The situations are almost entirely unrelated. COVID is a virus that unintentionally spread and in rare cases causes an ongoing reduction in capacity from one's baseline. FfA has a surgical technique which is applied to single person to raise them above their baseline, and then gradually they fall back to their pre-exisitng baseline. Seems like OP was using a tenuous parallel to score some cheap political or perhaps conspiratorial point.

I think the OP is mostly there but didn't stick the landing. I use FfA comparatively to describe a cognitive a-b-a trip. But re-titling the story - that might associate the underlying story details as well.

Nuance needs some exp (for some of us, lots). Hopefully we're patient.
