@luckytran This is just the monetary cost.

You can't put a pricetag on the permanent damage to people's livelihoods, or, for that matter, the lives of those who do die.

We're all just supposed to accept society insisting on putting us in a situation that is dooming every living person to eventually developing long covid symptoms, some of which are very very debilitating. It's all preventable, but that would hurt profit margins for the rich, so we all must take permanent damage.
