The US gov's misinformation that we can act like covid's over is mainly so we're good servants for capital, and that's lib shit. That's mostly what I got.

    I view it the same way as living an eco friendly lifestyle. It's nice to do to help out the people immediately around you, and it might make your own life worse in some ways but better in others. But since the entire situation can only be dealt with collectively and we live in an individualistic, profit driven world that only cares for the interest of capital, the ship of actually dealing with the situation in a productive way has sailed. More concretely, I still mask up any time I'm around anyone I don't live with, and I avoid indoors gatherings except those that I have some kind of responsibility to attend. I wouldn't expect other people to live to this standard, and I think it's something I've only been able to maintain for as long as I have because I'm not a very social guy even in the best of times.
