It is also a capitalism problem, which is a severe resource hogging problem. Let’s begin shall we:

The discombobulated introduction

The famous comorbidities, and the death toll. The mild symptoms, and the desire to go back to normal. The invisible many, who are blantantly ignored.

I am so angry and I’ve kept seething for what feels like weeks now, but it’s probably just a few days, or actually months. I’m just going to write it out, to get it out of my system, so it stops poisoning my well.
