Seasoning

People don’t seem to realize just yet that Covid is largely seasonal. When folks spend more time outside, Covid infections go way down. Then, winter comes, and infections skyrocket. Yet I continue to see shocked and puzzled headlines about this even though it’s completely fucking obvious.

Yes, this even applies to India, because when Delta swept that country it was monsoon season, when people spend much, much more time inside.

Nyctophobia

I wrote something similar to the below to a friend a few minutes ago.

I think a lot of people do enjoy living in fear. “Enjoy” is not the best word, but I cannot think of a better one just yet. They feel it’s comfortable, at least, and like it. Covid really exposed this, but I think there’s a lot of these types, and not just on the left: the preppers (mostly right-wing) are another example.

Man, I hate them.
