#pandemic anniversary

[tfbsattic]

On this day 4 years ago, the WHO declared the COVID-19 crisis a pandemic. That meant that many spring breaks, quinces, Filipino debuts, weddings, and other events were axed to slow the spread and mitigate death tolls.

But there was hope. Many savvy families used the power of pretend play to compensate for their scuttled trips. Birthday celebrants were greeted with motorcades of cars of their family members, their friends, and their friends’ family members. Those were many glimmers of hope during that trying time.

COVID at 3 Years: Where Are We Headed?

March 15, 2023 – Three years after COVID-19 rocked the world, the pandemic has evolved into a steady state of commonplace infections, less frequent hospitalization and death, and continued anxiety and isolation for older people and those with weakened immune systems. After about 2½ years of requiring masks in health care settings,  the CDC lifted its recommendation for universal, mandatory…

Just so nobody can say this is out of context, here's a vid of the entire interview.

The Obama administration successfully contained the Ebola outbreak in the United States. The death toll for Ebola in the US was under a dozen. So before leaving office, the Obama National Security Council created a 69-page handbook on how to deal with a pandemic. Trump and his flunkies ignored it with disastrous results.

Trump team failed to follow NSC’s pandemic playbook

The US death toll from COVID-19 is in seven digits. Other industrialized countries with advanced technological infrastructure such as Canada, Taiwan, Germany, and New Zealand had lower fatality rates per capita.

Trump largely ignored the virus until well into March when it had a chance to spread across the US.

The missing six weeks: how Trump failed the biggest test of his life The president was aware of the danger from the coronavirus – but a lack of leadership has created an emergency of epic proportions

The Trump administration, at best, was in denial; at worst, it sabotaged the pandemic response.

Trump White House made 'deliberate efforts' to undermine Covid response, report says

Trump zombies who claim the economy was marvelous under Trump conveniently forget about everything that happened after February of 2020. Trump's early bungling of the pandemic plunged the economy into recession. The COVID supply chain problems and the economic stimulus required to prevent a depression led to the spurt in inflation which is finally receding.

People who are nostalgic about taking hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, drinking bleach, and sticking UV lights up their butts must be excited about the opportunity to vote for Trump again.

2020 was a year unlike any other. A year of masks and marches. A tale of two pandemics, COVID-19 and the deep-rooted pandemic of white supremacy and structural racism. Shelter in This Place, the 2021 volume of the inSpirit Series, is an anthology of poems, prayers, and reflections from Unitarian Universalists about their experiences of 2020—offered as a testament to our collective grit and grief, rage and resistance, love and loneliness. With readings that come from a variety of perspectives, identities, and geographies, Shelter in This Place captures the complex reality of 2020. And yet despite the grief and loss collected in these pages, the writers describe resilience and joy too. As we come to another anniversary of March 2020, may this book contain words that heal, comfort, and inspire you in the days ahead.

Shelter in This Place is available to order at inSpirit: The UU Book and Gift Shop at shopinspirit.org.

remember when in 2020 people were like “man this is going to have such devastating impacts on people’s mental health in the long term” and now that it’s 2024 no ones really talking about it anymore, despite the effects still being very much there.
