Literally, when it started being reported in the earlier days of the pandemic that Black people were the hardest hit, that was the exact point I knew it was a wrap on it being taken seriously.

And probably like a week later, at most, the unmasking protests started popping up. 🙃 https://t.co/orcEyEft7i

This is why, even now, I’ve never succumbed to hubris regarding the dangers of Covid. We REALLY want it to be “just a cold,” but it’s not a cold. It’s neurological, and it’s stealthier than us. Those who have friends with “long Covid” know it’s no joke:

If we believe covid to be so harmless we cannot be bothered to wear masks indoors, what is the point of requiring travelers from China to test negative?

To avoid new variants? To decrease burden of disease?
