i haven't even been taking my phone with me while walking the dog because i didn't want to disinfect my phone twice a fuckin day so there's like one photo of a bike being devoured by morning glory vines to signify the outside world still exists

Uhhh…disinfect your phone? How exactly do people think Covd-19 spreads?

Do people think that the virus is an entity with agency, like a swarm of hungry mosquitoes, latching onto likely targets? I really get the impression that’s how people think the virus works.

If you walk your dog outside and use your phone to take a few photos, unless you present your phone to a definitely-infected person and have them lick it, your chance of getting any sort of infection from your phone is like 0.00000000000001%. Or less. You’re more likely to accidentally poison yourself with whatever you’re using to disinfect your phone.

How do people get like this?
