Grief/tragedy/sympathy machine

A machine that needs functional, cooperative parts to keep going.
If the coronavirus hype didn't keep going, people would begin to wake up. Therefore the grief/tragedy/sympathy machine keeps it going, keeps the misinformation spreading like wildfire.

A way for some folks to claim that if you donate enough money, morale will get better.
The people claiming to be morale boosters were making a lot of money off the grief/tragedy/sympathy crisis, but would be quick to try and tear morale apart again if they needed more money for another grief/tragedy/sympathy crisis.

Grief-weird

people who, as a result of toxic positivity and avoidance, act super weird and awkward about grief, enough to avoid widows and widowers and distance themselves from them
Ever since Aaron died, several friends got all grief-weird and stopped talking to Patricia completely. Other formerly close friends now pretend they were only ever acquaintances.

grief tragedy sympathy hope industry

An industry that loves to tell people who their heroes are/should be.
Thanks to the grief tragedy sympathy hope industry, the aviation museum that always had a name good enough for the residents of the city that went there had to change it's name to honor a guy they were told was their hero, rather than anybody asking them who their personal heroes were. Perhaps their personal heroes were a family member or someone from closer to home than Texas, but since nobody asked them, they were forced to adopt a guy they were told was their hero as their personal hero, without any room for anyone else (since many of them thought the name of the museum was good enough as it was, without being forced to change, and it was going to get changed to a preselected name chosen by the "new guard" instead of by the residents).
