I was shocked this morning at my semi-rural grocery store to see so many more masked “ blue-hairs” (I’m 69 but I’ve actually been sick before in my lifetime and actually got well — mostly without ever going to a doctor/my father was a pediatrician btw)— I wanted to ask them all — don’t you remember having measles,mumps,chicken pox and the flu and strep throat and you freaking lived through it — no vaccines or anything but chicken soup and sleep it off (Tylenol didn’t exist so if anything it was aspirin)- I’m so disappointed but not surprised at my generation- most were coddled pseudo hippies or suburban future yuppies while I was working cattle- guiding hunters and living in Gods country
Good point. I have always been in the mindset that overcoming an illness the old fashioned way was the best and only option. A huge part of this pandemic has been purely psychological, and so many have allowed themselves to be conned. Very very sad to see.
