        No, but it’s not what it was before it mutated down. Body bagging people weekly due to COVID is no longer an expectation in hospitals. Losing perfectly healthy, clean living, athletic people to COVID is no longer a thing either.

        However, we still don’t know the full impact of long COVID, or long COVID in the latest strains. Given the neurological aspects thus far, the brain fog, the memory issues, I would not be surprised if we find it contributes to dementia or some such. We will have to wait for the data, granted, I’m sure most of those studies have been destroyed by the Trump admin.

      I didn’t vote but it does seem a bit dramatic to talk about “saving us”. Tbh same for labeling eveyone as “heroes”. I feel like the heart is in the right place a lot to of the time to value otherwise devalued jobs but it goes hard in the other direction

        Heroes may be dramatic, yes, but consider the context. Hero is a role in which there is more expectation of death. Another way to see it is corporate’s way of easing the perception around deaths of people working with people during COVID.
