I don’t run a wet lab. I don’t study pathogens.
I study reality.
And in an airborne plague, reality says:
Clean the air. Wear the respirator.
Protect each other.
Because pretending it’s over is what’s truly unethical.

Leaving the supermarket, a man leaned into my face and said, “it’s not 2020 - you don’t have to wear the mask.”
I said, “you don’t have to be a fuckwit either, but look at you go!” 🙄🙄🙄
People have reasons to be cautious. Leave them be.

My neurosurgeon just cancelled my appointment, last minute - but it’s a good thing. He has swapped out a shift tomorrow to spend 5hrs solid on my files, & will call me on Friday. He was very apologetic for not having done it yet.
Maybe this is the turning point?

Like many, I first saw medically assisted death as a way for someone at the natural end of their life to choose a painless end to their suffering.
