Welp, my most immune compromised roomie brought Covid home, now everybody but me is testing positive. I am now masking at my desk, and elsewhere. I am so mad I could shit a brick. The only "good" thing is that my spouse is not on chemo, but on hospice instead. So she has a semblance of an immune system, but still.
Read this, and stop listening to the right wing idiots minimizing the problems from Covid:

I get it, you're sick of the pandemic. Well guess what, so am I.
But I don't wander around refusing tiny little shots or not wearing decent masks. I don't try to bully others into giving up and letting nature take it's course, possibly killing me or my housemates, or worse, getting long covid and being sick for the rest of my life.
It's trivial, really, to get a couple shots, the needle is really tiny, it takes maybe 20 minutes, 15 of which is the standard "wait for 15 minutes to see if you have an abnormal reaction".
But so many at-risk people refuse, thinking their abused "immune system" that they call "healthy" will save them. The Reddit subreddit r/HermanCainAward is full of the death of these clowns, many of whom leave behind young children.
I don't give a flying fuck about your "freedoms". In a society like ours it is a civic duty to protect the health of your fellow citizens from an infectious, airborne, disease. If you don't want to be a part of society, then you need to move into the boonies or keep your plague ridden ass home.
Is it really so hard to wear a damned mask? I used to have a job where we would spend all day in a fucking respirator, with only a few minutes outside for food and drink. Are the anti-mask people really that weak? If so, why are they even going out at all? If you "can't wear a mask for health reasons" like you can't breath, then the last thing you want is Covid Pneumonia, which fucks up your lungs, your heart, and even your kidneys. So stay the fuck home.
If everyone in the world had done actual lock downs for 4 weeks, with only emergency medical, police, fire and essential utility people going out in full PPE, we might have controlled this thing. But no, people are too fucking selfish, so now we have even more infectious variants and an assload of long covid.
It's becoming endemic. That doesn't mean we can stop masking, or forgo vaccination. I figure I'll need two shots of covid vaccine every year for the rest of my life, and masking will be automatic because of all the idiots who just don't care about others and think it can't happen to them.
