“normal” except a new, relatively easily preventable longterm immune disorder is going around, causing different kinds of organ failure, reduced mental capacity, chronic fatigue. even the mostly useless WHO still classifies it as a pandemic, plutocrats still mask and test - governments that have given up caring about it are not doing right by the working class.
They’re under immense pressure to stop masking and testing, both externally from countries demanding they open up their economies and internally from citizens who have been tricked by the rest of the world into thinking COVID isn’t dangerous after vaccination.
I’m sympathetic towards the inability to continue, it just shows that they aren’t yet strong enough to totally defy the market forever.
On the bright side, at least when bird flu spreads from milk drinkers in the US they’ll be ready to go right back into lockdown.
AES governments are actually democracies, for better and for worse. See, the USSR liberalizing their economy in the late Soviet period, largely due to public pressure.
it shakes my faith in AES governments that all these places seem to have given up on mask mandates, testing, and air quality 😢
Vaccines have been produced and improved. People could not take the lockdowns anymore. So things returned to normal.
