Dear Daily Disaster Diary, September 25 2025

COVID-19 Didn’t Vanish – We Just Stopped Caring. And That’s the Real Pandemic.


Remember when we thought summer meant safety? When the “experts” told us respiratory viruses don’t thrive in warm weather? SARS-CoV-2 destroyed that myth. It didn’t pack its bags after winter. It booked an all-inclusive stay in our lives—forever.

Fast forward to 2025: People are still catching it in August. Severe symptoms, weeks of fatigue, and the infamous “razor blade throat” that makes swallowing feel like torture. And yet, we act like this virus retired.

It didn’t. We just got bored.



The Reality Check Nobody Wants

  • COVID didn’t disappear.

  • It didn’t become harmless.

  • It still kills thousands every year—enough to make the top 15 causes of death in many countries.

  • Long COVID? Millions suffer lingering symptoms—fatigue, brain fog, cardiovascular issues. And here’s the kicker: we still don’t fully understand it.


But hey, let’s all pretend it’s “just a cold” because politics, because convenience, because forgetting feels good.


The Data Nobody Reports


Governments are quietly stopping data collection. Entire regions don’t report case numbers anymore. 

Death tallies? Frozen months ago. Why? Because transparency equals accountability, and neither is popular these days.

Globally, official COVID deaths sit around 7 million, but the real figure is estimated at 20 million. That’s not “mild.” That’s historic catastrophe levels.


Mitigation vs. Damage: Which Bill Do You Want to Pay?


Here’s the question:
Would you rather spend $1 on prevention or $2—or $20—on hospital bills, lost wages, and permanent health damage?

  • Clean Air: We filter water because dirty water kills. Why don’t we filter air where people gather—schools, nursing homes, hospitals, offices? 

  • HEPA filters and ventilation upgrades save lives.

  • Vaccination: The science is clear: vaccines prevent severe illness and death. Yet uptake is plummeting. 

  • Why? Politics. Conspiracy theories. Complacency.


The Madness of Vaccine Backlash


Some governments now actively discourage vaccines. Funding cut. Recommendations scrapped. Access restricted. 

In some places, you’ll pay $100 out-of-pocket for a booster—if you can even find one.

Meanwhile, the same societies that demonize vaccines will cheerfully cover the cost of your ICU stay. That’s insanity disguised as “freedom.”


A Radical Proposal


If some countries want to treat science like an optional lifestyle choice, why should others suffer the consequences?

  • Should nations start denying entry to unvaccinated travelers?

  • If you want to be part of the global community, shouldn’t you meet basic public health standards?

  • We ban people for bringing in fruit or meat. Why not viruses?

You don’t want a shot? Fine. But don’t export your pathogens.


The Source Question: Still a Mystery

Five years later, we still don’t know where this virus came from. That should terrify you. Because if we can’t trace the origin, how do we prevent the next one? And yet, geopolitical power games keep the truth buried.

Accountability? Zero. Lessons learned? Minimal. Next time? Worse.


Why This Matters

COVID is endemic. That means permanent. Patterns suggest bigger fall surges are coming. Vaccination remains the best shield—but uptake is collapsing. Airborne mitigation? Barely on the agenda.

And while we argue about “personal choice,” the virus isn’t debating ethics. It’s mutating. Quietly. Relentlessly.


Bottom Line

Ignoring COVID doesn’t make it go away. It makes you vulnerable. It makes your healthcare system weaker. It makes society more fragile.

So ask yourself:

  • Do you want to pay a dollar to prevent disaster, or pay ten to survive it?

  • Do you want freedom from masks, or freedom from oxygen tubes?

Because pandemics don’t care about politics. 

But politics sure loves to kill people quietly.


🔥 What do you think? Should the world start requiring proof of COVID vaccination for entry, just like yellow fever? Or have we given up on the idea of collective responsibility entirely? 


yours truly,
