Said it before but I'll say it again:

To the people engaging in risky behaviors this pandemic saying "I just couldn't survive without it, I NEED my social gatherings/vacation/date night/birthday party/etc?" People who are high risk have the SAME needs. You aren't a special case. https://twitter.com/cyreejarelle/status/1310540863458738177

Has being physically isolated from EVERYONE outside my husband and kids since *FEBRUARY* been really freaking hard? I can't even explain how hard. Has it had negative impacts? Absolutely. But it doesn't change that the alternative could kill me. So I keep going.

So if you decide to engage in risky pandemic behavior, that's entirely your choice. But own up to the fact that it *is* a choice, and one that's entirely within your control.

When you claim otherwise, you're literally discounting the enormous sacrifices being made like families like mine. What you're claiming is that I'm somehow more adept to isolation & loss, rather than acknowledging we both simply made choices here & taking responsibility for yours
