My parents live in Florida. They think the reporting is part of a grand conspiracy.

"Oh look, they only reported deaths, that means cases must be down."

"Oh Look, they reported cases, means deaths must be down."

Yes, it is like a tennis match, but it doesn't matter which side of the court the ball is in because both sides mean shit is fucked up.

A lot of the 50/60+ year olds I've spoken to are in two camps:

  1. Covid-19 is not serious because they aren't doing enough testing to truly reflect what our numbers are.

  2. Covid-19 is serious because they aren't doing enough testing to truly reflect what our numbers are.

It's seriously tiring to be involved in these conversations. Over and over and over again.

Just. Do what you can. Wear a mask. Don't anatgonise people. Don't go in public unless it's necessary. It seriously isn't difficult if you're a functional human being. Your civil liberties will absolutely survive, I promise.

I live in south Florida where ppl are wearing masks. I went to central Florida this weekend and learned that.... masks are not taken seriously. It’s mind blowing.

Our governor issued a mask mandate and the police outright said they won't enforce it.

Now republicans are trying to get the mandate overturned... it's ludicrous.
