Yes, I am fatigued. So are the people around me. Fatigue means you are doing something that is hard. And what we have all been doing is hard. But that I am fatigued does not mean that I want the government to give up fighting this pandemic. Quite the opposite.

I want the government to acknowledge that this is hard. I want them to motivate me by giving the reasons that we need to keep doing this. I want them to make it easier for me to keep doing this. And I want them to do what they can to make sure this ends as soon as possible.

Simply loosening restrictions when it’s too early is not helping. I get nothing from someone telling me halfway through a marathon that I already passed the finishing line and then telling me later that actually I do have to run the rest of the marathon...

The danger here is that people and communities feel left alone in their efforts instead of supported. At the same time trust in the government’s handling of the pandemic plummets, further eroding their ability to do the things that matter, like getting people vaccinated.pic.twitter.com/vb1t3Enx7D

Kai, Isn’t hospitalization the key statistic that matters ? Do we have any stats on who is getting hospitalized and how they are ? Why does no one talk about it ? Is it because politicians skew older and restrictions in those age groups are a no-go ?

Frankly, if people are so fatigued that they don’t care about their own elderly parents dying, We might have bigger problems than Covid. But if they don’t think not following rules is not as fatal perhaps they are telling us something - the arbitrary rules don’t seem to work ...

I look to my Dad in WW II. Fatigued? Oh, yeah, probably in Africa. And then there was Sicily, and Italy. Dad was in Italy while ships were landing in France. And he was still around in Germany guarding what needed guarding while others went home, fatigued but still there.

We are here doing this because that's what we do to live. Tiring, fatiguing, exhausting? Absolutely. It's not a sprint. Survival is a ways off yet. That's where we're headed. Don't fuck it up, we'll do our part. If we do, and you -do- fuck it up? We're comin' for ya.
