I’m tired of reading about people being irresponsible because they have decided their desires outweigh the risk of infection.

So let’s say you get a mild strain of Covid and don’t die.. what are the realistic repercussions?

Become a carrier and infect others
Potential long term health issues
Temporary health issues
Possible medical debt/cost

I’m still being super complimentary here and we’re talking about realistic and second best scenarios.

Is it worth it?

It is possible to find ways to decompress and build new bonds with people during this time. You may have to do things a little differently but it’s possible. I understand why 100% isolation is not a sustainable long term plan. Sometimes you can do nothing wrong and still lose.

I have some insight on the human condition, especially individualism. People may start with good intentions but without making a conscious effort to keep up new habits they backslide quickly.

A lot of people are discovering/hard confirming their true nature for the first time.

I am trying to be judge less these days but when you put yourself at risk and I care about you, it makes me sad. When you put others at risk, it makes me angry.

I’m not going to get dramatic and say OMG YOURE POTENTIALLY KILLING PEOPLE!! but you kind of are and that’s the issue.

Things happen and you can only control so much but risks can be mitigated by a change in action.

Don’t get comfortable. Don’t despair.

This is everyone’s first pandemic and we’re learning what to do as information becomes available. Be willing to make some concessions
