It was a liberal party doing it with a new woman leader and the people protesting treated as some kind of total misunderstanding of reality or an excuse for government crackdown for conspiratorial reasons.
I imagine this is more or less how it would go if it really happened. Maybe if it had more enforced air ventilation/quality upgrades in buildings and expansions to health services and workers right to stay home sick it’d go over better, but I kinda’ doubt it too.
I have the odd hopeful dream of everyone taking COVID and climate change seriously. It’s usually subtle, like I’m visiting relatives and don’t have to worry so much because I remember that everyone masks again for some reason. And there’s inexplicably lots of light rail around my American midwest suburban house. It’s nice.
That sounds amazing.
