Amusing just how continuously shortsighted we are about this whole thing. I remember being sent some in 2020 thinking "oh, just WFM for two weeks". Here we are, two years later. Never could have imagined.
I have to agree, that was very disheartening. Nevertheless, the writing was on the wall right on the first week of the very first lockdown, when so many people made it their point to not only reject complying with lockdowns and any form of basic personal higiene and health precautions but also be very militant and contrarian about violating public health guidelines.
It's hard to contain an epidemic when a sizeable part of the population is outright militant in contributing to it's spread.
