The Most Upsetting Trends of 2022
1. “COVID Syndrome”
Seems like everyone is either sick or coughing lately. Not only that, I see few people covering their mouths anymore.
This is a symptom of what I call “Covid Syndrome”. Sickness has become so normalized in the last few years that people won't even bother to cover their mouths anymore. During the pandemic, we communicated online plenty but spent less time in public. The social mores that were expected in common places diminished during the last few years of isolation and alienation.
Additionally, all the folks that condemned the virus as a hoax are so pissed about having their freedoms taken away, so now they’ve come out swinging by propagating a lawless society.
Covid Syndrome is a result of deprivation, and the subsequent entitlement is what we’re all dealing with now.
“I didn't get to do what I wanted the last few years, so now I am owed a time to do whatever I want without consequences.”
