I remember a year off work, paid. Fantastic year for me personally, even if others were suffering

Same. Work and pay was decent, great games coming out, less traffic on the roads, and less interaction with people being an introvert.

Virus spreaders have been treated appropriately, and arguably less so than they warranted.

It's really sad that this line of thinking is somehow normal to just say out loud these days. It's wild.

People that questioned the efficacy and usefulness of vaccines were seen as a laughing stock and now people can just post this unironically without any sense of shame.

I both do and don't miss the earlier era of the pandemic.

I don't miss it, obviously, because a shitload of people died and/or got really sick and a lot of people dug their heels in hard about the most stupid things.

I find myself somewhat nostalgic at how much quieter things could be at times and the distancing at stores. The three straight weeks I got off of work initially was nice too and something I probably won't experience again for a long time.

I mean, the human body cleanses itself of antagonistic bodies and we don't question it. Maybe society needs to cleanse itself of antagonistic bodies like anti-vaxxers in ways I won't describe since flawed moderation policies would punish me for it.

Yes, how DARE people for not wanting to associate with plague rats!

Friendly reminder that vaccinating is the best course of action with any disease, regardless of somebody's feelings about that fact.

Everyone was spreading it regardless if you were vaccinated or not.

The real problem was letting people in our country to spread it in the first place..

Yep. Everyone who did not mask, not social distance, or get vaccinated, for instance.

Seriously. Shut the fuck up. Not only are you just blaming foreigners, there is also the fact that thousands and thousands of Americans were in other parts of the world when the pandemic started. Even with stringent policies, it would have eventually gotten here and spread.

Friendly reminder: being vaccinated reduces your viral load making you less contagious for a shorter amount of time. This is documented regardless of the feelings of people who want to blame foreigners instead of their anti-vax tendencies.

It was sad for the people that lost their jobs.

Certainly shameful for the people happy about that too.

Oh for fuck's sake, what a silly argument.

COVID spreading in the U.S. how it did was almost entirely the fault of Trump downplaying the virus combined with whiny idiots complaining that basic safety precautions were an infringement upon their "freedoms"

And the folks that destroyed/replaced vaccines and lost their jobs. And the people who got arrested because thy got violent over being asked to mask or leave.

Those poor Typhoid Marys.

Taking your own fucking advice. It's strange how people here can talk like this and the mods are ok with it.

Yeah I'm obviously talking about everyone out there so yeah it would have spread regardless which goes against the narrative at the time.

Vaccinated or not it spreads. So my point stands.

lmao it wasn't oppressive at all. A couple minor inconveniences and everyone lost their shit. I regret mentioning Republicans in the second part of my OP because it wasn't just them who were affected.

And yet I'm supposed to believe right-wingers will start a civil war, or that we'll stage a revolution if the GOP takes over. We couldn't even handle wearing masks and not going to large social gatherings for a little bit without getting traumatized.

I think you're being dismissive by calling it a couple of minor inconveniences. We had to do what we had to do to maintain public safety, but it absolutely sucked and some people were affected more than others. Why can't we just be considerate?

After the first few months of a half assed lock down, there wasn't really anything "oppressive" going on in America besides being required to wear a mask in indoor public places. You may have been discouraged from seeing friends and family in person but there was no actual enforcement of that.

It was a lot better for people in rural areas than cities. People who lived in studio apartments caught hell.

But in the American South the end of the restrictions came with widespread illness and suppression of information so I look at with nostalgia

i was working at a pharmacy at the time. we had like 0-3 customers die every year. in 2020 we had 20-25 customers die.

maybe old people dying doesnt matter tho, check with your local anti vaxxer for more info.

A lot of people lost jobs because businesses were forced to be closed. There were tons of local family owned restaurants that closed and could never recover from being forced to shut down their business. If you have no sympathy for that then you should fuck off.

Don't forget the disingenuous asking how much a covid victim weighs. Because only unhealthy people get sick dontcha know?
