@MobileOak fatalism is a bad look sweetie
i get you're scared at seeing everyone around you give up, i too am terrified at seeing the eugenics on display, at hearing my friends describe COVID symptoms while saying "there's a bad cold going around" while they do nothing to curb the spread. it's pretty fucking grim
but, to answer your question, "to what end do we keep up?" the simple answer is that the goal is not to catch it. every infection dodged is a victory
in the end, you'll either lose all your friends because of incompatible precautions, or you'll lose all your friends because you'll be too disabled to participate in society
contact a local mask bloc when you're ready to be supported in the quest for sanitary self-defense
