All this death and long-term illness and disability so selfish assholes could feel less inconvenienced during their Disney vacations and sit-in restaurant slop troughs. All of it.

Always blows my mind that people act like covid is no big deal. Still masking in public, doing everything I can to avoid catching it. Caught it after 3 years when my mom brought it into the home. Didn't realize I had it till the long covid symptom hit: I can't eat without having to cough. That's the best way I can describe it. It's annoying on the best days and causes vomiting on the worst (the amount of coughing causes the vomiting).
Fuck covid and all of the people acting like it's no big deal. Normal is never coming back for me. I'm just another person fallen through the cracks of a life heavily impacted by covid (and the shit ass US healthcare system to various degrees).
I think i got that kind of long covid in 2020 (horrible painful coughs non stop that caused me to vomit on a couple occasions) it lasted for 7(?) months 5 of which were inside after the lockdown with no contact to anyone (some LC remains but the coughs are gone). I assume it was covid but it would require me getting covid in december 2019 which i cant prove. Good luck with it, it fucking sucks.
You caught the original Fort Detrick strain before it jumped to China
You caught the original Fort Detrick strain
more and more people are realizing this! It's a very big situation!
I was honestly doubtful when I first heard that idea but I fully believe it at this point.
Like what was that “mysterious vaping illness” in 2019 with most of the symptoms of COVID at the same time as respiratory virus outbreaks in nursing homes, which totally disappeared when COVID showed up
I'm right about everything (sorry)
Like what was that “mysterious vaping illness” in 2019
Not just the mystery vape pneumonia and the mystery nursing home pneumonia with the nursing homes being 3 miles away from military bases, but also the 
sewer sample and the disability % severely spiking in early 2019
covid was around in spring 2019

I'm about a year in on the coughs. Rarely I'll have days without it, but yeah. Assume it's long covid but no real way to prove it other than that I'm a shut in who doesn't smoke or anything. Get my shots and all but it only takes one time. Be safe out there.
“I certainly hope that this is not our new normal for COVID,” says Samuel Scarpino, who studies infectious diseases at Northeastern University in Boston. “I had it a few weeks ago, and just about everybody that I know has had it. It would be a real bummer if we’re in this situation where we’ve got COVID [in summer], and then we get into the fall with RSV, and then we have influenza and then it’s basically year-round respiratory infection risk.”
it would be a real 'bummer' of a situation 
something bad is happening around us but you know.. that's just 'the way of the world', we kinda just woke up in this situation and everyone is surprised, how did it get like this, totally caught us off guard
Wouldn't surprise me, either, if more diseases sprout up as global warming gets worse. Mammals aren't the only things that will migrate, viruses and bacteria will as well. Algae blooms in water have caused problems all over the place making water sources drying up even worse. So we'll have year-round respiratory illnesses with stomach illnesses and antibiotic resistant bacteria to go with them as a treat!
"That means, essentially, that COVID is here to stay in predictable ways."
Yes. It will kill tons of people every single year and cook the brains of others, while any future pandemics will be impossible to actually defeat because libs and chuds will point at it and say that trying to actually stop a pandemic from spreading never works. Fuck you capitalism.
