With sick and disabled people physically and psychologically distanced from them, people who are well and non-disabled have detached themselves from the immorality of their own behavior. "Return to normal" frames indifference to suffering as a morally neutral position and public health as a matter of personal preference. But there is no neutrality in the individual actions that comprise public health; they either cause harm or prevent it. Segregating the "unfit" from the "fit" is not a matter of debate. It is an abomination and a core tenet of eugenics.
I was completely floored by going to see my doctor in person the other month and nobody there being masked anymore, like, this shit is clearly not over; if anything since the WHO declared it "no longer a pandemic (but endemic)" I've had many, many more people I know suddenly get it, gee I wonder why
fuckin' sucks, man
