At this point, I know maybe 6 or 7 people (8 if you include me) irl, that haven't been infected with #Covid19.
Every time I tell people I've never gotten #Covid , they seem shocked.
All the people I know who are #Novid do at least 2 of the following.
Not spending time indoors unmasked around others that aren't in their "bubble." If they do see people outside their bubble, they try to do stuff outside. If it has to be indoors, everyone must #MaskUp when inside
Don't spend a lot of time in public places indoors - especially when there are crowds.
Having common shared agreements about #CovidPrecautions with the people they do see unmasked (usually about 3 people total - sometimes less - and it's pretty much always the people they live with).
#Masking in public using high-quality and well fitted masks (N95/KF94/KN95) - everyone I know who has remained Covid free is doing this.
I've watched basically every single person I know catch Covid, some of them multiple times, and it gets harder for me to comprehend how myself and others are screaming from the rooftops about #LayersOfProtection , yet they're still not #MaskingUp.
It's honestly just exhausting at this point because not only can the social isolation get you down sometimes, but I'm also just tired of seeing my friends get sick.
A trust is broken when I watch people I love refuse to do something as simple as wear a #Mask to protect others from #Covid.
Like - people keep saying things like, "How can we get out of this hellscape?", and it's just - its really as simple as making sure you #MaskUp.
Literally, that alone centers community care and solidarity and is a very simple action item that protects yourself and others.
Instead, the same people I know claiming they're against #Facism and #Oppression , and say we can never trust the government (which obviously yeah), just dropped masking completely as soon as #GenocideJoe began the #VaxxedAndRelaxed / #LetItRip approach.
We can't have any kind of #Revolution if yall can't put on a mask.
I wish I had a bubble. I just get to be alone all the time, with no one anywhere seeing me at all, much less people who take safety precautions about viral transmission. Nobody around here wanted to be my friend even before Covid, and now it's just been so many years... why even bother trying anymore?
Me too, but what can you do? Just trying to show people how wrong it is to live like they do around here. You could glass the whole west coast, and nobody would even notice until the bombs reached their own car, and their own house.
@cy I've found a covid safe activism group in my town - but I live in a bigger city.
I've noticed a trend that I don't always SEE alot of covid safe people around cause many of us are isolating - but when I put on an event (did a covid safe movie screening last month with masking, and testing required along with monitoring CO2) - people come out.
I hope you're able to connect with some fellow covid safe folks ♡
I do agree a lot of people seem to just be so fixated on themselves lately and it can be discouraging - but we are out there. ♡
The one time I caught a coronavirus I'd been fully vaccinated, so exactly what determines "covid safe" is hard for me to identify. What I can say is that disease spreads faster when people travel long distances to spread it, and isolating from those people and/or discouraging them to travel will slow the spread of pretty much any disease, or other invasive species.
There are other ways that might offer some protection, a vaccine if you can afford it, testing, wearing a good mask, and avoiding large crowds and poorly ventilated spaces. But I think focusing on gathering together locally, minimizing global exposure, would really help in a lot of ways. The people near you are just, right there, so why not tribe together to better weather these global storms?
