There are few people during this crisis that make me angrier than those who intellectually master all things COVID — “The latest study!” “Today’s numbers!” — and then live their lives in a way that perpetuates that very reality they fret about.
It’s like — spend less time smashing the RT button on the latest great Atlantic article and more time ... not going to an indoor restaurant.
It’s definitely a Real Type of person during Covid.
People who are borderline ~obsessed~ with Covid news coverage, but somehow create an internal narrative in which they themselves are not part of that world.
“Well, I’m just one of 330 million people,” the thinking goes.
🤮🤮

These people in my network are often well-educated liberals who are quick to blame Trump.
But they then use that policy failure as an excuse to do nothing in a personal capacity.
It seems obvious, but it’s somehow not: Our individual decisions drive the collective outcome.
