I think we’ve reached the limits of consoling with “I’m so sorry you got Covid, hope your case is mild and quick”

a lot of cases will not be mild or quick 🤷🏻‍♀️

The sympathy I want to hear is “I’m so sorry you got Covid, I’m going to wear a mask more often in public spaces and try to talk to my work/school about improving indoor air quality, the more people who advocate for system shift, the sooner we decrease how many folks are risking injury and death from this preventable disease”

I wish I could say I want what you want. The reality is that I’m tired of banging my head against a brick wall. I got Long Covid in the first wave and have been masking in public 💯 ever since. Begging for others to help protect me from reinfection so that I can go to appointments or grocery shopping without risking my life. Waiting for people to give a 💩 as they see increasing numbers of those close to them fall ill.
Those who don’t care at this point will likely never care. 😔
