(cw: death, covid)

Sorry if this is bleak, but I felt like talking about it. So I've got a large extended family. A lot of tinfoil hat Qanon type members are dropping like flies. They don't believe covid is real to the very moment they're dying of it. They're deeply certain even as people they've known their whole lives are dying all around them. A good 10% of my extended family has died of covid, a few others have gotten it and have permanent complications now. More than one has ended up in the ER with an overdose of the horse paste.

Any of y'all experiencing the same? What are you doing about it?

    Pretty sure my sister is still unvaccinated because she's worried it will hurt her fertility or some shit. She lives in my house and I'm considering firmly telling her she needs to get vaccinated with the weight of her living in my house behind me (not explicitly saying anything about that, and I wouldn't actually kick her out).

    I'm honestly kind of surprised she hasn't gotten it yet. She goes out fairly often, wearing a mask occasionally but not always. Every time I see someone young on HermanCainAward I worry about her.
