It's 5 years as we know since lockdown.
Talking about it on the news and radio.
Wish they wouldn't.
Will they talk about it in 5 years time because it's the tenth anniversary.
Do we need reminding?
AIBU.

So do we expect it every 5 years then, in 5 years will they be saying it's 10 years now?

Show quote history

All significant anniversaries for at least the next 100 years

Probably it was a major part of history just like the anniversary of 9/11 it always gets a mention and rightly so.

People will be talking about the pandemic, its effects and lessons for years to come. It was a major world event that has had lasting impact in some areas.

While I can understand not wanting to think about it/ finding it 'triggering, you can't really expect people not to mention it. Would you expect people not to refer to anniversaries of the World Wars? And there are still lessons that need to be learned from it.

I foresee that someone will be come on to say stop talking about the war.

PickAChew · 24/03/2025 17:18

And yet you are here, talking about covid. Well done, OP.

I do wonder how some OPs get through life, I really do!

Differentstarts · 24/03/2025 17:17

Oh the irony 🙄

Wish they'd stop talking about Covid while starting a thread on Covid.😂
Seriously though. It's one of the biggest threats we've faced in health we've had in a long time.

Surely surely you see how daft you’re being posting this actively encouraging discussion 😂
