While the general response to COVID-19 is already infuriating for so many reasons, it’s especially frustrating to see people think it’s “OK” to get it since they’ll probably “recover”.
It needs to be drilled into people of all ages that “recovery” is terrible terminology. Congratulations, maybe you didn’t die but you still may very well develop lifelong conditions that really screw up your body and your lifestyle (and, if that’s not enough, consider the healthcare costs).
Furthermore, if a person’s only complaint about pandemic rules is their “inconvenience”, it’s time to grow up. No one owes you convenience, and this is definitely the point in your life to figure out how to do what’s better for society. Put on a mask. Follow the rules. And learn more about this, from actual health professionals, not politicians with mile-long track records of lying.
- closeparen 6y agoIf you live alone, "follow the rules" means "do not come within six feet of another human being any time in the next several years." That is a heavier psychological burden than most people will ever carry in their lives. It doesn't serve anyone to trivialize it.
- switch007 6y agoWell put! These preachy “just follow the rules” kind of comments garner lots of upvotes but completely underplay what it means to be human.
