Lol it’s not like I went around spreading it, I didn’t have one on hand and stayed home until I did. Appreciate you passing unsolicited judgement tho!

If you don’t mask with a high quality respirator everywhere, you most probably did spread it, hate to say. In the least, to people in your building before symptom onset.

Yeah lol they don’t wanna admit they could’ve killed or disabled someone. It’s really not that unlikely especially if the building has more than 100 people.

I would bet money that something you've willingly done or failed to do has been part of the chain of causation that led to someone's death or injury. That's just an inescapable part of this horribly complex, interdependent society we've built.

Breaking those chains of causation or attenuating their effects requires interventions that impose negative consequences of their own. Sometimes they're worth it. Others not.

Not something that would take max 5-10 mins of passive time and could directly have odds of 20-30% chance of disability and 2-5% of death. I can confidently say that. Through indirect mechanisms and 5 dependencies, sure maybe
