Government response to this info: 🙉🙈
- I used to think that Soylent Green or Children of Men were probably the most realistic sci fis, but now we've got governments ignoring a disease that gives people brain damage, I think we're moving closer to Idiocracy.
  
  Also, Equilibrium and V for Vendetta sadly.
Thanks for posting this here. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

Love your username!
What happened to that medication that was supposed to ease the symptoms?
664 deaths due to covid in the last year?! Jeez.

I happened to pop in to the pharmacy for something, and if it wasn't for a poster advising a new round of free boosters was available I wouldn't have known or gotten one.

Gov. Could do a bit better with awareness and promotion.
