Boomers are going to lose it if covid messaging comes back.

Also this isn't the last pandemic ever nor will it be the worst.

I know since I had the 'rona I seem to catch everyfuckingthing and then instead of shaking if off it clings to me for weeks.

Wow, that's a great wee read. It does seem like they only talked to an ED Dr in northland and an Auckland uni immunologist, however...

I won't be supporting the next lockdown or mask mandate.

I can't believe we live in the timeline where people proudly admit they WANT to spread disease. Good thing there's absolutely no link between covid infection and brain damage!

So are level 4 lockdown is cool with you?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No but if you're sick wear a mask to not spread your germs, if you're worried about catching something wear one as a precaution. Seems like a pretty decent course of action : )

Yes. If it stops people I know from dying or losing loved ones, I'll stay home. I will however expect the government to step up and make sure people and businesses have income during the lockdown. A few weeks of being inconvenienced is not the same as someone's life.
