Im staying home and logged on to protest mass COVID spread.

Let this be a megathread for those resisting being a plague rat tonight, whether your staying home or masking at events. You all are the real heroes.

      Wear a mask dog, like yeah individual is not as good as systemic but even if you save one life by not spreading COVID that is good. Its an airborne virus and masking is literally proven to stop infections.

      The only reason why I am still alive is because of masking, and other people masking. This shit of people refusing to mask has killed homies of mine and other people I know, and like mass masking is something that can be pushed at the grassroots. People are being ableist as fuck right now, but if there was a movement against ableism and COVID eugenics we would be in a better place than this “let them die” attitude that too many people are spouting.

      it’s just another one of the many infectious diseases humankind has with us now

      There are quite a few characteristics that set it apart.

      there is literally nothing any of us can do about it now.

      masking, testing, nasal sprays, cpc mouth wash, socializing outdoors when possible, and having conversations about these things with people we care about are some of the things we can do.

      Yeah if the governments of the world actually gave a shit and enforced a lockdown period then maybe it could be stopped but individually refusing to go outside is not fixing anything nor is socializing some inherently evil thing now

      I haven’t seen anyone say that there is a problem with going outside or that socializing is inherently evil. How do you feel about masking? It was conspicuously absent in your comment, which to me reads something like “because capitalism exists i am justified in thinking only of myself”
