dendriforming: 80yearoldteenager: Seeing everyone else get colds and fearing for your life. On the one hand, this is me. On the other hand, if you’re also in this position, you’re probably terrified of me too. (And as much as I viscerally *know* how necessary “Stay home when you’re sick!” campaigns are, I can’t not be triggered by them. By a lot of those wordings, I should literally never be allowed to leave my house.) Cross-infection risks are complicated. And I still leave my house. But I don’t object to people avoiding me either. Oh I don’t mind if others leave their house. My problem is them entering mine if they know they have certain kinds of illnesses. I have a sign posted on my door about which kinds and why. It’s kept me from developing life threatening infections. Outdoors, I don’t care what people have, will protect myself if necessary. It’s in my house that I care.
