The phrases “during covid times” and “during the pandemic” drive me bonkers because hi babes, it’s not over. If you mean the lock down period, say that. But covid is still very much around and mutating like a motherfucker, so if you care about the immunocompromised people in your life for the love of god take some precautions and stop acting like it’s done. The effects of covid are far-reaching (for e.g., I’ve been told I have to be “past this covid cough” to have abdominal surgery or I’ll “tear everything open,” like sir, I don’t really have much of a choice in what my lungs are doing now or how long it will take for them to calm down, if ever). Those of us with shitty immune systems aren’t “scared” for no reason. If you’ve ever gone from “perfectly healthy” to “need a steroid shot to not die” then you’ll understand.

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

#we’re not in a post-covid world kids #we’re very much in a ‘this IS our world now’ world #you probably *should* be afraid of the effects of multiple infections #i put partial blames on the shitty medical infrastructure in the U.S.#so many people have to puff up in the face of sickness and act like it isn’t a threat #because they don’t have health insurance and it’s how they fool themselves into getting past medical issues #having your insurance tied to a job is one of the cruelest yokes #or tied to a spouse #Medicare for all now #UBI for all now #this country… it is beyond fucked
