Omgs, just the idea of being chronically infected sounds hellish! š
That is one thing I've found that most ordinary people don't understand and/or willfully ignore: mutations happen in human bodies. They don't happen magically out in the air or on the ground or because of sky fairies. You can't "positive think" your way out of potentially being a Petri dish.
Mutations. Happen. In. Living. Bodies.
Early on in the pandemic I was trying to remind people that if they got sick, they could potentially be a host for mutating the virus and passing it on in a mutated form to somebody else.
Nobody wanted to hear this! Everybody took it waaaaay too personally, like I was accusing them of somehow intentionally manipulating the virus to infect other people.
I don't understand why people can't understand basic facts about how viruses replicate. I guess that goes hand-in-hand with how they don't want to understand how viruses are transmitted.
They don't want to take personal responsibility for any of it. I'm so very tired of all of the willful ignorance.
