After the Omicron spike was over there was a huge reduction in infections and deaths, and even though the numbers have gone back up it feels like it’s gotten very little press.

There was a lot of laughing about chuddy people being incapable of wearing masks or wanting to go to applebees back in spring/summer 2020 but it's literally been worse for nearly the whole time since then and basically all the people who poked fun at the chuds have themselves given up. Congratulations you're all doing the same thing. There has never been a point since this fiasco started where going back to normal was any more reasonable or logical than it was back then, holding out for a few months longer than someone with a trump sign in their yard isn't really that impressive.

i still wear an n95/kn95 to any public indoor area i visit and don't eat indoors at restaurants and i can't really see that changing until there's a better vaccine  maybe next time i get a booster i'll use those few months of stronger protection to visit some of the restaurants i miss that don't have good takeout/outdoor options

My wife and I are holdouts and I'm sure there are others but I just find a bit of dark humor in the hypocrisy of the situation because at no point since covid started has doing these things become any more reasonable than it was when people were vocally judgy about it. It turns out that mostly everyone is exactly as dumb as the people they were making fun of when this began.

most of the pro lockdown 'responsibility' sentiment was just chronically online asocial losers finally having a moral pedestal to stand on while they talk about how much they hate everyone else and how stupid everyone is for not thinking the same way they do. A lot of it was probably left leaning people also who seized the moment to make it a whole political statement because trump is soooo dumb lol and identity for themselves, again, just masturbating at the idea of being toxic online to others and feeling morally justified in doing so. But that's not mutually exclusive with chronically online asocial losers. Methanar fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Aug 6, 2022 |

some weird opinions coming out, but anyway i don't wear a mask out of any particular sense of moral duty and don't care what others do or don't do at this point. i wear it because it's a simple, painless, and cheap way of protecting myself from a highly contagious respiratory virus that's circulating in public like we're in peak flu season all year round, except more dangerous, we don't seem to develop long lasting immunity from it, and it carries a significant risk of long term side effects. if that doesn't bother you and nobody you care about is vulnerable, then go nuts.

I didn't leave the house without my full face respirator, ear plugs, butt plug and sounding rod until about May 2022 in an attempt to keep covid out of all my holes. I still wear the buttplug daily, though.

There's a fine line between getting the vaccine and not getting the vaccine. I could really care less about your mask use at this point if you're vaccinated. Vaccination is the most important thing required to save lives, if you did that, we're square, considering the massive portion of the country that didn't. Comparing people who simply don't wear masks anymore or want to go to a restaurant after they've been vaccinated and boosted to someone who denied the vaccine existed, killed their grandma and their wife, and uses the phrase "Fauci ouchie" is a wild take.

We stripped out virtually all public health mandates by winter 2020 and still cut flu deaths almost to zero, so apparently we could have prevented thousands of deaths per year with the most halfassed effort imaginable but it just never occurred to us to try (and probably never will again.)

of all the things to reach for as a gotcha about risk taking... hepatitis A. like, how about flu? hell, how about driving? you know, things that actually make the top 10 every year as causes of death and disability that you could make lifestyle choices around to reduce personal risk. hepatitis.

This is incidentally the reason I give most strangers when they comment on me still wearing a mask. I used to get a bad flu a couple times a year, hell in 2019 I caught that december hell flu many attribute to being "early covid" or w/e, was incredibly sick for about an entire week, felt okay for the first half of the next week, then incredibly sick again for another few days. Was debilitatingly bad, like too tired to play video games level of sick. Since covid and the p basic steps taken such as masking I've gotten a p minor cold/flu exactly once, and outside of the oh poo poo did I finally get covid fear it would have been something I wouldn't have even thought about calling in about. I was like yeah I will literally continue to wear masks in grocery stores for the rest of my life if it means I don't have to deal with another mancold.

Yeah, I legit thought I was gonna die for a full week and was sick as hell for a week and a half. Worst part was I was on 90 day new hire probation and got sick as a dog 2 days before our 2 week shutdown, and my boss would not give me any leeway at all, considering I had no benefits or leave yet. So I worked on a production floor coughing so much I couldn't breathe, sweating, shaking, feeling like I was going to collapse at any moment for 2 solid days before I could go rest. Thankfully nobody else got sick, and then all of a sudden 3 months later they were taking any loving sneeze as a deathly serious excursion event.

Was debilitatingly bad, like too tired to play video games level of sick.  I have quite bad asthma and normally would end up with a chest infection followed by an asthma attack every winter, sometimes serious enough to require hospitalisation. The last 2 winters it didn’t happen; I was staying away from people, not going out to shops or restaurants as often as before, masking up every time I’m in an enclosed space for more than a few minutes, sanitising my hands after I’ve touched things like chip-and-pin payment machines and door handles etc.Granted I’m in a country where mask-wearing isn’t nearly as stigmatised as it weirdly appears to be in America, so I don’t get as many confused looks from people for the fact that I still wear one, but it’s honestly been a boost and a generally nice gesture to see that there are still quite a few people still wearing masks going in and out of shops here.
