"Truth tellers are the Achilles heel of collective denial. And so those who wear masks are ridiculed, scientists reporting on COVID-19 risks are cast as fearmongers, and those with long COVID are dismissed as having anxiety disorders." Fantastic piece on the tactics behind denial by sociologists.

The reason for me wearing masks is also an anxiety disorder, I've been told multiple times.

Sometimes when I talk to people at work about how things aren't normal, they say stuff like "people have always had problems." Yes, but these problems are different in many ways, and this article gives me a new way to approach the conversation. (I'm also the only one at work who still always masks.)

Watched ‘Contagion’ again 2 nights ago (my GF hadn’t seen it), was shocked at how many people were not wearing masks even while the virus was raging and bodies were piling up.

Do you think people will actually care again? I truly am afraid for the future…
