After reading a few books on different virus in the 90's, I was worried, am worried about contagious, lethal viruses that could eliminate populations before we could register the threat.
I feel so embarrassed to have been a part of a global failing against a virus that could have been and still could be entirely stiffed with international support and co-operation and individuals pushing themselves to contribute by any means to ending this crap.
Instead, people have used the virus as a proxy-civil war that they think they want, but truly, truly would suffer incredibly for.
That said, they are a minority, so many people have made incredible sacrifices to keep the plates spinning during this non-sense. I don't consider wearing a mask at the grocery store or work to be ... anything. I really hated going in public like a bank robber at first. I had anxiety going into places at first. Now - all black with sunglasses. Fuck it, I danced with my cvs group after getting my first moderna shot.
Pot would be way less fun with scarred and under inflating lungs.
Stayin alive.
I will not earn my darwin award this way.
