Influenza is still here and kills some people. It's long past time to recognize that Covid has gone from pandemic to endemic. LIEden will never "stop" Covid, because that's not how viruses work.
If you think about it, the liberal response to COVID is to believe that it can be completely eradicated. That nature can be, somehow, completely subdued by mankind. What does that sound like? What's that remind you of? Exactly: their hubris and delusion that giving money to the government can change the climate. I am not sure what happened or when it happened that makes liberals believe they can control every aspect of their existence. The great irony in all of this is that they're miserable people no matter what, owing to their narcissism, so even if the world was perfect, they'd still be miserable. Changing themselves is faster, easier, and cheaper than trying to alter physics, economics, and politics, but that would never occur to them.
