It's amazing how much damage 2020 did to the psyche of millions of Americans.

It's made me no longer feel that my job is secure. The way they were "mandating without mandating" vaccines was very concerning and its important that I don't forget this. Developing a 2nd income stream is crucial

The Reddit Zero Covid community will make you lose whatever faith you may have left in humanity

Those people are just lost causes . Not other way to say it

I ventured over there after your post. Wow, those people are literally insane.

Here are a few gems;

At least once a week my partner and I find ourselves in a situation where we ask ourselves, "Are we the crazy ones?" We still do curbside pick up of our groceries, passing a parking lot full of the cars of maskless folk going into the store to do their shopping. We drive by restaurants that are full. When we were lining up for our bivalent boosters this week, we were the only people in line with N-95's. At least a third of the folks in the line were maskless and were handed a blue surgical mask by the nurse checking appointment times before they could enter the clinic. Our friendship circle has narrowed because so many of our friends have stopped masking. Some believe covid is over, others feel it's inevitable that they will catch it and they might as well have as much fun as they can in the meantime. So thank you for this community where I can go when I feel my confidence wavering.

I know exactly how you feel. We are the same.
We have basically lost all of our old friends, because they don't mask, and don't understand why we won't do any indoor activities with them. Luckily, my kids are used to masking, so when we're out on a walk, or at the park, it doesn't bother them that they're the only ones masking. They're used to keeping their distance from people as well.

My education up to PhD level was paid for by the taxpayer, which is now no good to anyone since I can't work, as I'm disabled by long covid. I was triple vaccinated, not in a risk group, fairly normal guy as far as I know.

This is not a virus we can live with. Zero covid is the best solution. Australia and New Zealand prove it's possible while retaining democratic government

The husband is coming back tonight from a conference in Vegas. He was of course the only one masked, n95 Aura. He didn't take it off at all and ate in his room. He bought the Ikea air filter with him for the hotel. He's so far testing negative, PCR tomorrow morning and masking up at home for a bit. Probably our most challenging thing so far.

A lot of stupid in this thread.

1. I don't want my employees getting covid.

2. I don't want my business shut down by a covid outbreak that will cost me money.

1. you dont own a business

2. if you did, thankfully you don’t, COVID wouldn’t be what shut it down. An incompetent spineless owner would.

Still quite a few people wearing them. Most are women of a certain ethnic group.

I know what you are saying. It was obvious there was a fakeness and a political agenda regarding much of the Covid hysteria especially among younger white dems. Saying that, older black people truly were and some still to this day, terrified, not fake terrified, they truly are. I work in ems and even felt bad for them. Never forget walking into a clinic early 2021 seeing an approximately 70s black lady standing in front of the door in tears because she was scared to touch the door. I opened it for her and of course and she was very thankful. I noticed the same in stores, older black people scared to death of people around them, heartbreaking. It’s a shame the media and white democrats pushed so much fear in them.

In Shreveport there were some local black people who weren’t politically driven who spoke out about the detriment shutdowns would have on black youth in our area. Shreveport was already bad but is now in a free fall since the shutdowns. Those people were quieted very publicly and quickly.

Are you saying the mRNA shot was a vaccine?

I believe YOU, have no idea what a vaccine is. They can change the definition, but it’s still doesn’t make it a vaccine.

I see people wearing masks, even sometimes alone in their car. The only talk I hear about it is from people discussing how much misinformation was touted as gospel.

I'm sure it is true that some are still dying from complications from that virus. Elderly people are susceptive to many things.
