I have a pod of covid safe people. We were going to do something outside next week.
- one person admitted they were around unsafe old people
- one person admitted a snotty kid came to christmas
- one person admitted some coworkers were out sick

There was absolutely no guilt-tripping, no lying about exposure, and no bullying. We just, as 3 sane adults, decided to reschedule and went back to communicating by memes. No one is pretending "everyone has a cold". No one is having a depression meltdown.

All it takes is, "This is high risk, call back in 2 weeks?" "K."

I don't know why this is so hard for everyone else.

i work at Popular Coffee Chain and i rung up a woman and her friend today. she first said that she liked my mask and i thought she was being genuine, but then she broke out into fake, heavy, loud coughs, barely even covering with her hand. she stopped when she was finished being rung up and moved down to the bar area and sat in the cafe for 15 minutes without a cough in sight. why are people so cruel? i'm trying to protect myself and my IC partner why is that her reaction? i don't really cry much but i feel like i want to now. i'm still here on my break. i just want to go home 😞
