you know, maybe i should form a truce with the folks i know that are very covid-conscious, because practically speaking we aren't so different. i never stopped habitually masking and i'm pretty happy to say i have not had a noticeable covid infection the entire pandemic afaict
but at this point it's very hard to believe that's actually because of my safety practices and not because i got a very good roll on the immune system base stat
i guess my masking habits make it less likely i'll asymptomatically infect people around me? that's good i guess?
on the other hand, and yes i know this will probably cause some of you to explode but do remember i have lived in sweden almost all of this time: i have probably only taken maybe two covid tests in my entire life. it is very questionable to me if they are actually useful
it would be interesting to take a rapid antigen test every day for a year to prove a point but i am not that masochistic
i don't know why i said “truce”, i was never “at war”. i think i just need to unfollow one or two people
i guess if i don't say what i think people will make inferences i don't like, so: in my opinion we'd all be in a better world if public health authorities went very hard on masking and ventilation and soft on everything else. they staked their credibility on the wrong things
read “ventilation and filtration” for ventilation there. also by “went” i mean “had gone”. feels like they used up all their goodwill and aren't getting it back
