As I predicted some, like the Geman authorities still strongest nation in Europe, start ignoring Corona while American news states today that Covid 19 is still mutating.
There is still a possibility that Corona turns leathel. CBS today stated that three years in the epedemic a Corona infection created strong immunity, while the German media starts acknowledging mRNA vaccination long term problems greater than expected by the authorities.
Nature might this time decide to not wipe out 80% of mankind, yet after creating immunity for all those parts of the most successful species of all time, to take out those that keep sticking to a lifestyle that is responsible for climate change and a decrease of overall species along with mass deforestation and creating weapons ready to destroy the planet.
The Alpha wave killed the elderly long term medication users of our society in a major hit, but those living a fosile fule based airconditioned jet set live pushing suncream killing coral riffs into the ocean and cutting down woods for drugs, short use furniture and textiles are having a better than ever time.
Stocks of the war machine and luxurious waste creators are up and keep going while there is still no ethanol or low energy renovation around at all, yet voting for battery run electric cars no matter of the origin of the batteries.
In a previous comment I predicted based on travel time comparison that, this being The Plague 2.0, it will be around for about 9 years. Pessanger travel time decreased, but interestingly, goods travell speed is roughly the same even so using diesel engines. It just became more constant instead of waiting for good winds being limited to certain natural windows.
The problem back than and today is yet the same. We have an elite in power of especially weapons and humans willing to use them, being on legal drugs, medication and both prescription and illicit street drugs, like the feudal lords of the dark ages and their soldiers drank more wine and beer than water, facing only few knights and nobleman protecting an outgunned farmer and citizen population, that keeps choosing conflict over harmony to stay in charge and that way potentially murdering millions in conflicts about to come, if there are no reforms creating revolts and revolution facing counter revolutions and increasing violant supression.
This is far from over and possibly did not even start. There will be a new world order after the end of the Modern World that had until here three phases: Industrialisation, mobilisation and digitalisation deriving from republikanism and pre-industralisation mass production in organised workshops, that came after urbanisation and trade expansion based on agricultural advances creating structures to deal with our growig population in a harmonic way with nature.
Considering how easy our leaders choose conflict, that could potentially crack the planet, we need more social responsibility and understanding in mankind to be able to create something after this period. From Homo Sapiens Sapiens to Homo Sapiens Okkolus ore we turn dinosaurs by a virus or our own weapons made to protect us from each other.
