There were lots of people coughing and such everywhere I went. Burger brainworms plus fancy-rona having a field day it seems.

I honestly don't know. I assume it's ignorance, they don't know how ineffective the surgical masks are. But I see people chin diapering, too, so I really just don't know. The general public is as distant from me as I am from Sag A. I honestly have no idea at all what normal people think is happening.

Also, faint line on my rapid test today. Still +pos+

I wonder if the latest strains are, idk, more virulent, or something. A number of people who are very diligent about masking and precautions have caught it while travelling, mostly from family. : p

Or I guess maybe we're just getting sloppy five years in. I think that's what got me. I'm going to be more insistent that any restaurant meal must be outside or I won't be eating.

Reading this hits different the morning after getting sloshed in a friend's yard and realizing they brought you to a crowded restaurant after. I hate alcohol, I hate america.

I was literally just talking with that same friend about how neither of us want to get covid again :(
