[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am more concerned that you have already taught your child to be judgmental and have anxiety over covid. [/quote]

I’ve actually thought a fair amount about this. This is OP. I am very judgmental about COVID. I will own that. I think it’s justified judgment. I judge you and I don’t mind judging you. But I don’t want my child to feel how angry I am because I don’t think that’s healthy for her. I actually think her response shows that she’s not feeling judgmental or anxious. She thinks those people don’t know about the germ. We ate inside restaurants and didn’t wear masks too when we didn’t know. But now we know, so we get take out and wear masks. Her response is judgment and anxiety free, which is lovely in the way that 3 year olds are. But I will judge you![/quote]

NP here.  I have serious question.  Why do you judge these diners about COVID and not the food that they ate?  The food was likely over salted, too fatty and empty in calories which presents a bigger risk to their health than COVID does.  Heart disease is the number 1 killer in America.  [/quote]

This is OP. If this is a serious question, I will bite. Because their heart disease isn’t a danger to OTHER PEOPLE.

Is this right here the disconnect? Are people failing to understand that what each of us does affects everyone else?

PP is right that it’s one way but I want it to be another. I’m powerless. And frankly disgusted.

I give up. You know what? If these are my neighbors and family members and fellow Americans, why am
I trying so hard to keep everyone safe? If people are going to be hedonistic idiots, so be it. [/quote]
