Fuck contributing to the mass murder of disabled people going on right now through uncontrolled COVID spread. Lets resist the chain of infection by staying inside and logged on.
Yes this boycott won't end the pandemic. But fuck, if it prevents even one person from getting COVID that is a victory.
May be we should dunk on these anti-masker 
s in the meantime to make this boycott more effective. May be more people will mask at these "mask optional" socialist meetings if we go hard enough.
I'm not going out!
Comrades invited me to a party, but they also all just got COVID at the last one. I've made my position clear and just no-show to every social event that has food indoors.
Stand strong! My wife and I have had the same stance for most of the pandemic and it sometimes sucks to have to straight up say no, or last minute cancel, but our comfort and health are way more important. If our friends take it personally, that's on them, but most of them are accepting of our choice. They may not fully understand, but they accept it without too much push back.
Stand by your decision to protect yourself and others!
posting is praxis. My house is comfy and I wish everyone on earth could live as comfy as me. I do not need to go outside where the Corgi Inebriation Association can Dorner me or where COVID variant 29,493,549.B.7 now with added lung fibrosis can find its way into my alveoli
the spike protein has been eliminated from my being and there's nothing these crackers can do about it, heh heh
I appreciate the solidarity. I'm disabled and I think my partner and I will be doing a movie marathon at home on New Years Eve.
Way ahead of you, comrade. My wife and I plan to stay in playing video games just like we did for thanksgiving and christmas.
If everyone in attendance does a throat rapid test (and tests negative) and uses Covixyl/Betadine/another nasal spray, it's safe to gather for a few hours, IMO.
But my cousin said they refuse to subject their children to rapid tests, so I'm not going
afaik rapid tests have like a 30% false negative rate and you're supposed to do three over three consecutive days. : p

Rapid tests have a 30% false negative if you test only your nose. Throat rapid tests are much more consistent.
and you're supposed to do three over three consecutive days. : p
This use of rapid testing is very different than answering the question "Am I getting COVID?". It's only meant to answer the question of "Am I contagious right now?" and that's why it's only good for a few hours.
Anybody familiar with those Lucira tests by Pfizer? I saw them advertised as near pcr level reliability but I don't know much more about them.
I went to christmas. Been wearing a mask indoors at all times, being outside most of the time, and sleeping in a room by myself with the windows open and an air filter going. Still have a very slight tickle in my throat i really, really, really don't like, but I have no tests here. : p
I'm the only one here who took any precautions, too. Regardless, when I get back I'm continuing to wear a mask for at least ten days bc god knows what my housemates have been exposed to.
your insurance might cover a certain number of tests/month for free, or offer reimbursement. also 8 free tests from https://www.covid.gov/tests if you haven't already gotten em.
hell yeah. I shall drink and play a video game and enjoy myself more than i would going to a party and worrying about the consequences of contracting and spreading disease
