Listen I understand that things come up and sometimes you need to go out and about when you’re not feeling well and I know this is going to come out mean because I’m angry and I don’t want to be mean but I do think we should start publicly shaming people for being around other people/going to work meetings/ attending events and so on while they’re sick and without a mask on it’s honestly not just inconsiderate it is a threat to my and the immunocompromised people I love’s health and I honestly don’t care that it’s not covid it’s strep or pneumonia or any number of illnesses that I’ve heard from people lately who have decided that they can go places without a mask while sick as long as they took a test and it’s not covid, I’m not even really talking about a stranger as a human entity that will inevitably not care but the people who I am friends with who I’ve helped calm their child down while they were a newborn and screaming the people who I’ve spent time with for years and lately just seems to not care about anyone but themselves it’s incredibly frustrating and I don’t want to be complaining like this I want to be supportive to everyone no matter what but I do think we should be able to require them to watch mister Rogers or something so hopefully they will learn their manners

#this is one of my best friends and we work together and over the last like six months she’s had multiple serious illnesses some of which #she’s passed on to me because she’ll hang out with me and won’t tell me until long into us hanging out or me just talking to her at work or #something that she has bronchitis or pneumonia or mono or just that she is sick and doesn’t know what it is #and usually she’ll say oh but it’s not covid I took a test and it’s like ??? sorry do you think that’s the only fucking contagious illness #that exists now? like i know it gets a lot of the media attention but you realize that you’re putting me in danger #she has called me her best friend I have helped pick out her child’s name I babysit her child I support her when her husband is a jerk and I #would honestly just like the respect of caring if I get sick or not #im sorry I’m just angry it’ll pass #this time it’s strep and I’m ignoring how today I haven’t been feeling too well because I will be so much angrier if she has gotten me sick
