There is a lot we could to prevent constant reinfections, but no public motivation to do so

Um capitalism? Wonder how long before Liberals realize hey are as expendable to the ruling elite as the working class. But even if they did realize I think change scares them even more than the status quo.

    Like I told the other commenter, you’re right, we should promote masking. I’m definitely a billion percent pro mask advocacy. I’m just thinking out-loud if possibly a systemic approach might sound better. But it’s all just empty pondering from me. And I’m mostly just questioning my own point of view, I wouldn’t judge comrades so harshly for so little.

    no one who’s refusing to mask is going be out there fighting for filters and whatnot

    Certainly. I’ll edit my comment.

      I mean, no worries, we’re just chatting. fidel-salute-big

      I’ve been spending a lot of time over on /r/zerocovidcommunity and it’s become very apparent that just getting people to mask isn’t the answer the either. There’s a pretty non-insignificant number of folks over there who are just chomping at the bit for an opportunity to abandon this new community they’ve found themselves forced into. They’ve gotten a taste of the alienation and abandonment that immunocompromised and disabled folks have been experiencing and rather than learning from it and seeking solidarity, they’re begging their politicians to realize they’ve made a mistake. They think they’ve been accidentally forgotten, their ignorance of capitalism and neoliberalism hiding from them that they’ve been abandoned to rot with the rest of the expendables.

      Edit: forgot a word.
