I’ve noticed the same. People can not handle long and extensive threads much anymore. It just goes to show how most of the world has been infected multiple times and they have no idea.

I’ve noticed this too. There’s another side to it. People who used to be in this X bubble are getting infected. Some know it was COVID, others write it off as something random, and some stay in denial. But most of them aren’t the same afterward. They drop the precautions and the worry, like the version of their life where they don’t have to think about it is more important. I still don’t know why that never happened to me. A huge percentage just leave places like this. We had a massive drop in this community back in March and April 2026 when the BA.3.2 Cicada wave hit and pulled so many under, whether they realized it or not. If you scroll your feed from before that time and compare it to after, the drop in likes is clear. They disappeared. Not because they necessarily died, but because Covid got into their minds and told them to stop caring or participating. It’s real, and it’s scary.

It’s so scary too bc the parents are right there with the kids getting infected again and again 1-2x per year. None of it is anybody’s fault and we can’t keep them safe bc the system won’t let us or family or schools won’t allow it. It’s a horror of a time period to be trapped in

“I’m starting to become concerned for this next generation.” A teacher just watched a whole classroom of younger kids who “don’t seem to evolve in the same direction as everyone else.” “It’s like the lights are on but nobody’s home.” “They are looking through you.” “Staring off into space making random vocal noises.” “Horribly ditzy.” No attention span. “These kids aren’t special ed either.” She then defaulted to the usual answers: bad parenting, tablets 2” from their faces, TV until bed, no family dinners. What if that is just NOT it? 29- 35% of kids with Long Covid show measurable weaknesses in sustained and divided attention on testing. Higher rates of parent reported inattention and cognitive regulation problems. The vacant stare, the random vocalizations, the sense that the room isn’t functioning the same way it used to. It matches what research studies have been documenting for years. The screens didn’t empty the minds of the classroom. All of the Covid infections did.

My hometown doesn't believe in Covid, but absolutely believes a plastic water bottle will kill you. I live in a very red area where nobody has ever masked or ever took the vaccines. They treat Covid reinfection like a loyalty program. Collect 5 waves, get the next one free. They are completely fine with it. Most do not even believe it is here anymore. But microplastics? Oh, THAT is where they become a health expert. It's always without fail the MAHA obsessed right wing people. This morning a client at work was signing in and noticed a plastic water bottle just sitting there by the sign in sheet. No idea whose it was. He points at it like it just insulted his mother and goes, "Yeah I'm actually thinking of buying a reusable stainless steel water bottle instead of using those plastic water bottles because I just read about microplastics and how it destroys our health." And I just felt myself sink. You will “inevitably” collect every single wave that comes through here like you are working towards a free smoothie. And do so proudly. But that abandoned, room temperature water bottle is the thing going to destroy your health?!

Housekeepers have become one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet since Covid started, and the comments under this post read like a quiet horror movie nobody is acknowledging. A cleaner said a client who was sick followed her around the house the whole time, getting close, talking. 3 days later she tested positive. “I will never understand why some people suddenly get cuddly when they are sick.” One client let them come to clean before mentioning her daughter had just gone to the hospital by ambulance. Housekeeper said,”I probably passed Covid to a lot of people because of this. Plus... my Dr kept telling me I had bronchitis." Another asked clients to PLEASE tell her if sick, so they started HIDING it. She kept finding "kids cough medicine, thermometers and Covid tests around the house." Her takeaway: "I am really cautious when I clean for people who have kids." "The baby was sick. Was there on a Wednesday. By Thursday night I was down. Stayed down for 5 days." “Yes. I've been given Covid a few times.” One had a client who waited until she got there to say she was sick and announces: "STREP THROAT AND BRONCHITIS!!" Housekeeper said "I wanted to leave so bad!! Why would you have me clean your home if you are sick!!" She stayed. Got "Strep." These days, a housekeeper called to a house isn't called to clean. A housekeeper is called to get Covid instead.
