At what point is it enough to care, when the drawback is literally "wear a tiny scrap of cloth over your face". The ounce of prevention here is so minor. So much less than, idk, "give up your car" or any of the really hard things we're gonna need to consider re: climate change.

I am just not comfortable calling dead children a "necessary trade-off" for doing things exactly the way we always have done. And it scares me especially when we apply this logic to things like climate change.

Who and how many are going to be an Acceptable Trade for keeping our fossil fuels? For not investing in better solutions? For cutting back on air travel?

There were people who weren't willing to give up jetting around the world to B&Bs for their Instagram lifestyle when the risk was *a deadly plague*. What's going to convince them when the lives at stake are folks in the global south and not them specifically??

Those people will end up killing everbody around them, and die in 6 months when no community will take them in or feed them and they are forced to fend for themselves.

I love those people because, when the actual apocalypse comes, their houses will be a treasure trove of loot because they died of drinking untreated water three days after the power went out. Probably after mocking someone who was boiling water for "living in fear."

The past is full of people who wanted to prove how tough they were, and most of them died by shitting until there was no moisture left in their bodies because they ate bad food, drank bad water, and refused help from others.
