With the ongoing #COVID19 pandemic and #H5N1 deadly Bird Flu on the rise, let's review what we have learned over the past 4 years.
You are on your own.
No one is coming to save you.
No one but your friends and family will care whether you die or become permanently disabled.
Your employer cares more about their bottom line than your life.
Use your brain and the best tools at your disposal (masks, distancing, good ventilation, etc.)
Science deniers, anti-maskers, and conspiracy theorists will scream like toddlers and should be ignored.
Government and business in your country will benefit long-term from data obfuscation and risk denial (ignoring the problem means they don't have to spend money on it).
Assume the worst and act accordingly.
Don't give in to peer pressure - your life is on the line.
Arm yourself with the most recent scientific data and stand ready to combat ignorance when it rears its ugly head.

@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?

@shansterable what I really need to know is, in the event of another global pandemic, what measures have been put in place to stop smug, out of touch celebrities singing 'Imagine' at us?

- Humans will continue exploiting animals for momentary pleasure until it wipes us and every other species off the face of this planet due to zoonotic disease, biodiversity collapse, or the climate crisis.
