Begrudging Recluse on Nostr: I went online and people were discussing when it would be their turn to get infected. ...

I went online and people were discussing when it would be their turn to get infected. Not too early of course, no need to put more pressure on the healthcare system, but eventually it would be their turn for the sake of the world. Yes, a percentage of people would die, but that's only natural, isn't it? Worth the sacrifice for herd immunity.

I went outside and people kept telling me to not be bothered, only the elderly, disabled and chronically ill were dropping as flies. This wouldn't get that bad for 'regular' people.

I went to university and everyone refused to mask and refused to follow any other guidelines. I went to the guidance office for disabled people to ask for disease protection, and they declined me, because they said covid couldn't hurt young people. I had to argue for an hour with my professor to get him to mask in meetings during active mask mandates.

My fear. My anger. How could I control them? They consumed me. I started to unravel.
