"People who have gone “back to normal” (ignore the existence of COVID-19) often
justify their decision by pointing to their own health status as “not high
risk”. Implicit in this statement is the existence of a high-risk group of
people who should still be taking COVID precautions. Also implicit is the
abandonment of collective care and public health, since the “back to normal”
crowd places the burden of COVID precaution on disabled, immunocompromised and
vulnerable people alone.
For the most part, high risk groups indeed shoulder this burden alone. They are
no longer safe in public and many limit their time in critical spaces like
grocery stores and pharmacies; forget going to concerts or other “inessential”
activities. Millions of Long COVID patients in particular, all too aware of
what a single COVID infection can do, have to expend inordinate time, energy,
and money simply to continue existing in a society hellbent on infecting them
again and again and again. But you might guess that healthcare settings -
specifically designed to accommodate the sick and injured - are still a safe
haven for vulnerable groups.
Guess again! As COVID continues to cycle through new variants and surges,
hospitals are stripping away even the inadequate infection control measures
they implemented at the beginning of the pandemic. Come in for heart surgery,
leave with a heart-damaging virus. What a business model!"
