#Coronavirus

We are so overdue for another lockdown

[burningcomputerpersona]

you ever go someplace and realize ppl seem to be treating you a lot nicer and wonder why that's the case only to realize later on that the only thing you changed that day was that you weren't wearing a mask

like i knew some ppl had negative experiences while wearing a mask like having strangers go out of their way to cough in their vicinity and whatnot but i never experienced any direct hostility like that so i thought maybe my area was just nicer or i was just lucky

but nope it turns out ppl are a lot friendlier and more willing to approach you and perceive you as friendlier too if you're not wearing a mask and i just never realized it until now bc most of the time i always remember to wear a mask outside

idk how my being asian might impact this since that's not really something i can take off like a mask but i do know lots of ppl see covid as the "chinese virus" so maybe that might have an additional effect that i wasn't aware of too

anyway i'm still gonna be masking in public places either way but it's still something to think about

If covid wasn't a serious problem, people wouldn't try to hide the fact that they have it when they happen to get it.

It's almost like something happened in 2020-now that is causing these problems.

CDC finally fuckin' recommended the new COVID boosters for everyone in the US. letting my american followers who don't check the news know because i've been turned away for wanting to get an extra booster & now won't be anymore & it's Lovely. most americans are not going to get these and are going to grumble about them, which sucks as far as spread goes - but DOES mean u can schedule with ur local pharmacy sooner rather than later. please do so. ur immunocompromised friends and ur own body will thank u.

In honor of finally losing my winning streak and getting COVID for the first time ever:

"Do not comply in advance" this is what we're talking about when we say that. This isn't 32 year olds who like disney kids shows "let people have fun" level "disk horse": This is how fascism slowly creeps in, the "well this is just a problem forever now" instead of calls to action.

Great news for uninsured adults in the USA who want a COVID-19 booster! It now appears that ALL CVS locations are now active participants in the Bridge Access Program. The Bridge Access Program gives out free Covid-19 vaccinations to 18+ adults who otherwise can't afford one, so if you have a CVS near you, please go get one! For others who don't have a CVS near them, please go to vaccines.gov, click on "Find Covid-19 vaccines", fill out which vaccines you prefer (you can mix different vaccines if you have to so i reccomend just marking all of them for the age groups you need), and when the next page loads mark the "Bridge Access Program Participant" option to see only locations that are Bridge Access Program participants. Hopefully, other places that aren't CVS will start participating soon, so just check back every so often to see if there are any updates. The CDC Bridge Access Program website also has more details on what locations will be participating, but only CVS is appearing as an active participant on the vaccines.gov location finder at the moment.

When those in power constantly lied about the little things, it isn't hard to see why people have tuned out--and even questioned whether masks were even effective against the virus.
