One thing you often hear as an upside from this whole pandemic debacle is that we'll be better prepared for the next pandemic. However, on the flipside, consider that if this thing goes endemic, then our expansive efforts to fight it will look like a failure. In which case, it's possible that people simply won't be willing to put up with strong restrictions next time around. They might wear masks, but they're not going to contain themselves. Especially if the next pandemic also features a virus with a low death rate. Not necessarily because more people believe in conspiracies, but because they don't see the massive changes and sacrifices as 'worth it' if we're going to 'lose' anyway.
sir this is a joke thread about covid-18
Indeed. And your joke has run its course. Now time to bend it towards something else...
