#the government would rather shoot you point blank than protect you from a deadly virus

[emoclone]

some un-gentle reminders going into year 4 of the ongoing covid pandemic:

- the CDC is no longer reporting case numbers. if things were bad again (which they are and have been), the CDC is not gonna be the one to sound the alarm.

- if you haven't gotten your 2023 covid shot, you're effectively not vaccinated against the current strains of covid. go get vaccinated ASAP.

- any mask is better than no mask, but kn95s and n95s are your best bet to protect yourself and others.

- you SHOULD be wearing a mask in public spaces. everyone should. covid is airborne and it spread wherever people are. that includes your school, your workplace, the grocery store, the hospital, any place where people gather.

- if you're sick with any cold/flu symptoms, get tested and isolate. even if you "just had a runny nose," that doesn't mean it won't kill someone else you've been in contact with.

- the government and the media will do everything they can to convince you that there's no pandemic anymore. that doesn't mean that covid isn't a real and active threat to everyone's health and well-being.

TLDR: mask up, get vaccinated, and remind others to do the same. don't stop talking about it. keep yourself and others safe.
