Short thread: 1/5
Something I caught myself on yesterday, which I really didn't like:
After learning of someone I care about testing positive, and others I care about being close contacts (and so, now, those people being in isolation) my initial reaction was anger.

Anger, as if it was someone's fault, as opposed to something that happened. Something unfortunate.
With everyone working so hard to do all the right things and be careful, it almost feels like a defeat if or when that doesn't end up being enough.

Being as protected as possible (vaccinated, for instance) and contracting or transmitting the virus isn't a moral failing, nor is it a crime.
It's simply a possibility, and sometimes, a reality, of living through a pandemic.
And yet, I was angry about the news.

I feel that one effective way the government has sought to deflect responsibility is to put the onus entirely on individuals to end the pandemic or slow/stop the spread of the virus.
Each of us can only do so much.

5/5
I'm mad at myself for getting mad at all yesterday, but thinking my initial reaction thru helped kill that urge to find someone or something to blame for what was ultimately just chance.
I, like everyone else, just want to feel like there's certainty where/when there's not.
