"Covid, 5 years on: what have we learned? "
We learned people generally suck. That asking for even a modicum of empathy for their fellow human beings by wearing something as innocuous as a mask can be met with immaturity and even hate. We learned that people are selfish beyond measure, and we learned the next will be worse because "I don't gotta wear that."
☠️
But hey, at least it wasn't airborne Ebola...this time.
