someone posted and deleted a tweet about testing positive for covid but still attending the eras tour. people are incredibly selfish. remember this when you decide to attend superspreader events, eat out, etc. they're risking the lives and long-term health of those around them.

a lot of the covid conscious ppl i know on this app talk about taylor, swifties, & the eras tour bc it's one of the biggest events happening rn. concerts are superspreaders & ppl are attending them knowing they're sick & exposing those around them - and so forth

and no masks. concert goers could get sick, spread it to those around them, and so it goes. the chain of transmission. people exposed could become seriously ill, disabled with #LongCOVID - even a "mild" infection can lead to it - or die.

we are all vulnerable. it doesn't matter if you're young, abled, and/or vaccinated. viruses don't discriminate & it's foolish to underestimate the damage they can do. we know covid causes multi-organ damage, heart attacks, strokes, etc.

"i'm vaccinated!" is not an excuse. vaccine immunity wanes. we also know this. covid is constantly evolving. it's worse than ever. the vaccines we have aren't as effective. a vaccine only approach is insufficient. masks - N95 respirators - are effective & variant proof

taylor - and any big artists touring rn - could literally just tell their fans to mask up (aka practice basic community care & mitigations in an ongoing pandemic of an airborne virus causing a deadly disabling disease that we're all vulnerable to). she's not. she's complicit.

her fans literally worship her. i've seen how swifties defend this woman. it's concerning how they excuse her behaviors. anyway. a simple message - or hell even easter eggs! i hear she has lots of those - to her fans to test prior, stay home if sick, and wear a mask would help

i need you guys to consider the ppl who live in the cities big artists tour. they're the ones that have to share public transport w/ unmasked crowds of concert attendees who just came from a superspreader event. & pls consider the chain of transmission & give a shit about others

your life and long term health isn't worth temporary pleasure. you know what? it might be for *you* but not the people around you who don't consent to being infected with an airborne virus that could literally disable or kill them.

wear masks consistently in public. the pandemic is ongoing. it doesn't have to be this way. you don't have to be complicit in the spread of a deadly disabling disease. you're not invulnerable. it's airborne. we share the air. give a shit. be actively anti-ableist. mask up.
