Look, you're obviously hurting and this is where your anger and misplaced phrasing is coming from. You're angry seeing people not take this seriously, you're angry at Covid continuing so long and you feel that blame is on the few ruining it for the many, I get it, I really do. And I'll never tell someone to suppress their anger on any given subject, because rage is an emotion like any other, and emotions matter BUT while I understand where you're coming from, you have to acknowledge when that anger has unintended consequences. FOUR different posters have said (paraphrasing) "that was far too harsh and not okay". If you want people to listen to your views, if you want people to respect your opinion and have it carry weight you need to be an adult, and admit when you mis-spoke. Your comment was insulting and dismissive to very real issues people are dealing with, and when challenged on it you've double down and said "get mad at me" rather than take a second, breath, and realise you didn't mean to be so callous and unkind and apologise for it. Don't double down, don't be that guy. Be better than that guy.

I will say I was pleasantly surprised when I was on the tube and in the centre of London last Monday (the day the mask ban had been lifted), and I saw nearly as many people wearing them as when the mask requirement was in full effect. People are still doing their bit, and ultimately those 'shaking off the shackles' of masks, never wore them properly in the first place. The majority is still very good, very upstanding. And that made me smile (not that anyone could tell, because, like a good boy, I was still wearing my mask
).
QUESTION: how long did it take to immunise the world against smallpox? That was the last time, that I can think of, where a GLOBAL effort was made to end a disease.
