COVID? What COVID?

The opinions in these letters to the Guardian newspaper are correct.  This is in England, but Joan Twelves might as well be talking about the United States:

"The past is being erased. The present is being ignored. Even though the pandemic is still with us, all protections, surveillance and data collections have been dismantled. Those millions still at the highest risk are reporting being told to take their masks off in hospitals. The roughly quarter of a million people who died from Covid are no longer even a number."

Here, too, people are unmasked, unvaccinated, and acting as if the pandemic never existed at all.  It's very discouraging, to say the least.
