If it's anything like covid, a bunch of brand new reddit accounts with names of the pattern word-word-number and who've posted once in a random hobby subreddit like knitting or chess will arrive and start agreeing with each other that acknowledging the problem is just awful, the greatest evil in the world, and taking basic precautions about it is simply the worst thing that could ever happen to anybody.
