I’m not sure any length of time would shift the population towards effective treatments, and dragging this out would mean endless harm to children, dehumanization, phobia, missed healthcare screenings, further suppressed immune systems, and endless harm from our reaction. Ultimately if we had engaged in targeted protection once the vulnerable population was evident this would have burned itself out. I’m not happy about the thought of more deaths, phobia, and hysteria. I obviously hope I’m not an outlier that gets very ill. I hope my husband isn’t. I’m nervous for my parents and community and everyone. But authoritarianism is far more lethal than this virus. It needs to end and this may be the way. I can’t imagine continued mass support for mandatory vaccines which for many, if not most, are more detrimental to health and life expectancy than recovery (assuming it’s not carrying unknowable long term consequences), if a bunch of vaccinated and vaccinated plus people get sick. I’m still not seeing a million deaths here by March, but I am very concerned about an actually crushed healthcare system. Maybe they’ll hire back some of those already immune people they fired. This was a human created disaster…….. to think it could end without pain is unlikely, but hopefully it ends without tyrants retaining power

The counterattack is underway, they took down Trump but he was underwhelming. Meanwhile, a very effective governor in Florida almost has more impact because he built a blueprint on what other clueless GOP governors could do so as to not get sucked into DC’s orbit, and it’s clearly working.

Yes, but if we don’t expand that footprint there is unlikely to be another DeSantis……. Honestly, I rotate between wokeism being dead. It’s mostly people my age to a decade older (I’m 39). I can’t imagine kids buying this crap after what has been done to them.

Then again, nearly half the country wants to force every human body into a big pharma subscription plan that doesn’t do anything to slow or stop any virus but does force compliance despite a terrible side effect profile. 💔🤷‍♀️
