I hate that being covid cautious is such a heavy burden, and that it wouldn't be nearly as difficult if everyone (or at least the majority) took part.
It's been so tiring; slowly recovering from burnout and depression, dealing with an increased workload in the office (burning out again...), and continually fighting for a permanent remote work accommodation, all the while staying away from family and friends who have given up on any mitigations. But this is viewed as being my fault, that I'm doing this to myself because I want to be isolated for some reason, or that I've become increasingly paranoid over something that "isn't really dangerous anymore".
Do they really think I want to live like this? Do they really think I enjoy not seeing family and friends? Granted I wasn't very outgoing pre-covid, but I'd love to be able to go out without a mask, meet up with others and not be afraid of disability and death.
I didn't choose this life, it was thrust upon me by a society that is unwilling and/or unable to accept the terrifying truth that an airborne virus is ripping through their lives while they continue to catch and spread it over and over and over again.

As long as your asking politely for people to take part you might get some positive response. Its only once you infringe on others bodily autonomy by **demanding** they do things to lessen your burden we have a problem.
You wear whatever level of protection you want, everyone else will do the same. Demand violation of bodily autonomy you are likely to get violent opposition. Ask nicely you might move things int he right direction.
"No, I was just checking to see if you are as sharp as you propose yourself to be."
To summarize "anyone who doesnt agree with me is an idiot".
Yea sorry not even reading past this line then.. I spent the last 2 years as a COVID0-19 research scientist. Always a hoot when i see an arrogant uneducated twat strutting around like this, you are the porblem.

No, I was just checking to see if you are as sharp as you propose yourself to be.
Do you have the humility/capacity to challenge yourself, advocate against what you are saying, or just looking to assert yourself?
So far, it looks like you don’t put any stock in public health.
Rights are your priority, which leads you to make some appealing conclusions.
Get back to me once you’ve begun to include responsibilities in your view.
I sincerely wish you the best.
