I can’t get over this. I can’t get over the fact that the White House has chosen to let this spread unchecked.
Reducing the quarantine window to five days is GOING to increase spread.
Having infected doctors working is GOING to increase spread.

Gaming this out I see a huge economic crunch in 2022 as we are attempting to come out of this but get hit with a wave of long Covid like nobody has ever seen before.
Many smaller companies will finally close for good, or sell to larger conglomerates.
Ultimately capital wins.

(This is the point. Capital doesn’t care about humans, capital *adjusts* to things like mass disabling events. Yes, some people will lose everything - capitalism expects that.)
Biden saying it’s a state issue moving forward, these new policies guaranteed to spread Covid… what was it all for?
You self-centered motherfuckers are just going to infect all the vulnerable people anyway, and capitalism will launder it.

And the worst part is that everyone engaging in riskier and more deadly behavior will be looking at you like you’re crazy if you point it out.

A friend made a choice re Covid safety that I found so irresponsible that I scaled back our friendship, and a part of what they said was “I know you’re traumatized but…” and like no, that’s not it.

The worst part isn’t the people suffering and dying all across my neighborhood. It’s not even my partner’s new debilitating Long Covid situation.
It’s the constant gaslighting from everyone from the president to my friends to strangers about this.
We are in different realities.

I’m just screaming into the void at this point.
Just, I don’t understand how ANYONE could have lived through the past five years and not become a political radical ready to take drastic measures to save the world.
And yet.
