It starts to feel academic even when friends tell you that they have actually been affected by Covid when you haven't.
But if you're saying "Well I haven't been affected so it's cool if I go to this family gathering cause it just doesn't feel real and I can't take the isolation so I'm just gpnna ignore it to make myself feel better" then that's just privilege. All you're doing is saying that feeling bad not going to Christmas is more important than the chance that your Covid dice might come up wrong. I know jwb isn't capable of realizing that **** cause he's a self absorbed prick but you should be better than that and so should WWWP.

I really get that. But I actually haven't been prioritising seeing people irl at all (just look at how active I am online ffs). To be precise I've only done so twice, both times to stay with my family for a while. I don't think that was the right decision morally, although I'm not sure it's very wrong either (there were complicating factors) but that wasn't a decision I made lightly, in the way you're presenting it. You're free to judge it how you like of course.
