She was talking to my wife yesterday, and she was livid that the wife goes in stores without a mask and isn’t taking the pandemic as serious as she thinks she should. She said she has been having nightmares about the virus and can’t sleep at night.
She’s white, 51, in good shape, eats healthy, works for the government, so she is home and doesn’t have to get out, and lives in Albuquerque New Mexico.
I get taking coronavirus seriously and being careful, but at some point people have to get out. We cannot just live inside forever. For many people, they have to return to work now if they are going to make it. For many small business owners who have been forced to shut down during this, they have to open now, or they’ll never be able to return. The thing is, someone who is employed by the government can’t quite understand the plight of those who don’t work for the government because most government employees have continued to get paid during this.
Like I said, I understand be cautious, but we have to resume our lives at some point. A person can be cautious, but still resume at least parts of their lives. If we have to wait until there are no cases of coronavirus in existence, then we will never return to normal.

I think a lot of this is a type of virtue signalling for attention. Oh look at me I'm so scared. Someone please give me some attention. It really is ridiculous

She is a supreme narcissist. These people dont dwell on or really even give a second thought to people losing their lifes savings over this. They have blocked out any good news on treatments, real mortality rates, etc because it doesnt feed their inner narcissist

The common thing I’ve seen with all Coviders who scold others for working or not locking themselves inside for the rest of the year is that none of their paychecks are affected. Every blue check mark journalist on twitter, every politician, every Karen on Facebook. None of them feel this at all, none of them are paying any kind of price for this. This is basically a free vacation for government employees, so of course they will want it to last forever.

I think her fear is genuine, but I’m surprised she was willing to share that with my wife.
The SIL likes to come off as a hard arse.

i kicked a hornet's nest yesterday saying we need more spread, especially in the low-risk populations

Have you not heard of the otherwise healthy people in their 30s and 40s who are dying of or becoming debilitated by strokes because of COVID-19's tendency to cause clotting in large arteries leading to the brain? These are people who sometimes aren't showing any other symptoms and thus don't realize they are infected and should seek treatment. This is just one of many ways we're learning that COVID-19 has devastating effects on healthy people's internal organs, leaving them with permanent damage even if the initial sickness itself isn't much to write home about. There are simply too many risks (some as yet unidentified) to immediate *and* long-term health for this approach to be in any way viable.

I have an acquaintance the is a loss-prevention officer. He made a post of FB the other day, basically pissed that a customer "rolled her eyes" when told they couldn't use the exit they wanted to.
I gave him a ton of shite. I offered to buy him some Midol until his hormones are more regulated.

It is as simple as this, we cannot stay in our houses and commit suicide as a country.

My 92 year old grandmother gives zero fricks. Figures if she survived, polio, measles, mumps, whooping cough, and all the other shite that could kill you in the '20s and '30s, she can survive a weak arse flu.
And my wife, being Filipino, doesn't even consider something an "epidemic" until a good 4 to 5% of the population has died, so she has no clue why everyone is freaking out about this stuff.

I dabbed in atheism for a few years.
It sucks to believe in nothing. I feel like it leads to an all manner of identity issues and overall mental health issues. Not to mention atheists can be insufferably intolerant.

She is that. When she’s drinking wine and a little tipsy, she’s insufferable.

My liberal, tree hugging, atheist, sister n law is having nightmares over Covid
Yeah, I am having similar issues... Of course mine is a RN and works in a surgery center, which was closed because of Covid-19 (non-essential surgery) - she bitched about not being able to work, now she is bitching about having to go to work...
She keeps the MIL stirred up which in turn results in calls to my wife, which stirs my wife up, which in turn makes shite miserable for me... My wife is not scared of the virus, she just gets frustrated when her mother calls and tells her how her sister said we should all be acting and living under rocks and shite...
Unfortunately, there is a segment of this society that we would be much better off living without...

Monty: "Doesn't really say here."
Harry Doyle: "Well, he should be."
