’s complicated.

In case this is not clear to you yet, the West can only afford its #CovidIsEverywhere #covid19 rich, #urgencyofnormal lifestyle, only as long as China continues its #zerocovid one. Telling that Francois Balloux is not exactly thrilled about China leaving zerocovid behind ?

‘Back to Normal’ Is Bringing a COVID Crisis for Children | The Tyee

The group Urgency of Normal published a National Post article that misinforms, denying grave risks from lax school protections.
