Well, we did it. Didn't we? It's now August of 2021. What's taking so long? Helloooo... ? When will we be released from home detention, when will we be able to live our lives again? Never? Is this the "new normal" now? Are these stupid questions?

Wait... "months"?
In March of 2020 I was told, " Two weeks to flatten the curve." This is the longest two weeks of my life! The two weeks turned into, "We need to get the ERs ready." Then the vaccine, then they want 100% of population vaccinated, now a third shot and a new "variant". I don't see an end to these "two weeks".
Rather than doing what is logically the best way to protect ourselves and our neighbors some turned it into a backwards-ass fear-mongering don't-tread-on-me political movement to avoid masks and vaccines. This is why we have an fucking new more effective VIRUS and why we will have more variants. Because the far-right are the incubators of the new pandemic and the cause of every bad thing happening now.
You did not flatten the curve. Also you have failed to act swiftly and decisively so something that could have been a few months of inconvenience has turned into something that might take years to solve IF you even manage to solve it. I am not sure what sort of childhood you grew up in but you do not get rewards for failing.
We have been losing freedoms since the 1800s. Governments never give back freedoms. They continue to take away more freedoms until your only choice is to obey or die. If you believe living under Hitler was bad, wait 20 years and it will be that bad or even worse here.

Since 50% of Americans are of the knucklehead variety, we are back where we started from in my dumb land. Thanks, Trumptarded anti-vaxxers! Perhaps one day you will learn what the "Golden Rule" means.
The reason it’s taken so long is that people didn’t apply those protective measures. So, now that it’s getting better, we cannot just throw away all that hard work until we have an effective solution/it’s been eradicated
Well with all the delta stuff going on and the nation divided between vaxxed and unvaxxed I genuinely don’t see this ending any time soon. At least not this year.
@Lyubyets The common cold is a collection of around 200 different viruses of different types including corona viruses. Not sure why this matters since corona viruses are a major viral family, it is equivalent to the hominids or "great ape" family humans are part of.
In other words one coronavirus is about as similar to another as a human is to an orangutan.
Also just as how we are quite efficiently pushing our fellow cousin species into extinction so too can we kill of Covid19 if we actually tried.
@Lyubyets There is no reason to assume that Covid19 kills "weak" people and even if it was we have nothing to gain from killing "weak" people in the first place. Pretty sure that you would consider Steven Hawking as "weak" but at the same time there are few people who has benefited humanity as much as him.
@Lyubyets No, I am quite serious here. The whole idea of "The strong survive" is false. The further you push a population to an extreme such as "strength" the weaker it becomes to changes in its environment.
When a species thrives it does not push for more "strength" but for more diversity, even if it might be less optimal because you never know what might be required in the future. You would do well to look up the history of the Banana and see why the "perfect" fruit is almost going extinct.
@Lyubyets Wow.. "How does a car get destroyed?".. I mean.. do I have to go through every way you can destroy a car such as throwing a cider block through the window, slashing the tires, setting it on fire, cutting the fuel line, putting it into a car compactor etc? The way a virus can kill you is pretty much endless. If you want some examples then sure.
EBOLA for example makes you internally bleed to death. Rabies inflames and disrupts your brain to the point where you die. Rotavirus causes severe diarrhea and kills you mainly from dehydration.
Viruses are not weapons designed to kill you, it is just that they are compatible with your body and can often interfere with the normal functions that keeps you alive which by extension, kills you. a lot of the time the killer is even your own body such as with fevers and inflammations.
Glad to see someone waking up to what’s going on. It seems the only way to get it back is to fight for it, whatever “fight” means will depend on what the context is down the road. While we’re at it, let’s remove some other “temporary” changes that the government put in like income tax (all the way from 1913) and the Patriot act.
Next it will be we can go mask less after everyone gets their booster shots!
They will keep printing money until it isn’t worth the paper it is printed on just to keep the upper hand.
Why do you think we haven't seen any "bell curves" lately?
Having the sheeple get THAT info would blow the whole charade!
They reserve the right to lie to you and change their statements at will, even when they contradict themselves
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Not yet we are not out of the woods yet.
People are waking up
