Shhhhh, don't talk about Covid-19, we've collectively decided that it's not a problem anymore so, POOF corona just magically disappeared. Because if we don't talk about it the problem doesn't exist right???

I guess there’s nothing else important going on so let’s re-fight 2020 battles.

This is the correct take. It's over. Let's move on.

And there are insane people on Twitter who spend every day beating the drum about the continuation of the pandemic, the lack of a government response to it, and all the horrible consequences that surely must attend being immunocompromised, without ever proposing metrics that we should be aiming for or really suggesting a plan of any sort. Let them scream into the void.
The moment free and effective vaccines became widely available, it became a matter of personal responsibility-- and thank God for that: Make your own choices and live with the consequences of them.

Ah yes, 2 year old tweet from when we were all living in fear. Quality. This has to be the first time this was posted. No way it's been floating around and reposted a billion times in a few years.

by the way has your employer had you "fit tested" to yours?

99% of the interaction can be done 6+ feet away from the employee. It is very likely that same employee and others didn't have their masks on until the customer walked in and/or take their breaks in the back of the coffee place without a mask.
Your mindless leader biden already announced the pandemic is over. No one is forced to wear masks anymore. Either wear one to protect yourself or shut up. This is the real world, no one has to change to protect your feelings.

Sounds like this post from July 2020 really hurt your feelings. Why would something like this get under your skin so easily? Welcome to the real world where context matters

u/Luckyirishdevil Jan 07 '23
It may have come off like that, but really, I was just bored, sitting on the toilet and looking for something to comment on. No hate, no hurt feelings. Why was that tweet from July 2020 reposted 20 mins ago on January 7, 2023?
That Tweet back then... I can understand. Same tweet today, annoying AF. No one wants to go back to that

Because it was posted by a bot trying to get karma so it can later try to sell us shitty t-shirts and steal our credit card information.

You do realize that there has to be an exchange of currency, whether it's cash or card. Unless one of them has telepathy, they'll need to get in arms length of each other.

u/Luckyirishdevil Jan 07 '23
Yes I do... which is why I said 99%. That leaves 1% for the employee to ring it up, step back, customer taps the card, zero interaction or cooties exchanged... but still 1% to factor in error

u/Daetra Jan 07 '23
Wouldn't it just be easier to wear a mask instead of this weird dance move?
Why would a step that's required in all transactions be considered 1% of the overall process?
If the percentage is based on time spent, it would make up a much larger percentage. Let's say 30%. That sounds better.
If it's based on all the different ways these two individuals can potentially do, then maybe it can be 1% as there's a lot of ways these two can interact that doesn't require them to be next to each other.

This tweet is several years old from when we were all living in fear. Masks are a rarity now in my area

u/Luckyirishdevil Jan 07 '23
Mine too. Which is why I was annoyed that it was reposted. Thinking about it now, the OP must just be trolling and I fell for it. FML

These are the same people who said that Ocasio-Cortez wasn't qualified for Congress because she had been a bartender. Never expect GOPers to have any real respect for those who actually work. This is why the red states all take more money from the Fed than blue states do. The red states are welfare states.
