It’s been surreal watching the country just collectively shrug about covid. A lot of my friends and family stopped giving a shit about it and are now in “oh well. If I get it, I get it” mode. I’ve had multiple people tell me some variation of “you can’t live your life in fear” because I was wearing a mask lol. I feel like I’m going crazy
Straight up. During Omicron, my university president had an emergency zoom call to the students and one bit of advice (besides the handwashing and six feet apart stuff) was “to put your mask on between bites”. That about summed it up for me. A money racket as big as a University during the fastest spreading virus the world had ever seen (i think omicron won that title) and 2000+ deaths a day in “the richest country in the world” could only help me by telling me to put my fucking mask on between bites.
The other weird aspect about it is that people have politicized it to the point where they are reaching for their guns in response to covid measures.
