I am in no way making this an “all or nothing” thing. Use the best quality of mask, stay up to date with vaccination, try as hard as you can to maintain a safe distance but accept that you can get COVID anyway.

I have done and continue to do all of that shit yet got COVID from my kid sister in October because her school just lets everyone roam maskless and be right next to each other.

In short, do what you can to avoid infection but society is currently in a place that runs directly counter to those preparations.

It shouldn’t fucking be this way but our government (both this administration and the former one) is willing to throw it’s citizenry under the bus to appease those who can’t stand to wear a cloth over their face

No one gives a fuck on the state level, no one gives a fuck on a national level, no one gives a fuck on a global level to enforce mask use.

I am in no way saying not to lower your odds but again, barring draconian measures, one will get this shit eventually.

This is far from the ideal but that’s reality

The fuck can he even do? (Even when taking proper steps to protect himself)

No one wears mask anymore and wearing N95s constantly doesn’t guarantee not catching it if you live with other people, especially kids who go to schools who have zero interest in preventing the spread.

Unless you have the luxury of living by yourself and completely isolating, you will catch this shit eventually.

That is not defeatism, that is fact
