And yet the world still turns. Everybody else has just forgotten it, and dealt with it if they caught it. There's lots of things in the world that are "sub optimal". Deal with it.
People are dealing with it. By wearing masks
Yeah, they want to deal with it by wearing a mask but their company won't let them.
Dude, getting caught in the rain without an umbrella = deal with it. Pretending there's not still a pandemic is foolish.
This is a novel virus and we already suspect it's fucking with people's brains and hearts in ways we can't detect. We have no idea what "long Covid" is really doing to people yet. For example, if you get chicken pox as a kid, you may get shingles as an adult.
For your sake I hope being flippant about this doesn't come back to haunt you.
Yeah. No real American would [blank]. And just because you think everybody wearing masks makes the country better doesn't mean it's a popular opinion. It's been 2byears since everybody mostly stopped wearing masks because they vaccinated. Please come to the modern day. Most people fucking hated wearing masks.
You went from one echo chamber to another. Just because the people around you agree doesn't mean it's actually the popular opinion.
Just because everyone else has forgotten it doesn’t mean the aware just have to shrug and forget about it. The average person is ignorant AF
