Neighbour sees me with a respirator, asks if I’m “afraid of catching something.” I say “I’m not afraid. There is a lot of Covid right now” Then he says “That’s the same thing” so I tell him how my triathlete friend had to take 6 HIV tests for 2 years after 1 infection cos his immune system was dead

“I don’t want to get sick” shouldn’t be looked at with scorn and the fact that it is and there isn’t a single politician willing to do anything about it is proof that revolution is our only way out.
