There is no acceptable level of risk when an asymptomatic infection can lead to infecting and disabling someone else. And it’s impossible to know who is not presently infected, asymptomatic, or disguising mild symptoms. “Am I JuSt sUpPoSeD to be in LoCkDoWn FoReVeR?” You are supposed to strap on a respirator around people not in your household AND improve ventilation and air quality in your home, work/school, and social spaces to the clean air.

It is 2025. Covid went worldwide in 2020. Covid is kindergarten age. Saying “Every time I’ve gotten Covid” is not a normal thing to say about something that’s only been around half of a decade.

Live life so that you can say “the last time I got Covid was when it was kindergarten age” when Covid is old enough to drive or vote or apply for pensions.

Totes fine for cops to cover their faces while violating humans, but not if you’re a decent person practicing community care and preventing virus spread

Lurked a Reddit thread and people will legit say they first caught Covid in 2022 after the pandemic ended, without a hint of consideration that maybe the fact that they caught the thing we were all trying to avoid for two years the moment the government mitigations were lifted maybe perhaps meant the pandemic had not really ended and they are, actually, soaking in it.

We went from "it's okay to not be okay" to "are you oKaY" to "empathy is mental illness" really super fast
