Indoors in public, all the time.

I don't want to catch COVID again if I can help it. It's a shitty, dangerous virus.

TBH, I don't think most people understand that it's not just a bad cold--it's a virus that attacks your vascular system that also does some nasty respiratory stuff. The increased risks of heart attacks and strokes after even a mild infection are not great, and if you're getting infected every year, you're permanently carrying that elevated risk.

Yeah, like, there are plenty of people out there with long COVID. I have relatives with it. I have coworkers who are on leave because of it. About 5% of the US seems to have activity-limiting long COVID at any given time: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/covid19/pulse/long-covid.htm

Shit's bad.

The site is the first recommended news source in this community's sidebar. Don't know why you'd be surprised that it appears here a lot.

I think that people are really hesitant to talk about when they're having a hard time, never mind admit that they might be lumped into the 'disabled' bucket.

We're, uh, not great about how we treat people w/disabilities in our society. Having something that is 'supposed to happen to other people' happen to you is rough.

Consider forming or finding a community that you like better.

Personal and general purpose: KDE Neon (yeah yeah)

Servers: IDK, now. Probably going to check out SUSE.
