Is Panic Flu a Thing?
Thanks to COVID-19 we now live in what can either be considered a permanently absurd or post-absurdist world. I was firmly in the former camp until a few weeks ago. The longer the mask fetishists insisted that we keep wearing them even if we are fully vaccinated, the more I realized we were well on the other side of absurd and the word has almost zero meaning now.
As many have noted since late last year, the regular flu kinda disappeared with arrival of the Wuhan Chinese Bat variety. It was quite remarkable. Those who mentioned it early were dismissed as conspiracy nuts.
