American leadership has channeled the visionaries George W. Bush and Nostradamus and given a date with which to declare the SARS Cov 2 pandemic finished. Give yourself a round of applause for making it this far, take a bow, and dare not mention Covid ever again. You would do well to follow the lead of our president Joe Biden, and no longer even think about Covid.
By now you should believe reinfections are like a cold or flu, do not manifest in organ damage, and do not age the adaptive compartment of the immune system.
Any aging of the immune system, after all, is a normal process. If it were not a normal process apoptosis would not even exist as a cell fate pathway. Death is indeed natural, and after all, who is dying? Just the senescent cells.
More great news as well- the most optimistic among us believe there will be twice yearly opportunities for an immune boost from SARS Cov 2, with a 6 month average time to reinfection. Immunity will be like a gas tank that fills itself!
You should also believe immunity is like a muscle where more and more infections confer greater and greater immunity, despite this not even being the case for influenza in the elderly, people who have been exposed many times before.
You may recall the steady supply of smiles we all thrived on before the pandemic from our compatriots. Now, we can all have our fill- mask requirements are being done away with at many health clinics and offices. Finally, something to smile about!
Congratulations, everyone! And take an ice cream cone on the way out!

So now instead of going to the hospital or clinic to get better, we go and get sick. Makes me think of hospital care during the days of Edgar Allen Poe. People did not want to go to hospitals out of fear of getting sick and dying there. This fits in with the new child work laws being proposed in Iowa and Minnesota. The new Dark Ages has begun.
Your biting satire is so much better than mine. I just want to hear the SARS-CoV-2 official response. Carried on the major networks.
