The only blatant thing I saw was trix calling out a group of people for being awful human beings. Shouldn’t your post about not belittling others for being scared apply the other way, too? Sounds good. I assure you there have been posts calling people 'scared' for being cautious. if you don't see them, then that's on you, not me.

Being cautious isn't the same as being scared. One is a well thought out plan vs an emotional reaction to something. Everyone has a different level of concern over the same thing. What works for one might not work for another but by no means is it because they are scared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 And regarding Trixie's post, she isn't wrong. Some choose to share far too much about their political leanings here and its not a good look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I get the “go out of you feel safe, stay home if not” but it’s very obviously not that straightforward. More community transmission increases the risk for everyone, not just people eating in restaurants or going to Os games. Again, we’re literally only another 6-10 weeks away from pretty high population immunity levels. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More community transmission increases the risk for everyone, not just people eating in restaurants or going to Os games. Again, we’re literally only another 6-10 weeks away from pretty high population immunity levels. This says exactly what I was thinking. This isn't totally a choice of doing something if you personally feel safe, a virus is a completely different animal. It won't only affect you if you choose to participate in some activity, that also could potentially impact others. I totally get wanting to "move on" in some manner. As I said, we all want to get back to some kind of "normalcy" and where case counts and transmissions (including the several variants) are way down and mitigated. I don't think any of us...regardless of views...really *wants* to wear a mask everywhere and not be able to do certain things. As for vaccine availability, if I heard correctly it should essentially be generally available for all (i.e., not just certain groups or ages) by mid-late May? And the amount that's available is increasing rapidly as well. Definitely good things! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 1c and just heard via my work that MD residents can now sign up if also 1c. Here in VA? crickets It has been frustrating to have been considered essential, required to show up to an office every day, waited a year and be one of the last groups eligible. Happy for all that have been able to get it but your end of WW2 analogy is spot on. The analogy I've been using lately is the cop movie where the main guy and his partner go out on one last call and the partner is about to retire(I am retiring in July). The partner gets killed in a hail of bullets and before I go its the virus thats the bullets for me. So I'd love to get the shot and not be that hollywood cliché Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
