Now that the coronavirus pandemic is officially declared over, here’s a look at the images it continues to inspire. I call these COVID-inspired images “Discarded but Not Forgotten.”

We continue to have new cases and new deaths every day in Australia, so to be honest, it’s still an issue. But one can’t help but ask, are the current deaths any more than the usual flu or other viruses that wax and wane every year?
In fact, how many deaths in recent months have been attributed to COVID, when in actual fact the victim died of an unrelated cause or old age and just happened to have COVID at the time of their death?
I guess it’s all in the media and reporting to the public.
Thanks for sharing, Vicki. We still have cases, here, in the US, too. Some deaths might be a combination of both, COVID and something else, but who knows. I believe that the media and officials could have reported on and informed about this pandemic in a better way. (oh, well…) Myself, I’m still wearing my mask when indoors, in public places. I’ve been doing this for the past several years, it’s a habit now, I guess. Also, there are places that still require it. Not grocery stores, but sometimes museums and the like. Anyway, we’ll see what the future brings. Thanks again. Appreciate it 🙂
