You sure you want to go there?
Yesterday was the second annual Covid Day of Reflection. Yes, really.
On Sunday 9 March 2025, people are invited to:
• remember and commemorate those who lost their lives since the pandemic began
• reflect on the sacrifices made by many, and on the impact of the pandemic on us all
• pay tribute to the work of health and social care staff, frontline workers and researchers
• appreciate those who volunteered and showed acts of kindness during this unprecedented time
That memorial wall! I was unaware of it last year. I only caught wind of it this year because of the absolute ridicule it got on social media, where everyone:
• remembered and commemorated those who weren’t given the right medication to treat the disease, were killed by being put on ventilators or died via vaccine
• reflected on the incompetent boobs who did pretty much everything wrong and still somehow amassed giant fortunes
• paid tribute to the NHS nurses who gave us obviously choreographed and rehearsed dance routines when they were supposed to be worked to the bone
Damn, I wish I’d kept a diary.
So, sing out. What do you think happened? You can choose more than one, but some are mutually exclusive.
1. Nothing at all. It was a perfectly normal flu season with no excess mortality.
2. Covid was a real disease that caused a real epidemic. It started out strong and then, as viruses do, it petered out.
3. Covid was a serious global pandemic that killed lots of people.
4. All those videos of Chinese people falling dead in the street? Total psyop. That somehow Western governments played into for their own reasons.
5. It was a dry run for future climate lockdowns and 15-minute cities.
6. It was a bioweapon accidentally released by a Chinese lab.
7. It was a bioweapon deliberately released so they could experiment with lockdowns.
Bonus question:
8. Do you think our authoritarian lords and masters are pleased with how it went?
