Why I say it.

I just want you all to know that it's love. I want you to live because I love you.

On Friday, I lost a friend to a combination of Covid and a cancer which had been caused by his earlier Covid.

I have a lot of friends I can't do stuff with anymore because they've been disabled by long Covid. Sucks a lot more for them, of course.

When I'm upset that you won't put on a mask to save your life, that's not me railing at you. That's me wanting to save your life. That's me begging you not to footrace on a cliff.

Also, please don't ever say, "It's just like a cold now," or any other blatant denialist/apologist lie, in my presence. Thank you.
