It’s not human to human …. Yet. If we as the people take precautions, we can help flatten the curve but that takes an army of empathetic and dedicated people.

Which we won't have unless a LOT of people are dying, esp. in the rural communities where the, "you aren't gonna tell me what to do" attitude reigns supreme. I'm just not seeing enough of us maskers rn that would be enough to flatten any curve.
Ash, you’re not wrong. Most of this country is in a cult. But, you just focus on your corner of the world and encourage empathetic people to stop eating out, social distance, and mask up. That means even on a Friday when we want to eat indoors with folks. It’s a no. Assume we are in lockdown.
Im masking out of the house. I dont go out to do stuff except grocery shop. I fully expect people to be dying of this by this time next year, if that long. Im terrified for all my grands
Im getting extra food, I expect a lot if foods to be contaminated soon as well
Me too. Blue Colorado. I've learned that Blue is not synonymous with empathy. Not even when you're standing in front of your closest friends (masked) telling them that you have an immunosuppressing medical condition. Nope, not even then.
Maybe this is why you brought empathy into the landscape. Empathy, to me, is second nature, it goes without thinking. For so long that’s been synonymous with progressive thinking.
I guess we’ll see.
I hold hope for humanity. But it’s going to take some expanding beyond self centered consciousness.
You’re not wrong to not have hope.
We just saw what happened.
But individually we make the difference. Don’t eat out, don’t put yourself in positions to increase risk and that’s a huge positive play on your part alone.
I've been cautious like that since 2020. Watching everyone give up masks and passively participate in eugenics kind of killed my hope, even given the small difference I make. Maybe humanity will surprise me but I doubt it.
I absolutely love that you’ve not taken a step back from protecting yourself & others. I really hope you see what a commendable gesture that is for humanity & self love!
At the end of the day, I hold hope because they’d rather I didn’t. Brown woman. They want me to be scared & give up. I refuse.
