One of my best friends is a pediatrician and regularly tests kids and has positive patients. Well this morning he got a positive results and while speaking to the mom, told her the whole family needs to quarantine for two weeks and she flipped out saying she wants to live her life.... and this is why we are here. How long has this been going on? AND you still don't get it that you need to quarantine to stop the spread that you are carrying? I hate people sometimes.
It's the same everywhere. People, generally speaking, are selfish. It's human nature, and situations that cause mass strife like a pandemic or hurricane tend to exacerbate these selfish tendencies we have as humans. In some ways, I think it's instinctual, especially in extreme circumstances like we are in now. And make no mistake, we are entering a significantly bad period right now. Yes, there are vaccines on the horizon but widespread distribution (never mind adoption rates that will very likely be south of 50% in the US) will be the beginning of the end of the covid-19 era, but things are going to get a hell of a lot worse before they get better and EVERYONE has a choice to make. Be part of the problem, or be part of the solution.
If you're walking around with your mask down below your nose and rolling your eyes at all the public health mitigation steps that are being strongly encouraged by infectious disease experts worldwide, then I have news for you: You're not just part of the problem. You ARE the problem. That's not directed at anyone here, it's just my opinion. I see people walking around in my gym no mask, they don't wipe anything down after they use it. If that's you, then yeah, you are the problem. It's a lack of common courtesy and respect for the people around you. Fuck everyone else. <--that mentality permeates American society and it's fucking nauseating.
