COVID is still killing 1 person every 4 minutes globally. Just because leaders are no longer calling COVID an emergency, doesn't mean COVID is over. #COVID has transformed into a long-term permanent threat.

@luckytran And perhaps the worst is... we don't know what the worst is.

No testing, no reporting. We can't even make informed decisions, because they've just capitulated.

@luckytran I have been touched exactly 5X in 3 years. 4 shots and one dentist. Fortunately I never liked yall much anyway. I just wish my cats got my jokes. Loving it here yall my new fam! but no I will not help you move. #covid is not over #covidcloister syndrome
@luckytran Yeah. I've always joked about how the higher ups (in both work and government) essentially said "Alright, pandemic's over, get back to work slackers." I think the news cycle (which rapidly shifts from topic to topic so that people get disoriented) is partially to blame for this.
@luckytran Wow! That's a shocking number of deaths that are never talked about. We chose to allow rich people to make money over keeping people healthy.
