I was walking to the bus stop in downtown Seattle on the way home today and this woman who passed me on the sidewalk had the nastiest cough as she went by. Even though it's 95F out and my mask is all sweaty underneath I kept it on the entire way home.
even with the heat it's worth keeping an n95 on when outside to block out or at least mitigate the smell of piss poo poo asphalt car exhaust etc that'll barrage you when anywhere in the city

how about also people were always right to question the vaccine and efficacy of lockdowns as the pandemic never suspended the question of capital.

it’s still echoed in this very thread that if people had just lockdowned harder, the virus would have been defeated. that was just a delusion as lockdowns were always for the ‘non-essential’ workers.

the disdain for ‘anti-vaxxers’ was always dumb because the vaccine doesn’t stop spread and the risk calculation is nebulous especially for younger people as the vaccine is not without side-effects
