COVID-19

[MusicLover1994]

I've noticed loads of people coughing and spluttering everywhere right and whenever I mention it to people they say it's always been like that and people "are only noticing it now because of COVID"... I feel like this is just not true ddd

It's also gross with everything that's gone on in the world in the past few years people who are sick can't just pop a mask on if they need to go to the shops or something, it's not that big of a deal. I work in a supermarket and the amount of people just coughing over everything (or their hands and then touching merchandise/shelves/etc). Yuck.

That’s actually always been the case when autumn September’s round the corner…

The thing about restrictions, though, is that they allow far right populists to use misinformation to gain followers. Has everyone not seen the insurgence of radical right wing political groups since the pandemic? You literally can’t win either way. I hate it so much.

See, this is exactly why my mama and I still wipe down as many groceries as we can. Ew.

Great, now my sister has COVID…

Most of my family back home are sick with a bad cold / Covid and they are all moaning about it. And yet they’ll be sick and go out and about without a mask on.

What’s not clicking? I swear people in this country are just stupid.

Just got my first booster in two years and it actually didn't affect me the next day at all. Pleasantly shocked since the second vaccine dose and the first booster WRECKED me.

I know this will jinx me haha but somehow even as a clinically vulnerable person (in UK terms this means having one of a number of fairly minor pre-existing conditions, as opposed to *severely* clinically vulnerable which includes people having chemotherapy or who have had donor organs) I still haven't had it, which I think is mostly down to just being a hermit. When I was interacting with people regularly I was testing weekly and I have never had a positive test, nor have ever been symptomatic. I wish my GP surgery would text me and let me get my booster/flu jab already though (around here anyway they're doing a combined jab thing), I always get nervous if I haven't had my flu jab by mid October.
