   For all the fear and hatred supporters of the U.S. Dems have for the G.O.P., they don't seem too fussed that BOTH the Dems and the Republicans are happily lying that the pandemic is over. #CovidIsNotOver #covid #COVIDisAirborne #uspolitics

     Consider also that lockdowns and restrictions have secondary effects that are equally unethical. Recall that people couldn't access their oncologist because of the restrictions in place.

     @freemo @VeeRat there is so much more to do. Look into it. Passivity is not ethical in this situation.

     @Geoffberner @freemo The problem with this line of thinking is that heart disease isn’t contagious. I can go to public places like my doctor’s office and sit in the waiting room next to someone who has heart disease with no worries. I can no longer go anywhere, including necessary medical appointments, without worrying about catching something that is the third leading cause of death. And #covid continues to mutate. Not to mention no cure for #LongCovid which now affects millions.

     @Geoffberner ITs not over, it will never be over, just as H1N1 isnt over and never will be.. At this point its just a disease that is part of life, it is what it is. Lets hope one day we have better treatments and diseases, but it doesnt really need to be the focus or the spotlight anymore.

     The way I see it COVID is the third leading causeof death, meaning other more common causes of death, like heart disease is a good indication.. In a balanced world we would hear about COVID less often, than people wanr us about heart disease.. meaning yea, we should talk about it, but it really is time to take it out of the spotlight to the extent that it was,.

     And to that point, I don't have the tools to measure or enough data to make a decision about which choice would do the least harm. The fact that there are people who have to make this choice is disturbing.

     More imoortantly lockdowns simply arent a tool effective for eliminating viruses all together. They were the rigbt choice when hospitals didnt bave the capacity to handle the sick, but thry arent a tool that is helpful beyobd that.

     @feld @freemo @Geoffberner @VeeRat this is why an actor in my country, who got check ups yearly, couldnt get them during the lockdowns and when he could he got the news that he had pretty bad cancer
