"The problem is stark: we have unmitigated transmission of a deadly and
disabling virus, in all public spaces, with zero plan to bring it under
control.
We’re seeing millions of infections in each wave, and multiple waves a year; an
unsustainable health burden on an already strained healthcare system.
We’ve got a student absence crisis, record worker sick days, rapidly rising
disability, and the expulsion of high-risk people from public spaces.
And unfortunately, we have a public that is largely uneducated about and
unaware of the problem, thanks to the tireless efforts of our political leaders
and corporate media outlets who pushed for a “new normal” of forever COVID
reinfections.
The first hurdle is making people aware of the problem. But beyond that, a
second hurdle; often, once the risks of recurrent COVID infections are
conveyed, the next objection is: but what can we do about it anyway? Surely you
don’t want a permanent forever lockdown?
Well, I don’t. So what, in my wildest dreams, would competent public health
bodies be doing to mitigate transmission of COVID, even years into a botched
response with millions of people negatively polarized against collective
measures?"
