I don't think we're calling it pandemic anymore.

i hope this trend dies - i just hate the cutesy-ness of it. people are still dying. 🙄

This is a really good point. I don't think it's a good look to edit the post (although I'm happy to if people prefer it), but I won't do it again.

i call it miss rona and this thread is making me see that differently.
