I'm glad you shared this. This has been a ditto mark of my own timeline of viewpoint on the virus.
I started off taking the leaked info from China seriously around Christmas time. I slowly started stocking up on food as soon as I saw the Chinese lockdowns start. I realized it was all garbage after the two week lockdown was announced, but my college announced they'd be locked down for the remainder of the semester initially (2 months at that point). The mismatch between those two timelines really got my attention. We later found out that both timelines were lies (I'm in Michigan, so I'm STILL not back to class).
The thing that I'm angry about is what you pointed out actually and nobody seems to have noticed in non-TD circles. People and the government are using people like you to hide behind. Their own fear and mandates are supposedly all about the vulnerable, but they have done nothing to actually help you. They only do things to soothe themselves.
If these people actually wanted to help, then they'd come up with support methods that actually support you and those like you. For the immune compromised, they're at risk from basically everything and were at risk before the China Virus entered the stage. The answer is to make an accommodation system for them like we have for deaf people or ramps for wheelchairs. We've had the technology and the ability to make these systems for a lot of people, but none of these "leaders in the community" or Democrats who claim to fight for the disabled (or whatever PC term they use now) have done so.
Nothing has changed for the better for the people who are supposedly protected with these mandates.
"If these people actually wanted to help, then they'd come up with support methods that actually support you and those like you." Based. There were a couple countries that set up grocery delivery and stuff. Targeted relief.
This is my biggest problem with the whole thing being used as a pawn. I was FURIOUS at the ACB hearing with the dems bring the pictures out of people losing their healthcare. They are using at risk people the same way they use black and hispanic people. I'm a white dude, so I've never been a political chess piece until China virus and I fucking hate it.
I know it isn't true and I don't feel "guilty" about it, but part of me does feel bad that the effort to "protect" people like me is being used to damage my friends, neighbors and loved ones financially and via mental health. It's just gross.
Also, as a Pede in Oregon, I feel the living under a tyrant...we are back to full lock down tomorrow. And I feel like I have to remind you, please please please call/email your state reps, senators, county leadership, everyone. get your friends to do it, it is more important than voting was. You guys are potentially going to either save or doom our country. We got this.
