W2 employees in mid/large companies can mouth off about not being “afraid” of COVID.

Look - I have no concern that I’ll have issues if I catch COVID.

But getting sick means shutting down my sm business until I get better. Can’t let my employees down. W2 folks don’t get that.
I’m not wearing a mask/distancing/avoiding crowds for the sole purpose of not getting sick...

It’s the second

third

fourth

and fifth order consequences of getting sick.

It’s not just me vs a virus.

I have a 3-employee business that I can’t afford to close.
It’s easy when the only adverse consequence of you getting sick is that you get to hang at home (and if you’re already WFH then maybe no consequences?) for 2 weeks until you get better
I only single out these people (W2 anti-maskers 😂) because that are annoying me the most right now

People can’t think outside of their own world. Not everyone can go screw off at the grocery store and not worry about their income as a result.
