For a meal at a restaurant
a cocktail at the bar
and the illusion of normalcy
hundreds of daily deaths
are an acceptable trade off
at least to those
who are confident that they
will never be counted amongst
those hundreds.
@plaguepoems Mind boggling. I am a Twitter refugee. People there posting comments about "how careful they've been", only to contract COVID. In each case, when asked if they dine in restaurants, take planes or attend large events, the answers have been YES. These are not normal times and the average Joe+Josephine doesn't want to accept the fact. COVID was never over since it started and has grown to to selfish ignorance+religious mysticism.
