It is Demoralising How Little We Learned from Covid

It is back to business as usual for most of them. A rant.

Yesterday I had to visit my doctor for the first time in years. I injured my ribs while working in the garden, it hurts like having a knife stabbed into my chest (all the time), and I needed an x-ray which can’t be done online yet. So I went down there.

I expected other patients and the staff to wear masks, but only a few did. It was optional. Only one waiting patient wore a mask, and most nurses were without. Luckily my doctor wasn’t one of them.

There was one lady in the waiting room with a heavy cough, without a mask.

Since our parliamentary elections were less than two months ago, removing Covid mandates was something both sides have promised. And sadly delivered too.

But never mind that. After two years of shitfuckery they called governance, I don’t expect anything better from them. What I’m more disappointed about (again and again) is the people themselves. You know, us!

For us, removing mandates is just an excuse for officially not giving a fuck. If the virus starts spreading again, it is not our fault, is it?

One would expect people to learn some lessons, right? Like the fact that there are our lives on…
