Is covid-liberalism a bannable offense in c/covid?
I'm getting really fucking weary of seeing sentiments like, "being upset about someone scheduling a non-emergency dental appointment in the middle of the second largest covid wave is deranged" or "you're a selfish asshole for expecting your loved ones to do the bare fucking minimum to protect you" in discussions on masking or vaccine uptake
I know I'm not the only one disappointed in the growing anomie. Maybe we should operate more like c/vegan where everything from omnivore apologia to overt antiveganism (analogous to the above anti-precaution/anti-max/anti-vax-apologia) is forbidden, and posting/commenting as much gets you a ban?
im going to hyperfixate on this example specifically because i otherwise agree completely with this post
problem is that dental problems snowball. you don't get proper dental treatment, it gets worse. so then you need a more expensive and invasive surgery or operation later on
so unless it's literally a routine checkup, i would argue there isn't really such a thing as a "non-essential" dental appointment. this literally only matters to me because my teeth hurt and i don't want them to continue to hurt more
edit: the fact that covid-safe dentists exists means that i am both exonerated and you are more correct. get your teeth cleaned by a non plague rat dentist hexbearites
edit 2: my point is basically that i care about dental hygiene and covid safety and i dont want to trade those off from each other
They separate vision and dental care from standard healthcare to make you think they’re luxury procedures![bougie-wink bougie-wink](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/4f61a69e-bdf0-48d4-bf02-ae0ffbb79410.png)
Maintenance of optional bones and organs
Whats a good wayntonfind said covid-safe dentists. I have a moderate issue I don't want to become a major issue
I asked on
in my local city's subreddit to get a list of covid-safe dentists. I got downvoted and trolled to hell but I also got a list of dentists who require everyone in the clinic -- patients and staff -- wear masks. I also got a list of ones who had relaxed requirements so I could avoid them. Now I'll admit I've had a lot going on and I haven't called any of them to arrange an appointment yet since I just wanted to plan a regular checkup and cleaning, but it's a start.
I might also suggest /r/ZeroCovidCommunity, which is pretty leftist for
. I know that site is shit in general but these were niche helpful uses of it.

Good resource but fairly sparse. Best bet is to call local offices and ask.
