I don't understand how I thought I was surrounded by more based friends, now all of a sudden they're getting colds and jumping to go get tested. Or the other situation is when I share info proving it's a scam, the tests dont work, etc, and they say "no we all got covid a few months ago, it wasnt that bad but i lost my taste and smell" or "my dads in the hospital with covid and he isnt doing good so it's real". I really just dont get how my conservative, gun loving, anti mask/vax, pro trump/america friends can be so naive i guess is the right word for it, or just half awake? I'm learning to just stop myself after asking a few questions like how the tests dont work and such. I see the gears going in their head where I think they get it and then they resort to "nope covid is real..." Just frustrating that the people that have stood on the sidelines demanding no masks, no mandates, are now jumping to test. My brain cant process it.

I've been sick like 3 times a year my entire life. All of the sudden it's super scary? It's like everyone forgot that they ever got the sniffles before.
Exactly. I'll ask them "how do you know it was covid were you sick?" And they responded "oh yea I felt like I was going to die for like a day or 2, it was the worst I ever felt" and then I reply "cool, I had the flu before, was the sickest I ever been and went to the ER, but it was just the flu, the flu can make you feel that way is that how you felt?" And then they're like, "oh, well yea I guess". People forget other illnesses ever existed and want to believe it is real.
