The "Fuck you Covid19" thread

I'm starting to get funny looks now when I walk in some place and I'm the only one in a mask.

Fuck CoVID!
Same for me. I try to just ignore it but being singled out in public is a little intimidating. I do occasionally see 1-2 people still using masks and I imagine they’re in the same situation as me. Hopefully it stays as just funny looks.
 
Or maybe not?

What a fascinating projection...

Many of us with immunocompromised family members or are immunocompromised ourselves have different needs. I wholeheartedly believe everyone is doing the best they can with the information they have. So many people are still living in the shadows of this pandemic. They're not crazy.
They're forgotten.
People also don’t seem to realize that the immunocompromised have to worry about more than just Covid. Covid is just one (and currently the most prominent) illness in a long list of things that can fuck us up. Fungal, viral, and bacterial infections can cause a lot of complications for someone with a compromised immune system. And those that rely on immunosuppressants may need to stop their life saving treatment should they get any of those infections which comes with more complications.

One doesn’t need to know this or fully understand the situation to have empathy for others and respect their decision in protecting themselves.
 
Fuck COVID. I have a kid I can't get to go to school this morning due to mental issues that started during the lockdown.


I'm giving her the space she might need right now. After 5 minutes I check on her offer more things that might be useful. And the cycle repeats.

That’s got to be tough. My heart goes out to both of you.
 
It's hard to tell how much is real and how much is just wanting to stay in bed?
How much of the bad coping mechanisms did she learn from friends, the internet, me, or just bad instincts?
There's great days and shitty days, good and meh.
At least we're trending towards fewer shitty.

Thanks for the support y'all. I needed to vent,. I couldn't really talk with my real life friends about this.

That is so hard. I’ve had the same issue with one kid partly because of the pandemic, partly other stuff that happened. In our case, also something that was there already from the start - not wanting the change of leaving one situation for the next.
Our solution has been ”At least get up, eat and get ready and then we’ll see how you feel”, ”At least try going for a while and then you can go home if it still feels too much” and ”If you stay home, you spend the time at your desk, doing school work so you don’t fall behind”.

I hope you get through it soon! For us it got much better after entering the next educational level.
 
This year's Thanksgiving will always be remembered as the time when Covid came without an invitation. Last night my test showed positive. Covid sucks!
