#covid Just sitting by a path and two young people jog by. One says “I can’t believe she got Covid. Does anybody even get that any more?” The other says “Does that even still exist?”
@mgoggie , bulletproof until they're not.
@mgoggie @cstross everybody reacts like that, not just young people… last year I got covid, bad, at a trade show. Told one of my colleagues and he had that exact same reaction: “wait, Covid is still around?”
@otolithe @mgoggie @cstross Come travel back in time to the USA where **MEASLES** is still around!!

@otolithe @mgoggie @cstross

At least in Germany, the COVID prevalence _is_ drastically lower than it has ever been since the initial year. So it's not surprising that people get careless.

@mgoggie

95% of people learned nothing from the years of acute Covid pandemic.

Ventilation? Masking? Staying away from people when sick? Nah!

@mgoggie Someday these same young people will be running the planet. I hope to be dead by then...

@mgoggie
They are going to be so shocked by the next pandemic.
So.
Shocked.

Me :1968 pertussis sequelæ ; several brushes with TB ; I *know* how badly Rabies prophylaxis hits me, and get refreshers when appropriate.

Reminds me to check the Anthony Nolan (leukaemia, bone marrow) database has the right address for my immune profile.
