There's a common pattern people follow as they abandon COVID-caution.
They start attending more risky events.
They may or may it catch COVID from attending said events.
They start talking about "balance" and mental health as if caution and mental health are incompatible.
They start blaming NOVIDs for their own choice to protect themselves until recently, claiming the NOVIDs made them do it and that it "destroyed" their mental health.
They project onto NOVIDs, saying they are hopelessly unhappy and nobody could possibly live like that and be mentally well. Often this is where the mental illness accusations come in.
They get angry that people call them out on their minimization.
They completely abandon precaution, often while harboring resentment and hostility towards NOVIDs.
The next step is where they get mad we "didn't warn them".
