#Covidinfection

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

I opened my Facebook today, and 2 more people I know (that I don't see irl) have #COVID19. One person suspects they got it on a flight even though they masked (but didn't mask during multiple social encounters and in public during their vacation smh), and another person (who also tested positive for strep) went to work despite their symptoms (unclear if they #Masked ) for 3 days before finally getting tested - meaning they likely infected multiple co workers.

That makes 5 people in the last 2 weeks that have openly shared that they have #Covid. One of those people masks regularly (though I believe it's a cloth mask).

On a side note, my parents and sister went with my 1 yr old niece to a restaurant last night to meet my 2 cousins for dinner. One of whom almost died over the summer after their second #CovidInfection. My cousin can't drive and is mostly confined to her home due to her chronic illnesses, so I can't help but be angry with my family for putting her and themselves in danger like this.

These are the same people who don't seem to understand why I won't fly home to see them despite me regularly explaining why and offering to send them masks to try to encourage them to #MaskUp in public.

Is anyone aware of a graph in existence that charts the #COVIDinfection rate over the course of the pandemic (actual rate and/or modeled rate)? Would be helpful to see what is the highest & lowest infection rate we've seen over the course of the pandemic, & how the seasonal infection rate changes or stays the same over the years. Going into our 4th winter with this is so f'ing infuriating.

Warning: Twitter link

This person who seems to have a lot more people on their side than I do is going up against the #antimask #COVIDdenial #eugenicist policies of Commerce Bank twitter.com/Helenreflects/stat and I really hope they can successfully sue the place for #discrimination and make an example of them so that places like the shitty credit union that discriminated against me and gaslighted me about it will be put on notice. #CovidIsntOver and #Covidinfection is no joke. Being forced to remove your mask, no matter if it's "momentarily", is a risk that nobody should have to take.
