public opinion, politicians, etc. but there are those who have been speaking up about these things. i find that they are those who have kept up most with the current research around COVID.<br/><br/>i would say that the aggregate of our individual actions is always a key part of our collective functioning. without the burden of the state between us, that would be even more true.

seen in part to be due to dealing with an unknown disease. i don&#39;t know enough to say that many were choosing to risk infection in an informed manner concerning risk/risk mitigation.<br/><br/>i have seen and continue to see COVID-aware people point to the systemic nature of the ongoing pandemic and the need for things like better air filtration. 2026-01-25T13:44:47Z

other COVID-cautious folks on fedi have referenced ACT UP as a model for the ongoing COVID pandemic.<br/><br/>there are those that have pushed for research &amp; action by the state. surely, that is where the most can be done to end the pandemic, &amp; where the blame lies. i think ACT UP has also rightfully shown some that the state is an immovable rock in many cases (apart from where folks can be persuaded to disengage from it). 2026-01-25T13:43:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrxx0nk4j0lp6yeg5ryx3ecelsxlx2h64sl0535as68cj4x4mhfmczyprtszg80c7nfwy753za22ryj2a0w7yqw809yfw0lva6hewyppyr7fk2yxq In
