@AnyAnagram @Squijibo When the gas shortages actually hit, those remote workers will be sitting pretty.

I recently caught up with an old friend. They are savvy enough to know not to criticize masks to us, but they went on about how terrible the younger generation, who "only knows work from home" is in their office. Felt like a workaround way to rag on COVID mitigations and us.

This is the part people don’t understand. Those of us trying to avoid covid aren’t “afraid of a cold.”
It’s the downstream heart problems, immune and cognitive dysfunction, cancers, etc. we don’t want.
Prof Julia Lawton@Prof_J_Lawton
To be clear, Covid has an acute & a chronic phase. For many, the acute phase can now be relatively ‘mild’, but the chronic phase can continue to inflict all manner of evil on one’s body. Career destroying complications can appear months post-infection, including asymptomatic ones

@Rocket_Worm My dad has decided to travel the world and now he wants everyone with him. I'm three black sheep because I won't go along.
English
@Rocket_Worm Yes, same situation. I'm close to a freeway. The lowest I can get is 450-60s.
English
@envidreamz @1goodtern No testing = can't be covid. Covid went away in 2022, didn't you know?
English
Me screaming in the background “why is it never covid?!” Getting zero responses 😭🤣🤣
English
Everyone in these chronic illness groups including obvious ones like Chronic Sinus Sufferers and Dysautonomia groups after a “bad flu,” “a cold,” or “stomach bug”:
Describes cold or flu like symptoms and all these random health issues they develop immediately afterwards and if someone even mentions “Covid” it’s instantly “NOT COVID!!”
English
@Rocket_Worm This and hyperspending. It makes me really depressed and I'm surrounded by it.
English
@CarnivoraCC I think not perfect is still good. My daughter passed a qualitative test in the mask she wore for 2yrs in school. No covid but she failed a quantitative test. I think more of us are out here surviving in masks that aren't great but reducing risk still helps.
English
Shame (still don’t know why)
Panic (that I wore a non perfect mask)
Sadness (I loved that mask)
Anger (also don’t know why)
Guilt (couldn’t attend a fit test earlier)
Relief (there are masks who fit me)
Anxiety (the new masks are so expensive)
2/3

I know masks work - even if they are not perfect.
How I know this? I attended a mask-fit testing & my mask failed badly.
I still had no Covid. I still felt extremely safe with my mask - that’s why a fit test is so important.
Yesterday I felt 1000 emotions 1/2

The truth people don't like to talk about is that empathy died at "You can take your mask off because only the elderly disabled and immunocompromised will continue to die from SARS"
☾@karefreekeri
The lack of empathy in the world is truly astounding.. what happened to putting yourself in other people’s shoes? Can you imagine? Could you even make it or withstand if it was you?

@cdtwriter @TheTrueJasonM As a parent who is doing my very best to protect my kids, my blood boils when I hear accusations of child abuse for choosing a different path for them.
English
@heysugardumplin @MeetJess 🫂 I imagine I will be in the same boat soon. There are no 100% safe options as parents and at some point our children will want to experience "normal" life. Testing often and having air purifiers to prevent spread within the home is what I am planning if/when the time comes.
English
@StillMask @MeetJess Now daughter is 17 and wants to do and experience things that young people do it’s become even harder to protect her or myself.
English
@MeetJess @heysugardumplin I do the same with my youngest. She's 12 & still goes on almost all field trips, bday parties, etc. She masks and we eat before we attend events. Her friends accept that we mask and don't question her. Next year she starts middle school. I'm apprehensive abt how it will be.
English
@heysugardumplin Mine is still small so she « listens ». But I make sure to explain why we do what we do. But I also allow her to do a lot of fun activities with her friends .. she just does it masked. To her it’s become no big deal .. I try to really maintain a balance now. I had to.
English
@SarahMcGinger Omg yes. For nearly every special event, my dad or MIL will mention how they'd really like for all of us to celebrate in a restaurant. And they all act like something significant has changed about the pandemic. The only change is that they think it's ok to get covid.
English
@chantz_y Yes, exactly! While I don't love wearing my mask, I've gotten used to it. The denial and gaslighting are what make this so hard.
English
@zzzsandmann @jossyoursalad69 They do. Or they think there will be medication for them if it happens.
English
@jossyoursalad69 I wonder, do people really think they are different? That they are the lucky ones immune to this virus and its long term effects?
English
We don’t talk enough about the burden of knowing the risks and watching our friends/family live completely recklessly and feeling like you’re just watching a ticking time bomb where the people you love will inevitably likely become disabled just like you + you tried to warn them
Justin Lee@DailyJLee
For a lot of people it’s only a matter of time, long covid
English
@jossyoursalad69 This weighs on me A LOT. There's a lot of guilt too. I wonder if I had just given a specific piece of info, maybe I could've reached them. I tried for so long. But w/the grief of knowing they will probably be impacted, there is also frustration bc it is also a wedge btw me & them
