Curious? There is still a pandemic going on. I personally could die if I get Covid, and if I don’t die, my disability will probably progress to the point that I’m no longer able to work and am house-bound if not bed-bound. Shockingly, I also want to live a little before I die. That means having a wedding where people are tested at the door. That means risking taking a flight once a year wearing N95s flying ON CHRISTMAS DAY and having everyone test each time we see each other. That means my partner (and myself) can’t see friends who are being very risky around covid, and I guess it’s hard to maintain a friendship with someone who isn’t committed to helping your partner…live by taking some precautions before they see you.

Yeah. The pandemic has been hell for high risk people and the people who care about us. We know our mental health sucks—we either stay indoors or take occasional risks (smaller risks than this commenter sounds like he takes on a daily basis) so that we can enjoy our lives a bit

Ah yes how dare immunocompromised people live and remind you of our existence instead of staying completely shut in our houses because people like you gave up on precautions so early we are currently in yet another covid wave with a variant that is more immune-evasive. How dare we plan weddings (where everyone is tested at the door), visit relatives for the holidays (while wearing KN95s, testing before we see each other, and flying ON CHRISTMAS DAY so that the plane would be as empty as possible), how dare we live in a city (lol got me there. I should live somewhere that DOESN’T have two of the dozen or so experts on one of my illnesses). For someone who is so concerned about my and my partner’s mental health, weird that you can’t understand us occasionally taking what sounds like a much lower risk than you take in your daily life to spend time with family and friends
