Giving a shit about covid is a big part of solidarity that a lot of people seem to have given up on.
not just solidarity, I'd liken it to climate change at this point
I've heard many stories both here and on about people who've NEVER CAUGHT COVID before getting it, getting long-COVID, and even dying of it
it feels like a probability game, except it's mutating into like 20 strains every second so there could be a 100% probability that it eventually fucks everyone over
The fact that all-cause mortality was ~20% higher during the year of 2022/23 lends credence to this
the operating assumption, including on hexbear, is that if you were unaffected until now you're good, and that's not really true
I've been operating under the assumption that we're all playing the 'How many Covid infections does it take to kill you, either directly or indirectly?' game, and I don't think I'm alone in that in this comm, at least.
Russian roulette with viruses
Lol, yeah pretty much. Though I've stopped using that phrase because it feels too much like that lib thing of pointing at the horrors of capitalism and calling it communism. 😅
Edit: Maybe more like Pokemon with viruses.
I 100% agree. I wish people still cared. I'm high risk for multiple reasons and very few people seem to understand why I'm still taking heavy precautions.
I’m not high risk AFAIK but I mask whenever indoors or among people outdoors because I don’t need fucking long covid.
And yet people will think we're the weirdos for wanting to put in the bare minimum effort to avoid permanent brain, lung, or heart damage.
We bear witness to the power of normalization
