You're trying to put words in my mouth that I didn't say. I do think it's a good idea to stay at home while ill, personally I even wore a mask the first day after having the flu when going to the store. But right now basically everyone I know is having something, whether it's the flu, COVID, or the common cold. You can stay inside while ill, but you can't just stay home the moment you have some minor cold symptoms. Life goes on, at some point you'll need to work and get groceries etc. We should take precautions, but we shouldn't panic for every minor cough.
Once more, I don't know the full context of the people in the image, so it's very hard to say anything.
It's about "a night out." You ... you know what a "night out" is, don't you??? And that it's not an essential part of life? Not something you should do, even when experiencing minor symptoms? You agree with me on this?
If not, then I'm not "putting words in [your] mouth." If you think having a night out while symptomatic is acceptable, then you are saying exactly what I think you're saying, and I'm right to call you out for having such a shitty selfish belief.
If not, then maybe you can clarify this. Because the post is not about getting groceries (which, for the record, you can mostly order online and pick up/have delivered anyway).
You wore a mask for one day when you had the FLU? Jesus fucking Christ.
