The COVID-19 pandemic

It's still killing people, but we cannot live in a public health emergency in perpetuity. It has just as drastic impacts on things as the disease itself does. It was inevitable that we'd have to declare an end to this. The #bringbackmasks crowd is free to keep wearing 2 cent Chinese face masks and ill-fitted N95s as long as they wish and get a million booster shots. But it's clear the majority don't care anymore. Even in hospitals, half the staff don't bother anymore unless they're directly caring for a patient.
