    Where I live we had a “susana distancia” for like 6 months and the state I live in never had any kind of mask mandates so I have literally not seen a single mask since 2021. I was surprised to learn there is a movement asking people to wear masks still

    There is, because COVID is not over, and we need to be mitigating it. Do you seriously think that was enough to quell a global plague with every country utilizing inconsistent mitigation strategies, if any at all? Have you bothered looking at the statistics since then? Do you know what this disease does, and why letting it run rampant is a bad idea? It is not just a “cold” or a “flu,” even with vaccines. Why do you take your government’s word for this phenomenon, but distrust them enough to know about left organizing? This is truly baffling to me.

      No

      Have you bothered looking at the statistics since then?

      Also no

      Do you know what this disease does, and why letting it run rampant is a bad idea?

      I do but I can’t conduct a public health response by myself

      Why do you take your government’s word for this phenomenon, but distrust them enough to know about left organizing?

      Putting words into my mouth, I just learned about it and am surprised. I support it, cálmate.

      I live in the middle of fucking nowhere, in the sierra la esmeraldas. It isn’t really an issue that I have a lot of control of here.

        Is it too much to ask for to not contribute to COVID minimization then, if you acknowledge that you’re not familiar with the facts?

        How do you think movements start? Someone’s got to do something or nothing changes. Why can that someone not be you?

        Also no

        I’m not putting words in your mouth, you’re telling me here you have noticed but don’t care enough to do something about it. If you think this is an insurmountable wall to action, I have some bad news about any other sort of political revolution.

          The world is a vast place and I’m extremely busy with my family and local issues. I’m sorry I can’t learn about every issue that matters to you right away and that sometimes it takes time to learn and understand things. I’m in my mid 40s and COVID wasn’t a big part of my life especially location I live in. I actually support your position but the two people that immediately started hammering my inbox was actually frustrating.

          You are agitated about this and this conversation is unproductive. Disengage. Please block me. I’ve already done so.

            • Ok whatever. I really don’t care. I blocked them. I’m disengaged. I didn’t even disagree with them and was told I am indifferent and it went from 0 to 100 for no reason. . All I did was… not research and get obsessed with COVID? OK sorry, I literally agreed with their points and have started wearing masks. I was literally asking if the guy was shaming for wearing or not wearing masks.

              I’m not going to be a strawman to vent at, this person took my well meaning and not confrontational posts and went ballistic. I have other things to do, you have fun with that. I’m think for my own sake I’m going to start blocking the instance now, I’m not interested in participating and will not see the response. Mods are free to delete.

            I am agitated because indifference like yours kills people like me, and continues to do so to this day. Block me yourself.
