I'm also apparently spontaneously going off of bcp because I didn't expect the fuckery. Who says, yeah, contraception in a pandemic is a good plan? Much less how much I want to avoid both buildings.
I feel like it would be bad to spontaneously go off my blood pressure meds, since hypertension is a higher-risk category for covid-19. (As long as I'm taking the meds, my BP is fine and dandy, which I think means I'm not at any higher risk, because normotension doesn't cause vessel or heart damage, so I should be fine. But that means I need to keep taking them.)
I feel like in 2 weeks there's going to be a big spike in cases/hospitalizations, because restaurants and bars opened back up yesterday and people are being fucking stupid. And if there's a spike in cases, my doctor might change his mind and tell me to stay home. I fucking well hope so.

Probably, yeah.
People really don't understand what "asymptomatic transmission" means.
Oh the only med that required lab results to refill was my birth control pills. Not any of the other meds that literally need levels checked. Those she filled once. Contraception though, no way.
I'm getting labs done as early as I can because I know infection rates are going to spike. I don't feel good about it.
That's bizarre, Cass. I mean, pretty normal for our society, I guess, but in terms of making sense totally weird.

They do not and using simple explanations isn't helping. I don't know what we can do to help people understand what their actions mean.
I've become jaded enough that I don't know if it's even asymptotic transmission people don't comprehend. I think they just value themselves and their freedoms more than every other human life.

I have come to the uncharitable conclusion rather later in life that there are a lot more stupid people out there than I had thought.

Stupid, selfish, and actively cruel.
I have been saddened to realize that there are a lot more people out there who don't regard anyone who isn't them as real, or at least as someone who matters, than I had previously supposed.
On the flipside, this doesn't make me despair for humanity in general.
It just makes me understand that the spectrum from bad to good behavior is a lot wider than I thought.
Most people are not bunched towards a Median Good.
There are some actively Very Bad people out there and Very Good people.
It's just the bad people are worse than I thought. They drag the bottom of the scale down.
