❦ Covid Conscious friend’s 40-year-old partying brother gave Covid to their 80-year-old parents. 

Mother: spent three weeks in the hospital.

Father: went into hospice, and died this morning.

Forty-year-old brother never went to hospital nor hospice to visit, because “they’re old”, and “what can I do anyway?” He remains maskless.

Co-worker who got Covid along with her father at the family reunion... Covid+ father passed out and was found unconscious in his home. Suffered an acute kidney injury; wears a catheter because he can’t ever urinate on his own again; is now in Palliative Care.

Co-worker suddenly can’t remember being sick with Covid, nor her father having had Covid and passing out... and is now telling people that he suffered a kidney injury from a slip and a fall.

Colleague says on a virtual call:

— “Now that the pandemic is over and people have recovered...”

She’s been coughing non-stop since July, and can’t figure out “what I’m allergic to”.

Friend posts a picture of a box of KN95s [ear-loop FFP2 respirators] that she purchased online with the caption, “Going back to masking. Got them ready. People protect yourself.”

Then for the next three weeks posts maskless pictures at a Patti Labelle concert, a wedding, a birthday dinner, a congressional party... I asked her when she’s going to start using the masks that she posted on Facebook.

— “When the president mandates us to.”

How many people have you talked to about Covid that have had an “Aha moment”, and immediately starts wearing a well-fitted mask and adjusts their behavior long term?

The part of the brain that controls emotions like empathy is damaged. The part of the brain that controls cognitive thinking is damaged. Troll behaviour is at an all-time high because people are triggered by you protecting yourself and them.

How incredibly bizarre is this behaviour, and almost everyone who is living in this world at this time!
