According to the Tuskegee Institute, 4,743 people were lynched between 1882 and 1968 in the United States, including 3,446 African Americans and 1,297 whites. Whites were lynched for fighting racism.

Surviving doesn't mean living. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the UK alone who have caught covid and who now cannot work because of long-term health effects. Maybe it doesn't matter to you, but I'd rather not be a vegetable for the rest of my life because of "just a flu".

I seriously doubt that
maybe a few hundred cannot work because of long-term health effects, but hundreds of thousands ?
and I have no sources to back that up
I just don't believe the number could be that high

122k health care workers + 114k teachers = hundreds of thousands.
Now, it's true that not all of them are completely disabled because of their long-term effects. But it also doesn't mean that they can work anywhere near as much as before.

> 114k teachers
wait .. so they didn't close the schools ?
how do 114k teachers have long covid
maybe I can see doctors and nurses who are exposed to it every day for months and months having it (though I still think a 3 week vacation on a sunny beach would cure them -- I think most of this is just depression and exhaustion from extremely long work hours and work weeks and no vacation for the past year all while dealing with an overflow of patients many of whom who can be very sick)
but how would so many teachers be affected by long covid if the schools were closed ?
were they not closed ?

The UK didn't close the schools. They did so briefly and then reopened them. I have British friends who are/were annoyed because there's no online option for schooling as in the US. You could withdraw your child completely, and lose your place at that school, or keep your child in school and they get to help spread sickness to the teachers.

There are MANY places in the US where schools were open 100%, and yet hundreds of thousands of teachers did NOT get Covid.

There was never a pandemic to begin with. A real pandemic is visibly seen. It does not need 24 hour marketing from media outlets.

Replying to the first post, the situation has alleviated to a greater extent in the US. But as it was put - "No one is safe until everyone's safe." With populous countries like Brazil and India still reeling under dire circumstances, the fight is far from over. The double mutation in India is said to be more potent than the earlier mutations. Some studies have also pointed to the inefficacy of vaccines on the new strand (only time can tell how bad it is). India is reporting 300,000+ cases on average, and the situation looks grim with a shortage of beds and oxygen. Experts say the situation could reach a point where India reports around 700-800k cases per day. The situation though reminds me of Emily Mendel's Station Eleven, a novel I had read at the start of the pandemic. The novel talks about a pandemic that wipes out 99% of the population. However, the new normal that the pandemic has perpetrated seems like a post-apocalyptic world to many.

While I was looking to attach an article about double mutation, I found something scarier - a triple mutation.
