I mean I do agree that it would have been nice if unions took up the mantle of pushing for anti-Covid policies (I think initially there was and there was a good bit of resistance to things like back-to-office policies, etc., but ultimately they conceded on those due to the pressure). But I don't think we should just be waiting for the anti-Covid push to be coming down from on high, we can talk to people in our day-to-day lives about this stuff, especially our partners (like in the other thread) and maybe we won't get them to completely change their behavior, but they might start taking some precautions, and for others we'll plant the seed of maybe covid is still a big deal. There are a lot of people out there who are not so pro-Covid as much as they are just ignorant due to confusion and the massive propaganda push to create an end to the pandemic.
yeah I realize we're all in different situations, and our approaches to different people in our lives will of course always be different, some people might be more receptive while others are more against it. But I don't think the solution is to just throw up our hands. We advocate where we can, and although it might be inadequate, it's more adequate than doing nothing.
