whenever I post about covid on my instagram stories I wonder what goes through the minds of everyone who watches them, all the people I know who no longer mask or take any precautions (and haven't since early 2022, at the latest). do they think I'm crazy? or do they know what I'm saying is true, but it's easier for them to ignore it and keep partying themselves into an early grave? did they think I'd have given up on this by now and gone back to ~normal~ myself? Are they surprised and annoyed that I keep on talking about the ongoing pandemic? much to think about
