I have seen people wondering … where are the new Covid-19 variants?
To be fair about new Covid variants … they ARE occurring. It’s just that the regime has moved on to the next Thing(tm) and so they aren’t being put on the news.
They basically realized that they were expending far too much of their credibility pushing the Covid thing, and so let it die.
But the virus still exists, and because it’s a single-stranded RNA virus, it mutates quite a lot, creating lots of new variants. But for the most part, and for most people, these aren’t very dangerous.
And even if they were … well, like I said, they need to put this behind them.
Commercial real estate has become a serious problem, with so many people working from home — a trend that grew huge during the pandemic — and regional banks are highly exposed. Commercial real estate magnates don’t want to lose their shirts over yet another lockdown, and they and their banks have a fair amount of pull.
Basically, the Covid thing exposed how razor-thin and vulnerable our supply chains are, how fragile our infrastructure is, how suddenly we can have the same toilet paper rationing as the USSR, how many people really CAN be working from home for better work/life balance, and did serious damage to the commercial real estate sector among others.
Meanwhile, it caused many people to question the regime’s credibility for the first time, with the mask, no mask, double mask thing and THEN employers literally mandating an experimental shot.
They were bleeding credibility like a stuck pig, and commercial real estate magnates were squealing too … and regional banks were destabilizing.
At this point, if covid-23 showed up and it was bona fide deadly, there would be no lockdowns — they would want you showing up to work even if you were hacking a lung into your boss’s face, because this regime’s continuity depends on people at least being able to have some toilet paper.
