My sister and her husband are staying with me for the summer, and their retort every time I comment on how the mask mandates and other restrictions are nonsense that will all disappear once the election is over is always them giving me a serious look and insisting that covid is real and we'll all die if we don't cower in fear and blindly obey. I just tell them 'okie dokie, on November 4th, when not one single media outlet speaks another word about china flu ever again, and all concern about it disappears like a fart in the wind, you can tell me again how this was such a serious and real health issue.'
