Amazingly seemed like my more and more violently coughing midde class family is starting to get disillusioned by the status quo, all had been sick before Christmas with novid obviously. Most of my leftist points were met with comments like "I agree" with glances from depressed and weary eyes. Even my comments on how this virus will end us if we keep this up. That is new.
Boy did the kids especially make me sad though. One 9 year old said when I said their cough sounds pretty bad that "I cough like this all the time now".
A few months ago I realized whenever I saw my nephew he was practically always coughing.
Yeah, it's soul-crushing. This time I was however finally able to have the "covid is not over" talk with the mom of said kid when in the summer of this year she still ripped my eyes out when I very calmly said I don't appreciate people showing up sick to family gatherings when covid is not over. Then I still got the partypooper treatment.
It's very sad and depressing that we have to do this the hardest possible way with the most harm possible, but here we are.
I feel like people don’t even believe germ theory anymore. Most friends and family act like I’m insulting them and calling them dirty if I ask them to wash their hands before playing with my kids.
Alright but how do I convince my stupid hippy boomer dad that covid is real and that people actually died?
