Isabella EckerleIt's great when people who are sick test for #SARSCoV2. But when they tell you not to worry because they tested negative: I don't want that other virus either!!! If you are sick with a respiratory illness: Stay at home & get some rest (for you and for others)
Tom_Huth@EckerleIsabella 👍 In addition we should recognize. Japanese have been reacting responsibly for years, masks have not only been a standard in public since COVID-19, out of respect for fellow citizens. That's a cultural difference. It is a kind of courtesy, respect and responsibility for fellow citizens. It is inspiring to learn each other's cultures through an international marriage. Here we have something to learn. Masks definitely reduce that we spreading respiratory viruses.
Lady de Lancelevee@Tom_Huth @EckerleIsabella I have to agree we can learn a lot from the Japanese!
suph@Tom_Huth @EckerleIsabella When the pandemic hit I honestly thought our (german) society would learn a different take on infectious deseases. That masks and higher hygiene standards would get normal. In contrast it feels like a general "being sick is no issue if you are strong. If you are not "strong"... sorry, that is your personal problem". I really do not get it.
@suph @EckerleIsabella Yes, my impression too. We started well, but then we gave up. Not pretty. When we now hear how badly COVID-19 affects our bodies with every infection, it will only be a matter of time before society has to pay the toll. Namely, when we have to bear the burden of many long-term ill people.
Consideration and caution would be appropriate.
