Back when the pandemic was still going, I thought how nice it was that mankind got a ‘test pandemic’. One you could keep in check with reasonable effort.
Now that I’ve seen how many anti-vaxxers that pandemic produced and how it eroded trust in health institutes, I believe that is wasn’t a test, not even a warning, but a first strike to weaken mankind, only for the next pandemic to be more effective.
That’s an interesting point. You say “a pizza slice” or “a slice of pizza”, but you only say “a slice of bread”, not “a bread slice” (right? I’m not a native speaker).
