Someone I know who is chronically ill recently contracted #covid because a healthy person she trusted didn't tell her about being at an indoor event.

They both got COVID. The healthy person bounced back. My chronically ill friend? Now sicker than she ever was and no way to know if her downturn is long term or permanent.

That's what it's like now. If you're already chronically ill the world is a dangerous place and healthy people generally DGAF.

@brianvastag sadly you can even catch it outdoors, you never know if there's a super spreader around... I've been disabled for over two years now thanks to an outdoor transmission. (Also antigen tests aren't sensitive enough to determine whether someone is contagious, which is why we've pivoted to PoC-NAT testing. More expensive but still affordable and what's left of my health has infinitely more value anyway)
