Language matters. I shutter every time I hear someone refer to the pandemic or Covid in the past.
“During COVID we…”
It’s still during COVID!
People’s actions might be in a post-covid world but it’s not a post-covid world.
“Back to normal” = public health failing us and ppl living in denial.

Your regular reminder that the COVID pandemic is NOT over. Please use language accordingly. Don’t refer to ‘during the pandemic’ or ‘post-COVID’ or ‘since COVID’. We are still in the thick of it - wave after wave. People are still dying or becoming disabled from Long COVID
