I NEVER used the phrase "new normal" during anything that took place in 2020.

"New ABnormal" occasionally.

Call me a COVID-denier, call me a Neanderthal, I never bought into much less accepted this stinking sack of s***.

I don't have to "return" to normal because I never left it.

What does it take to convince you? The MSM screamed it night after night over and over. Everytime you turn on the news the fearporn oozed out as they told of the NEW cases. How many had it. How many had died from it (supposedly). But if someone dies of the vaccine - whoa! Hold the bus. Don’t jump to no conclusions. We need to make sure it was vaccine related (it wasn’t that way with Covid deaths - I wonder why). So if you’re still cornfused , just listen to Dr. Falsely. He’d never steer you wrong.

You are neither a denier nor are you a Neanderthal (at least only Joe Biden thinks you are). The fact of the matter is that a lot of people will have serious psychological trauma over this — PTSD / attachment injuries / chronic fear. People will return to normal, but given the 24/7 coverage which roughly translates to 24/7 worry that you are going to die (at least to those who delve into the media) it is easy to see. This will pass. And I agree there is no new normal.

How did I know she’d be a psychotherapist based in NYC?

Probably because I grew up with her (or at any rate, her clones, who were legion and are probably all now psychotherapists) and I know that they were always self-centered, fearful and controlling.

I don’t care if they want to be crazy. Just leave the rest of us out of your craziness.

There's actually such a thing as post-COVID-19 stress disorder, which is along the lines of PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder]”

Oh, goody, an actual named diagnosis that people can glom onto instead of their masks. Some people love and need to have a diagnosis to tell other people about.

"We lived for over a year with such fear and such uncertainty.

No, mostly frustrated and irritated at all the idiocy on parade.

I know what you mean. The idea of quarantining the healthy is insane.

I was never afraid of the virus. Even after I got it.

The Media needs to be hel accountable for the constant 24/7/365 hysterics and scaring the hell out of people.

The batflu exposed the lack of common sense and faith in God in this nation.

The saddest part is it showed just how many sheeple there are, everywhere

that is, how many people are gullible and easily-controlled by Media propaganda ... how many don’t have common sense and can’t see that they’re being played ... and this crisis showed that there are LOTS

now that’s scary

What I find unsettling is the number of people still clinging to wearing the mask. I get some should wear one but the shear number of those unwilling to shed the face diaper is disturbing.

I gave them their two weeks.

And then I returned to normal.

Went two places today without a mask.
People seemed so happy to see me.

The unsettling part was having to accept that I live among so many sheeple desperate to lick the boots of those that would beat them. Up until the Scamdemic I stupidly believed people were victims of oppressive regimes, not understanding that so many beg to be slapped around.

I need to relocate among adults. I'm on the edge of an urban area and urbanization breeds infantilism.

Just wait til they close us all down again with the inevitable variants. This so called return to normal is merely temporary.

We’ve seen glimpses of it here and there in the past, but the days of Idiocracy have now fully arrived.
