Time: Covid Fear-Mongers Feel Ignored by a Public and Even a Biden Government Which Is No Longer Willing to Indulge Their Fascist-Leaning HypochondriaTime euphemizes these hypochondriac control freaks as "the covid-cautious." Covid cautious, fascism friendly. For all of 2020, Alex, a 28-year-old living in New York, followed the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) COVID-19 guidance "religiously." 28? And panicked about covid? Then, in 2021, something began to shift. That spring, the CDC said it was okay for vaccinated people to ditch their masks in most places. But people were clearly still getting sick--including Alex, who got COVID-19 for the first time in late 2021 and later developed Long COVID symptoms. Of course he got "long covid." It just always turns out that the hypochondriacs always suffer from the illnesses that doctors suspect aren't quite real. "There was this reckoning moment where it was like, 'Maybe the CDC is not being totally honest with us about the situation,' he says. "'Maybe they're trying to present it like we can go back to normal when we can't.'" You started out strong, then you went off the rails. [T]o Alex, it feels less like progress than an attempt to "wrap [the pandemic] up in a pretty bow" and pretend everything is fine. Today, he feels there are "very few" experts he can trust--a sentiment that reflects a growing rift between America's scientists and the COVID-cautious community, which includes people who are immunocompromised, coping with Long COVID, or simply trying to avoid the virus. Yes. Rich-bitch madwoman Taylor Lorenz shrieks about it all the time. She ostentatiously wears her mask when she's among the hoi polloi but then takes it off when she's around celebrities (minor league) and political notables (ditto). Apparently rich people have A Better Class of Covid. People who "are still taking COVID precautions seriously have every right to be angry about being abandoned by public-health officials and experts," says Lucky Tran, a science communicator at Columbia University. "The very real pain that many people are experiencing has not been sufficiently acknowledged." Time reports on the case of someone named "Mills." She has muscular dystrophy and reduced lung capacity, and fears that a dose of covid would hospitalize her. She lives in semi-isolation, with only her boyfriend visiting her. Tough stuff. But, she wants the rest of us to live this way. The rest of us who do not have any health conditions making us especially vulnerable to covid.
So we should all live as if we're in your shoes, Mills? We should all lock ourselves in an apartment so that you can... what? Would you then go out of the apartment? | Recent Comments
