This is why I can’t understand hexbear comments.

liberals believe it no longer exists

Who said Covid no longer exists? Except some deluded right-wingers who never believed it existed in the first place, everyone knows it still exists.

Are you wearing an n95 in every indoor public place? If not, your actions say that you no longer believe covid to be an issue. In your mind at least, because covid only affects the old and young and disabled and the poor, it might as well no longer exist.

Life is not black and white as you are trying to make it out to be.

Not true. I know I could get it and suffer. But I no longer wear masks because the probability of that outcome is low, compared to the 100% probability of inconvenience with wearing a mask (fogging up my glasses, for example - I’ve never been able to stop that problem).

I also know the next time I get into a car, I could be in a very serious life-altering or life-ending crash. But I still ride in cars. Because the odds of a serious crash like that happening are low, and the convenience of riding in a car far outweighs that probability.

Everyone has to gauge their own risk levels for events and decide for themselves what is appropriate.

Do you wear a seatbelt? The sooner you admit to yourself that you’re a eugenicist, the happier you’ll be.
