Yeah, it's *almost* like much of the west bumblingly botched its handling of COVID early on and is scrambling to normalize mass death and further mishandling by pretending we're almost done with COVID... till the numbers surge again, hospitals fail, & back to lockdown.

Meanwhile, COVID apparently inflicts "sustained cognitive dysfunction" on 25% of everyone infected. @AmyTanMD/1484578774880428037 But hey, a few months' make-believe that we're *almost* out of the woods is worth a potentially society-wide mass-debilitation event, right? 🙄

Then we get to watch a mass trip down the rhetorical waterslide from "We'll all catch it, it's inevitable, it's just a cold," to "euthanasia for Long COVID is a mercy" to "longhaulers are useless eaters."

Oh, and... life is also carrying on here in Korea too. Most have the sense to prefer caution and inconvenience to just shrugging and letting countless folks die/suffer as yet poorly understood sequelae. So, like: life carries on here too... with far less death & sickness.
