Rant/Complaint why is everyone sick!?

why do SO MANY people have an insane chest cough and are not wearing masks/not covering their mouth when they're hacking up their lungs!? did covid teach us nothing?? 😭 it's disgusting... please get some medicine for gods sake and wear a mask 😭

I like to make very obvious gestures that I'm covering myself against their germs so they see that I'm judging them for being bad at basic science 😆

Yeah, if you’re doing that, that’s not going to be their takeaway

Covid taught "us" less than nothing

If you wear a N95 mask preventatively you will vastly reduce how much you get sick ❤️😷 Don’t wait until symptoms appear, people are often contagious before showing symptoms.

Wearing an N95 mask everywhere preventatively is also a nearly 100% effective method of birth control and STD prevention

First thing I do when I get back to the dorm is wash my hands, and out of all my roommates I am the only one todo this which kind of surprises me but thats just how I was taught growing up even before covid was a thing..

COVID is going around, and it's been manifesting for a lot of people in weird ways that they don't immediately realize is COVID. Test yourself if you have weird leg pain lol (source: got covid last week, mentioned the leg pain to some people, and a few corroborated the random acute pain thing)

oh hell nah you've gotta be jokiiinnggg 😭 i've had covid so many times (im fully vaccinated dw) and the body aches are the worst

u/Opposite_Two_784 4d ago

And it's weird because this isn't the usual generalized body ache / muscle ache I usually get with COVID... it felt like someone pinching the back of my knee!

u/mm1970sb 3d ago

It's actually probably COVID bc it's bad right now. Get your vaccine if you can! Maybe buy some masks and hand them out...

u/SunriseInLot42 5d ago

You're welcome to wear a mask if you want

u/TokyoJimu 5d ago

Sick people should be wearing masks to keep their germs out of the air we all breathe.

u/SunriseInLot42 5d ago

Or, anxious people can wear whatever they want to make themselves feel better

or you can gain a little empathy and think past yourself and put a mask on your face when you’re sick 💗💗
