I've known three people who got COVID in the past two weeks. All of them posted photos of their events in the weeks leading up to their infection. Not one of them posted they had #COVID19.

I get tired of people saying "everyone's back to normal" and "I never hear of anyone sick." The social pressure for "normalcy" demands we share every crowded event and then hide our infections and illness.

If you're COVID-cautious, just realize you are not alone, no matter what your social media feeds show.

@augieray I am #COVID cautious. I'm mostly the only one with a mask in the metro, specially after reading about long COVID; it's just not worth the risk. But I forgot my mask at work twice.

A week ago I went to the first adult party in I don't know how long, maybe a year or more, and after a very bad year. To be 100% honest, I didn't even think of using a mask :(

This week at least 4 other colleagues and me are/were sick with COVID. My ex and 2 other families too, as half her institute.
