pandemic/lockdowns are very different subjects. I don't feel impacted by the lockdowns because I was already mostly homebound by my disability at the time, but COVID made my disability worse and I still struggle with the isolation of being immune compromised in a world full of people who would rather see me dead than touch a mask during respiratory illness season

no only because i was already trapped, in online school, and being isolated by my parents. the only difference i felt was zoom dance classes and the stress of my parent’s disregard for my family’s health. so a new side of emotional abuse i guess

That sucks that you have to go through that but your wellbeing isn’t everyone else’s responsibility. Masks and social distancing are bad for our social health because they create barriers between us and other people.

masks are not bad for social health but even if they were, your view about wellbeing not being a societal responsibility fails your attempt at a point here
