Uzi Bobuzi on Nostr: I went downstairs to receive a food delivery and ran into a neighbor I've been on ...

I went downstairs to receive a food delivery and ran into a neighbor I've been on good terms with for many, many years.

She said she'd been sick. I asked her if it was COVID. She got so mad. Gestured in a circular motion to her face around her nose and mouth (I wear a mask in public, always) and told me I needed to stop with "all this." Then went on a rant about how they'd made COVID all up. I told her I knew people that had had it, one friend had had a stroke when they had to intubate him. She told me that a cold could do that.

I tried to remind her that millions had died, and it was the worst pandemic in living memory, and she cut me off and stalked away.

We're at the point now where people who've actively had at least one COVID infection are denying it like a tinfoil hatter about the moon landing.

This is the exact reason I will never go out in public unmasked again. People are spreading airborne plagues and refusing to be responsible by masking when they're ill.

Why am I a misanthrope? This is one of many reasons.
