@shansterable nope. Most friends and family also didnt give a shit, but this was no surprise because they didnt give a shit about much else either and it was only a matter of time before I kicked them all to the curb. As a leftist (a leftist, not a liberal lol) I had already beefed with most of these people for decades, and COVID was the nail in the coffin.

Now Ive made a new family, and am working on new friend groups, and so far so good. We understand science and history, we are medical and tech professionals, and we are NOT giving up on protecting one another.

We will mask for the rest of our lives, and should have been masking long before COVID. Why did americans and westerners never try to stop vulnerable people from catching every nasty thing that came around seasonally? Why were we not masking before, and why was there racism aimed at Asian travelers who would mask seasonally?
