It feels like a health supremacy test that in order to get the Covid vax in the States, you have to admit you’re high risk for Covid complications (which everyone who’s had at least one infection definitely is). So, if you can’t admit you’re high risk, you won’t get vaccinated, which puts you in anti-vax territory. Maybe you’re not really anti-vax, but to admit Covid is a problem is to acknowledge your role in its continued spread and mutation, which is why we need frequent updated vaccines.
Them: “Why are you wearing a mask? Are you sick?!”
Covid can spread without symptoms. I may or may not have Covid at any time. *You* may or may not have Covid at any given time. We could both be infected or not infected right now. Who would know?
That, dear heart, should scare you more than the sight of a mask. Or a respirator, which is what I’m wearing. Because I could possibly be infected and do not want to be responsible for getting someone else sick.
