If it means more lockdowns and more restrictions, more government powers; absolutely normalize COVID. We have given up enough.

Just because our economy cannot withstand further lockdowns and restrictions doesn't mean that the normalization of COVID is any more excusable. It just means we failed.

It has nothing to do with the economy. Humans are social creatures. You can pay me $100,000/mo to sit in my house indefinitely and I can almost guarantee you it'll end in depression and suicide.

To take this to extreme: We’ve failed to solve deaths. We should have solutions to aging and indefinite life.

Since we have 100% death ratio, show us your health history along with your verifiable ID. We are the ministry of Truth and Safety.

In all seriousness: We need to push back on robbing of civil liberties. No one cared to check for flu vaccine. It should be the same for COVID now that it’s getting weaker and it won’t end forever.
