Can we talk about pandemics for a second? Can we talk about how badly managed the early stages of the next pandemic are in the US and with a significantly higher fatality rate than covid, a lot of people could die? Like potentially half?

Can we talk about how politicised population health management has become because profits? Can we talk about how the economy needs people to exist, and if half of all people die in a pandemic, then there is no economy? Can we talk about how "the pandemic is over" is a lie?

Can we talk about mass disabling events and the impact that has on society? Can we talk about the lies regarding children's experience of covid? Can we talk about how relatively inexpensive mitigation (air purifiers, masking, etc) have been demonised?

Can we talk about how big corporations blocked cheap vaccines in poor nations? Can we talk about how covid is now "just like the flu?" Can we talk about how the flu is actually a very serious virus? Can we talk about chronic fatigue/post-viral syndrome/long covid have been poorly managed forever?

Can we keep talking about all of this? Can we lobby our politicians, health leaders and the like and get them to take this seriously? Can we have as much health as possible and not have it taken away from us by a disease that could be better managed societally?
