Well…after going without a mask out to the grocery store the past two weeks, it looks like that is over again for the time being…it appears that there is a new Omicron variant that is spreading fast across the world and I am going to go back to taking the precautions that have worked for the past two years no matter the dirty looks I get from the right wing assholes who think they get to make health decisions for me. We have set up this country for another surge by ending all of the mask mandates and any other mitigation efforts that have been working for the past two years but I am still going to protect myself since they have discovered brain damage in some people who just had mild cases of the disease and I really don’t have a lot of brain left to give at my age….I did read an interesting article about the pandemic fatigue that happened with the 1920 Spanish flu epidemic where they just got tired of doing anything about it after two years and gave up and did nothing to stop it’s spread….just like today, people are tired of the pandemic and just want it to be over and are going to act like it is over no matter how many people are still getting sick and dying….but not me…back to the masking….
