OOF 😓

I'd be so mad & scared if I were Angie and had brought all my kids to this event which was COVID exposed... hope they all have been vaccinated.

[fauxkaren]

Are all her kids old enough to be vaccinated? Are the twins 12? Am I old?

[melancolour]

I have no idea lol Angie's kids are like covid, big old mystery around how time flows with them

[marzipanism]

They are 13

D:

Ew, is that woman on the premiere pic wearing that ugly black and white bow dress from the met gala?

[aleksie]

I'm glad they canceled but I'm tired of people doing unnecessary in-person stuff. Sports, these celebrations.

I also learned that an acquaintance, fully vaxxed, got COVID and had be on oxygen. Luckily, he seems to be okay now. He's not young, but that's exactly why the fuck we as a society need to be careful.

People really think it's over, just earlier I saw an acquaintance post about going to their first "post covid wedding". Our impatience will only hurt us in the long run.

I'm still amazed how people are being, when they have more at stake than I do.

I live alone, I'm thin and have no pre-existing health conditions to my knowledge, and I'm no kind of caregiver. I see colleagues and friends who live with others, who are caregivers for kids or the elderly, etc. and it's like the pandemic ended.

For real. We had our wedding a couple of weekends ago, but kept it small and had everything outside. (OUTSIDE outside, not like "hermetically sealed tent" outside.) But one of his siblings had a large indoor wedding in July, and another is planning a huge indoor wedding for next year. Sometimes we feel like we're crazy, like we're the only ones being told that COVID is still a thing? Everyone is just so impatient, and willing to pretend like everything is fine again because they want to "get back to their lives."

I mean, I'm immunocompromised so I have to take it more seriously anyway. But even knowing I have health issues (lupus) some of his relatives have been really dismissive of that in the past, a lot of "well, this is just the new normal," and getting annoyed when we don't want to go to their indoor parties or meet them at bars on weekend nights. I'm glad you able-bodied people feel so confident, but a night out at a bar isn't worth MY life, so...

if it HAS to be in person, why didn't they require masks inside? seems like an easy compromise.

[myhipusername]

Mte. Outside I’m a little bit more relaxed about the masks but inside I’m not taking it off! We know it’s one of the most important things we can do for protection and one of the simplest… smh

[xdaisyxlovesxbb]

i feel like a lot of people have gave up with masking. its feels like a free for all with it.

i personally dont take my mask off any time until i get home or when i'm eating/drinking.

[jinxeh13]

I wear my mask all day at work, I only take it off when I close myself off in a separate room (that no one else ever uses) by myself for lunch. I drives me crazy how I always see people without their masks on (like our janitor, who I'll see like mopping the lobby without a mask) because "well, I was the only one in that area at the time" but it's a public area that others have to walk through? You throwing your mask on when you see them does literally NOTHING. It's insane to me that after almost 2 years people still haven't grasped this (or else just don't care).
