In an article “Normalizing the Forever Pandemic,” Jennifer Oliver O’Connell at Red State sums it up:
We have gone from 15 days to slow
the spread to 333 days with COVID still active, along with new strains. We went
from only those most vulnerable should wear masks in March, to we’re masking up until 2022 to
“save lives.” Candidate Biden blamed Trump for COVID deaths and poor response
to the pandemic, and said he would work to create a plan to end the pandemic.
Apparently, plans to end the pandemic have been put on pause, if not given up
altogether. What we have is forever pandemic language, with its symbol being
normalizing Mask wearing—and maybe wearing several.
It seems it doesn’t get better.
Biden said in that same Thursday
conference that the “end goal” is “beating COVID-19.”
But with each new press conference,
he keeps moving the goal posts, and the American people have noticed.
. . .
Part of making something “normal”
is to make it ubiquitous and also trendy. Everyone you see, from your waitress,
to your news anchors, to your favorite television characters are wearing their
masks. We now have masks in fashionable colors and designs to match your
outfits, emblazoned with logos and representative statements — or better yet,
you can market your work or product instantly!
. . .
The “forever pandemic” message only
takes hold if we accept it as normal.
If we insist on a society of zero
risk forever, people will never see their elderly parents again. The forever
pandemic and the zero-risk society bear heavy costs.
Read the rest here. (It's not just the Biden administration. The CDC, Drs. Fauci and Birx et al were moving the goals posts in month 1 of the "forever pandemic.")
