I still can't believe there was a science fiction show on Netflix with a South Asian asexual protagonist who casually says she's ace in the very first episode and is a fully-fleshed out character and they just cancelled the show.
Remember that family in Oregon who suspected they got bird flu from their kid’s soccer game?
A CDC doctor told them it was “just seasonal flu plus pink eye” and the local health authority said they’ll only take action if the state lab says to.
They were unable to get tested.
Someone whose attitude is “i’m not going to stop going on trips and eating out at restaurants forever” is is not someone mentally prepared in the slightest for what’s to come in the next months and years, and that’s what it really boils down to I think.

The fact that people are getting offended by the AIDS & Covid comparison is precisely the point. Why it’s powerful and necessary.
Because covid is playing out almost exactly the same way the AIDS crisis did in the 80s but on a much, much larger scale.
