Hello citizens of Secville,

Welcome to The Flutter, Issue 4. Apologies for the delayed upload, I was on 'vacation'. This week we'll be exploring COVID-19, arguably the worst thing to happen in modern history.

---

As we all know, COVID-19 is the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus which was first recorded in Wuhan, China in late 2019. Since then, our lives have been, or perhaps still are, turned around completely and the impact at both an individual and population level has been pretty startling. Personally speaking, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a noticeable decline in my mental health, and I'm not alone in that. Also, there has been a lot of misinformation floating around which grossly underestimates disease severity in the unvaccinated which has been pretty detrimental to public health.

I want to know your opinions on COVID-19; do you have any personal stories, like how you felt when you had the disease, vaccination stories (positive or negative)? As always, feel free to answer the poll attached and let your opinions be known even if you belong to another state.

Love,

A horrible disease that fries your brain cells. That's not very good. Individuals who compare it to the flu are extremely dangerous.

I definitely agree. The neurological, cardiovascular and pulmonary implications are so serious that comparing it to the flu is the equivalent of comparing MS to the pins and needles you get from sitting down too long.

COVID definitely would of been taken more seriously if it wasn’t so politicalized for politicians benefits. It shouldn’t have been(at least in America) “you’re a republican if you don’t wear a mask, and you’re a democrat if you do wear a mask in public spaces.” The big people in charge also did a terrible job regulating what’s fake information and what’s not.

Definitely, I think that's such a weird way of putting things. Thank god it's not like that in the UK in terms of labelling people as x if they don't do y, but the political implications and the duplicity of the government is definitely not confined to America unfortunately.

I lost my uncle to Covid and had multiple close calls with other family members. I and most of my class (I'm a senior) still wear our masks in class even though the mandate was lifted and we had a sub who seemed genuinely annoyed. He asked my friend if she was "still scared of a bug" I think the fact that people play it down to be "just a little bug" is a big reason why Covid is still spreading.

It feels like the whole world has decided that old, disabled, or otherwise vulnerable people don't get to go outside so that everyone can cough on eachother freely because covid is "Just a cold". I can only wait to see the outcome of Covid and Long Covid, and protect myself from ignorance.

I know this much. I'm not going to pretend I know more than the people studying this. I keep my mask on to be courteous to others and keep myself safe and will continue to do so until things are closer to normal.
