I know it bothers more than a few people, but I just don’t care about Covid. If I’m sick I won’t go out and infect others. I’m not an asshole. And if someone wants me to mask, I will. But the harms have been overblown (like most new things) and the effects are similar to other viruses like it.

That doesn’t mean they are nothing, mind. Covid really harms some people both physically and psychologically. But I’m just not going to upend civilization to deal with a relatively mild virus. The world has bigger problems and we aren’t even upending civilization for those. Why should we for Covid?

If the Covid true believers had not said crazy shit like Long Covid would be world-ending, perhaps more people would be on their side. But it’s clear they are just butt-hurt that Covid didn’t end capitalism or something. Word to the wise: that was never gonna happen.
