Feb 2022 is when they started transitioning from pcr’s for everyone to home tests.

May 2023 is when they declared an “end to the public emergency” and ended the emergency and stopped requiring hospitals to test people.

This year they stopped requiring hospitals to report much of anything.

I guess this is just how it’s going to be from now on, and we’ll have to figure out what damage it’s doing by analyzing excess death rates

BTW many parts of the US (Hawaii and SF, and my little town apparently) and world are experiencing a pretty sizeable covid surge at the moment. Most likely from the FLiRT variant, and there is also a different variant coming up called kp.3, so that’s fun.

    I wish for fucking god damn once some of these politicians would kick it from fucking around with Covid. I know why they don’t (medical care and concern for me and not for thee!) but like, I know more than plenty enough of them drink their own Koolaid enough and they’re all malnourished fossils. Fucking die already! Give them the Herman Cain already!

      I definitely do too. Sadly the poor and marginalised are probably hundreds of times more likely to die from covid than a Western politician.
