The urge to give a novel human pathogen more opportunities to mutate in order for the collective society to not be reminded that there's a novel human pathogen out there might be worthy of more psychological unpacking.

I'm in Arkansas. Few people have the latest vaccine, if any vaccine. Went to the retinologist, a packed waiting room, maybe 50 people in a small space. Only we had masks on.

Get to Dr., and he's wearing a mask, and gloves and has shielding up around his equipment.

A short conversation about masks ends with "Covid, and Conservatism are in a race to the death. My money is on Covid lasting longer."

I could not agree more!

Instead, I’m in therapy to stem the tide of anxiety because no one cares about the high risk people. It’s like we are invisible and don’t matter.
