In the name of decentralization, the covid19 sub should be moved/mirrored to another instance, and mander.xyz is very suitable.

9/11 was a one time thing. COVID is an ever evolving disease that was pretty lethal for certain groups of people, and bad shit for the rest. But a disease cannot keep living if it kills the host. Quarantines start, and the disease dies out. So naturally the less lethal evolution survives, because if it doesn't kill the host, quarantines are less necessary.

COVID is not over. It changed. As did we, by developing vaccines. But the urgency of quarantine because of over full hospitals are gone.

You can be cautious. And if you're in the risk groups you should. But societal necessity is over. Live your life, and stay at home when you have symptoms.

I don't demand a perfect world I just demand a world we can install hepa filters in hospitals and schools with the same expediency that we installed enhanced security screening facilities in every international airport in the world

Your logic is completely backwards with respect to the post. 9/11 was a one time thing, yet we can't bring sunscreen on a plane. COVID is still happening, and yet we can't provide better air quality to schools and hospitals.

This post isn't about quarantines. It's about the fact that political messaging convinced people all over the world to still live in fear from terrorism because it is politically convenient for enhancing the oppressive powers of government, but 20 years later political messaging convinced people like you to "move on" from COVID because it was economically inconvenient.
