Curious? There is still a pandemic going on. I personally could die if I get Covid, and if I don’t die, my disability will probably progress to the point that I’m no longer able to work and am house-bound if not bed-bound. Shockingly, I also want to live a little before I die. That means having a wedding where people are tested at the door. That means risking taking a flight once a year wearing N95s flying ON CHRISTMAS DAY and having everyone test each time we see each other. That means my partner (and myself) can’t see friends who are being very risky around covid, and I guess it’s hard to maintain a friendship with someone who isn’t committed to helping your partner…live by taking some precautions before they see you.

Yeah. The pandemic has been hell for high risk people and the people who care about us. We know our mental health sucks—we either stay indoors or take occasional risks (smaller risks than this commenter sounds like he takes on a daily basis) so that we can enjoy our lives a bit
