I can legitimately attribute to this thread. The quarantine has helped me in a lot of ways, but in some ways it has totally fucked me over. Thanks to this stupid fucking bullshit I developed a daily anxiety I can't find the exact cause to, just came about after having a stupid amount of time to myself in my own head. The lack of social interaction has made me realize that YES I AM introverted, but I greatly value and enjoy in person social interaction still, just in limited quantities with down time to recharge. Absolutely lacking in any social interaction has done some very strange things. I am at my wits end with this fucking bullshit and just want it to be over so badly. I've had more than enough time to work on myself and I feel completely confident in returning to regular society and move up in my life.
At some point the people will say "okay, enough."
I think the best advice I could give to anyone struggling is just to simply not watch breaking news. Spending your day deep diving into the hot new topic pretending you can understand the cutting edge research only for it to not matter in 20 days when something new comes along can't be healthy for anyone.

word.
Also, "worst year ever"? Ever hear of the Black Plague? Think about how bad the KronaVorus would have been if we didn't have Netflix, modern medicine, and so many more things.
I just don't understand how this is possible? Like, even if "only" 80% of people are vaccinated, that's still way more people vaccinated then back in the day when zero people were vaxxed. Right? So like, how can it be possible that the case numbers today are even higher than they were when ZERO people were vaccinated?
| Age Group | Unvax Death % | Vax Death % |
| 18-29 | 0.10 | 0.00 |
| 30-39 | 0.39 | 0.01 |
| 40-49 | 1.10 | 0.02 |
| 50-64 | 3.10 | 0.07 |
| 65-74 | 8.86 | 0.16 |
| 75+ | 19.46 | 0.66 |
Are Americans ever going to learn their lesson? Do they not want to follow the path of a country like South Korea that has handled COVID extremely well?

To me, vaccinating 50% of the people of the world makes little to no sense, as the virus will just continue to mutate amongst those who aren't

This is not true. The virus has no need to mutate among the unvaccinated population. It can stay the same and transfer from one person to the next. It only needs to mutate when it hits a vaccinated person, and thus needs to "change/mutate" in order to bypass the vaccine and infect them too. It's the vaccinated people who are causing the mutations, this is very obvious with even 1 second of thought about it.
By the way, who are you? I don't mean this condescendingly. Your post obviously "reached" me in a way I was not expecting. And perhaps complete anonymity aided that result. But do you have a timespage? A username in Twitch chat? Just because your words have reached me with a lot of weight, which I would like to assign to... someone at least tangible in some way. Even if it's just a consistent username around our worlds.

Just a speedrunner that's been actively running for 8 years now. I don't play GE much, but I've been keeping a close eye since your 2014 GDQ run with Alex. I also used to read S&T, for entertainment value, so I guess I've seen your rise and fall into redemption with pretty good seats, and reading that vaccine post just made me frustrated that you might slip again. At the same time, I guess I understand how frustrating the world is right now, and it is increasingly difficult to not get angry and irrational, as we face another potential lockdown.
The virus isn't sentient, and does not think ''gosh, I hit a wall, better mutate to get around it''. Mutations are replication errors that happen randomly. Most of the time, they suck and the mutated organisms are useless. Other times, the mutations are negligible and change nothing. And then sometimes, they happen to be beneficial and the mutated organism will become dominant through natural selection. That is called evolution. None of this is new.
There are so many things that are so fucking silly/worthy of parody/shitpost nowadays... (like wearing a mask while walking through a restaurant, and then not at your table for an hour, while eating and breathing all over the place, for example).
4th year, talks of 4th vaccine, and still we got a fresh new and bombastic all-time high of 1.9 million cases / day globally. Yet no medical hardships are observable in my personal sphere. Basically the entire UK is infected but the casualties are minimal. An invisible enemy that becomes increasingly hard to take seriously. What a joke!Careful mate, the 'cron is not going to like you for saying this! :devil:
