47. "ALLOWED" themselves

Wed Jan 12, 2022, 11:09 AM

Jan 2022

Whatever.

I live in the most progressive part of Brooklyn and people here have been getting it left and right. While masking and boosted. Because we live in a society of people and even with precautions this thing is so contagious we can get it.

My vaccinated and boosted friends had much milder symptoms than my unvaccinated friends. (A family member has covid pneumonia right now... and he was not vaccinated.) Luckily he's doing well and recovering at home.

But there is no moral lapse in getting sick. It's an airborne virus that is super contagious. Unless you live in a bubble, you're going to get exposed to this thing.
