It's funny, I think the denial is on the other side, the Stockholm syndrome hysterics that never want to let go of whatever psychological thing happened to them during covid. Yes there's a new respiratory virus, it's not a reason for us all to act crazy forever, but it's garnered this insane "following" of people who now want the world to revolve around it. Time to move on.

Edit: I'm not trying to convince anybody, I know there's a group that's to far gone for that that really needs proper mental health support. My comment was really just a reaction to accusing the normals of "denial", which is a bit much.
