Re: Ever feel like people have gotten weird about illness since the pandemic?
(Anonymous) 2024-10-12 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)A lot of idiots just assumed "it's just like the flu" (IOW, they didn't take the flu seriously either) and decided to go on spring vacation when the outbreak was fresh. Oh, and in the US, they went to red states, where transmission levels tended to be higher (because MUH FREEDUMBS). And even after businesses shut down or limited their hours, the idiots were STILL having unmasked get-togethers at their own residences, regardless of their health, and spreading shit like plague rats.
And some businesses only did the bare minimum because they would be shut down otherwise. The moment lockdown was lifted (IMO, was a little early), there were businesses in my area who were like "fuck masks, and if you don't like it, fuck you, don't come to our restaurant and HOW DARE YOU COMPLAIN." The fact they were able to stay in business is really disappointing and only shows how much people value their own free dumbs over not killing someone else's grandma.
Sorry, I'm still fucking mad at America (even though there are plenty like me who followed guidelines to the best of their ability). I know that's my problem to get over.
Re: Ever feel like people have gotten weird about illness since the pandemic?
To be fair to the US, up here we also had the asinine "Freedom Convoy" of fake truckers, and huge conspiracy disinfo movement that lead to things like the CBC interviewing an antivaxxer next to his dying, pregnant wife who still blamed the government for not "making them believe" that COVID was real until he lost his wife and future kid from it.
And to be fair to the conspiracy types, we did know many of the announced public health measures were wrong/ineffective, very early on in the pandemic - only in the opposite way of what these people were suggesting. The CDC being in denial about airborne transmission for the first two years cost tens of thousands of lives and likely injured or sickened millions. And not for the 15-minute cities or great reset or whatever we're calling antisemitic paranoia these days, but for the corporate interests/profits/"business as usual".
There's also Sweden where the government knowingly spread misinformation about childrens' covid susceptibility to get kids back in school to stop "burdening" their parents with childcare and had deaths massively in excess of the other Nordic countries as a result (https://time.com/5899432/sweden-coronovirus-disaster/).
Sadly, they're right that the government lied to them, but not in the way they think they are.
