I really hate what I've learned about my friends and acquaintances over this pandemic. I hate that I've learned who's willing to ignore public health guidelines, who's okay with cheating to skip the line, who's okay with pressuring family to do the same. It's just so...grubby.
Especially since my social bubble is so very privileged. Let's face it. The majority of us are in good health with cushy jobs. We can afford to stay home. We can afford to wear high quality medical masks. We could afford to wait the extra month for a vaccine. Besides, a month or two is nothing compared to how long many countries are going to be waiting.
I can somewhat understand why people act this way, especially if they're pushing their loved ones to skip the line. But I can't help but feel it's this view of "I get mine" that is so ugly. And for what? A little more freedom a couple weeks early? What's the point?
