not funny or true

Putin wagged the dog for everyone, whether he meant to or not.

You have to admit Socks, if you had been right about the pandemic, it wouldn't be a sudden "Oh, you don't need to wear masks or do anything anymore and let's forget the whole thing." That's what people do when they're wrong and they don't want the attention on them being wrong.

Hilarious seeing people trying to still Covid virtue signal on social media only to be mocked.

Two unrelated issues, Mittens. If you support what Putin's doing - or even assume that COVID is somehow related to his actions - I'll question your sanity (and you're perhaps the sanest person on Saidit).

I believe the intent of this post is that the fear mongering over the coof has magically stopped due to a foreign war, despite the coof situation not having changed. All you do is argue in bad faith though so I'm sure you understood that already

This makes no sense ("fear mongering over the coof has magically stopped" ...wtf). And it's really juvenile and obviously lacking in confidence to refer to someone you disagree with as arguing in bad faith.

You didn't notice nobody gives a shit about covid anymore?

You know that whatever the news media considers newsworthy is not always reflective of the concerns of many people.

Because people have increasing immunity and are less affected by weaker strains like omicron, there isn't as much popular interest in this 2-year old story. It's not really 'news'.

But: people DO give a shit about COVID. Masks are still requested in many places; parents are encouraged to vaccinate their kids, and there are sill thousands of new cases and deaths. To see the updates go to: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Not that I support Putin (he, too, is an alumni of the WEF), I just want to point out the question you raise:

First you said that whatever is on the news is not always reflective of many people's concern.

Then you said the reason why something is not on the news precisely is because not many people are concerned about it.

Pray, tell, why does anything appear on the news? Are they the fourth estate or just propagandists/advertisers?

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The short explanation is:

1) COVID is still a concern.

2) If it's not in the news lately that's because it's a 2 year old continuing pandemic that's no longer considered as newsworthy as Ukraine attrocities

3) One can read about the people directly affected by COVID on a daily basis by reading the stats at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus

4) Re: news - there are numerous resources available for us to assess, including videos from Ukraine, the EU Parliament &c...

Hope this explains my point

Masks are still requested in many places

Where America leads the world follows. Covid is over. D3 called it. You have spent 2 years arguing for something that was totally pointless.

Ah, whatever, I don't need to see you eat humble pie.

And consider that immunity developed with the help of billions of vaccine doses.

mic drop

Uh huh, except we didn't manage to distribute the vaccine worldwide, and it didn't end up making a difference. People in high population densities were more affected regardless of vaccination status.

As I said, I don't need to see you eat a big ole slice of humble pie, but you should. Bunch of people you thought were crazed idiots ended up being right.
