Thanks, shitheads. Glad you're able to eat burgers in restaurants and don't have to feel uncomfortable around your unmasked family members so people like me can have a much harder time.

Leaving aside the truth of it, I don't think this is in line with most people's perception. But also I think the risk assessment is more betting they won't catch it than figuring they'll be fine if they do. My experience is more people overestimating how bad the infection is while vastly underestimating how contageous and ubiquitous it is
I think a lot of people are just fundamentally incapable of understanding their own mortality. Like they know disabled people exist, but either they've never seriously thought about what that means, or they're riddled with Calvinist brainworms and believe in a Just World.
One of the most sobering moments for me was when I realized that just about every late onset disabled person I saw at some point thought they were the exception, that they were invincible, that it was maybe cool and sexy and rebellious to smoke a few packs of cigarettes a day and that they would never be the old guy with the oxygen tank that they now are. :doomer:
