You get used to it.
Personally have grown to like it.

They're a bit annoying to wear if you need glasses but other than that, I have no issues with them. I wish people still held their distance, though. Lots of people here seem to think that it's either or.
Glasses fogging, or too much on the ears? Not really sure why liking them so much. Have definitely gotten used to them. Recently was scratching behind the ear, absent mindedly picking at something wondering what's this crap behind my ear? Then thinking, oh yeah. :laugh:

The fogging, mostly. The reusable ones are especially bad.

The numbers are going up again. The government is finally talking about proper restrictions now, only a year after everyone else.

I feel very lucky to live in Western Australia and not NSW or Victoria.

The authorities have now officially ended the remaining Covid restrictions. It's too early - not enough people are vaccinated and when people gather in crowded restaurants football games and movie theatres, the virus will strike back. My guess is that the number crunchers convinced the powers that be that the collateral damage is worth it.

And since it's been more than six months since the older population got their shots, the virus is again making headway in old people's homes.

It's sort of sad. A few more weeks would probably save lives.

That's where we were a couple months ago. The predictable results predictably happened.

It's not really a new normal for me... I'm used to my isolation, I just hate that people tend to crowd into my thoughts when I'm trying to kick their stupidity, and bullshit out of not just my life, but my mind as well.

This is a message board, not a ouija board  :zombiefuck:

The curve was pointing in the right direction but is now flattening out. Give it a week or two and it'll start going up again.

Now that I've been infected I'm just not gonna give a shit about Covid anymore. I'm not gonna pay it any mind, everyone at some point in their life is probably going to get it anyways

You probably should, though. Give the virus enough space and it will mutate again.

It's got space and will mutate no matter what.

There was almost no means of stopping it entirely.

Yes, you're right. With enough people vaccinated and careful, it will mutate more slowly, though.

And now there's a new Variant.  Omicron. I find it fascinating it came out of Africa, Coronavirus seems to be something that isn't going away anytime soon

I've zero fucks left to give for the unvaccinated.  Omicron is scary if you're vaccinated, but for the unvaccinated it's really bad news.  If someone is still unvaccinated out of choice then fuck them and the horse they rode in on.  I just hope they drop dead before they pass it on to people who don't deserve it.
