Social shaming around covid seems... complicated to me. On one hand yes spreading the disease is really bad, but on the other hand we don't have the capacity to judge other people's mental health or how much them "partying" might be saving them from great suffering or suicide.

You might be more privileged than them. You might have regular access to a quarantined bubble community. You might be living in a slightly less locked down city. You might just naturally be better at isolation, or more mentally healthy in general. You might have more support.

And again, obviously lives are at stake here. Obviously the small chance of killing someone else isn't worth you not falling apart. But like... at some point you gotta admit that it's really hard, the consequences aren't obvious, and irresponsible choices don't make people evil.

Well technically we all just have to stay as isolated as possible for about two weeks. The problem is EVERYONE has to do it at the same time, or else it just restarts the clock over and over again, making it endless.

I can say from years of isolation it fucks a person up.

7 mths is nucking futs! I’m so glad I decided to leave San Francisco and go to New Zealand. We had 33 days of serious “stay within a couple of miles of home, everything is closed” lockdown, then 16 days of “stay in your town, take-out is open”. From May 14 we’ve been almost norm.

May14-Jun8 was everything open (incl pubs) but 1m separation. From Jun9-Aug11 (9 wks), normal except the border quarantine. A small outbreak on Aug11 has put Auckland back to “don’t go to work or leave town” and the rest of NZ 1m separation. Hopefully just for a couple of weeks.

I've known of 8 people who took their lives because of the lockdown. Compared to 0 civil deaths. This is all absurd political theater.
