I think we are missing the point here. We are getting offended by a use of a word, it may be a bit strong, but it only reflects frustration. Rather than looking at this situation in the light of being fucked off by peoples reactions to non compliance, we should look at what is happening.
If for example this virus was people, an occupying force, that's main objective was to kill our most vulnerable people. Our old, our sick, our children who have conditions that make them vulnerable, who among us would not take up arms to fight that force? To put our very lives on the line to defeat them?
I would hope all of us would. Who else can protect them if not us? Who? Woukd we hope they just stopped? Would we? Now, fortunately we dont have to take up arms to protect those who xant defend themselves. We can wear a mask. Socially distance, ok we might get our faces marked. We might get our glasses steamed up. It might be a bit uncomfortable. But by doing these little things, vulnerable people we all love have a better chance to see better days. And I just dont mean people we know who we love, but your granny, your kid who has a condition, your old aunty, my old aunty.
The question I ask is what have we become that we will not stand and fight for those among us, who need the strong to step into the fray to protect them? It's not as if you have to out your life on the line by taking a bullet, but, I would hope even if it was we would step forward and fight. It's a fucking mask. Its keeping sensible when around others. When this is eventually over and we ask ourselves did we do enough, I for one want to ge able to say, yes I did.
Wear a mask people. It's not that difficult.
