    Bold of you to think there would be…

    • Lockdowns
    • Work from home
    • Vaccines
    • Any published stories about the resurgence of COVID instead of vague, “respiratory illness” reports sprinkled about

      I believe they meant another pandemic the likes of COVID. The world would most definitely care. The news have been quite loud about the monkey pox recently for instance.

      COVID itself? Yeah people don’t care anymore. If you actively look for the information, you’ll find out about new strains and all, but the general public just… isn’t interested in that anymore? It’s certainly not talked about anymore.

      Seeing how quickly people went to completely forget about COVID, as well as looking back at how people behaved during the pandemic, I’m convinced that a slightly more deadly virus would’ve wiped humanity.
