like there are legit covid sceptics on this site saying shit like "lol just touch grass" and "you need to go out" while we are currently heading to another peak (https://biobot.io/data/). and most claim to not be "covid sceptics" with weak defenses of their treats like "i cant just put my whole life on hold" and "im not just gonna live in fear" :yea:
while these ppls presence on this site is enough justification for this post, i wanna add that i woke up this morning w a sore throat and had a slight cough yesterday thats getting worse. gonna take a triple test today (covid, RSV, flu), but im p sure its covid bc my gf's mom tested positive 2 days ago and she still doesnt wear a mask around the house. i cant skip work bc i have bills to pay (living alone, gf lives w parents), but im lucky and dont see many ppl at my job so i can distance and mask while working. ive never gone "back to normal": go out only when necessary, drive thru theatre is big for us bc of safety, always wear mask even tho NOBODY else here does and me and my gf get strange looks and sometimes these fucking crackers around here COUGH IN OUR DIRECTION. i sacrificed my social life for 3 years and bc everyone else is too selfish to do the same, i have to face a 1 in 6 chance of disability and a chance of hospitalization/death. i hate this country so damn much
so despite everything i got the :covid-cool: . from now on were taking covid seriously. n95 + cloth mask EVERYWHERE. even at her house bc we obv cant trust her parents. im not letting us take off our masks unless we're alone, no exceptions. UGGGHHHH it sucks, ive avoided this disease for 3 years and now im so afraid that ill lose some neurological function, get GI problems, liver problems, sensory disability, etc. its so horrifying and stressful. guys pls take this seriously. nobody else is but i expected more empathy from ppl on this site
Ok but Covid has been going on for several years now with no sign of slowing. Staying locked inside for what well might be a decade would also deeply fuck up my life
you can go outside while not spreading misinformation and shaming people for keeping themselves safe, which is the kind of attitude that I'm sure prompted this post
Exactly. Take your risks if you want, but don't try to convince others to follow suit and do not make others in your life take that risk with you if they do not want to.
Right, because everything good is impossible and we should just surrender to the glorious joy of eugenics. "You do you" = dead nurses, millions of orphaned children, and exterminating immunocompromised people because they are too expensive and annoying to take care of.
The rest of what I said is me saying if you're taking large COVID risks then you don't get to go immediately hangout with others. I.e. isolate and test if you just MUST go to a concert or whatever
You can go to a fucking concert if you want, just don't take off your fucking n95 and don't go online and tell everyone you're tired of covid and want to go back to Arby's. That is one million percent lib shit and the main fucking reason we are in this situation in the first place.
That's literally what I'm saying lol
Edit: Or at least that was my intention. I'm in full agreement here

The rest of what I said is to not include others with your risk taking. I.e. don't do something with a high COVID risk and then go hangout with others who did not consent to that risk immediately afterwards.
