There's no point in being scared, but I do keep an eye on the news about it.
I wouldn't mind a lock down happening again. Of course it's bad if people start dying and shit, but the disruption of the daily grind is much needed for society as a whole.
I'm honestly disappointed with how little changed after the last pandemic. People really ought to take some time reflecting on it instead of immediately returning to the old bad habits.
To be fair, a lot of the problems returning were because of the rich disconnected fucks, as usual.
For example, the return to office mandates. Serve no purpose but to bolster commercial real estate so executives around the world wouldn't lose out on their many years long office rental contracts.
As soon as people actually realize the core problem is greed and capitalism is only institutionalized greed, then the world might actually start changing for the better.
Until everyone who isn't rich stops acting like a temporarily embarrassed millionaire, this world is totally fucked with or without a pandemic.
