Remember, if there is a wave AFTER the holidays, it's because you didn't spread ENOUGH virus DURING the holidays and thus your immunity debt needed repaying
That wave should, though, mean we are protected at Easter
Now, remember, if there is a wave AFTER Easter it's because...
🤡
How are the epis and other "immunity debt experts" even spouting off about this new concept before they explain why we didn't get the herd immunity they promised? 🙃
From a virus with an R0 more than at least 6 to start, and with waning immunity, I really wanted to know, too 🙃

It has almost been three years to our COVIDversary (Happy early COVIDversary BTW!).
Has anyone elaborated on when this virus mutates into a cold?
Any dates I should mark in my calendar? 🙃

After 3 years has the novelty not yet worn off so the severity will too?
Remember for this virus (but not measles or HIV or Ebola) novelty=severity.
I would have thought 3 years was enough but maybe we need 300?
What useful comments out of the "experts"! 🙃

Possibly, just possibly, this virus is a real problem?
Nah can't be that, because then we'd have a real problem on our hands 🤡

Peasant 1: Tragic so many of us die of cholera
Leader 2: 'tis God's will. Nothing to be done
1: Well, we could clean the water?
2: Verily, nay. Cholera is inevitable and God's design
1: Not sure thats true. Pretty defeatist. I was thinking chlorine
2: Shush, fear mongerer!

I feel like we had one great revolution when we accepted that the Earth orbits the Sun and we were NOT the center of the universe
And maybe we're in the middle of another great revolution wherein we might finally accept that viruses are NOT here to be "old friends" with us

(theory in the 1900s and early 20th century, debated in mid 20th century, then tossed late 20th, although resurrected for COVID)
But in all likelihood we're not changing and we'll go right back to being idiots tomorrow.

I can't wait to see all the stories of pro-COVID (Vichy COVID?) epis getting together in large groups to pay their immunity debt.
They'll live by their words, right? Surely?
And don't call me Shirley.

@wndlb I am not, so off I go to Google :)
It sounds familiar, but I can't place it.
Probably correct. Added obvious sign :)
Better to be safe not sorry, although that's not really the spirit of this pandemic ... :)
