Why are these epis hating on the public? People have been doing SO much to help and this is how they’re repaid?

Bars put up plexiglass, people wear masks, schools closed, some haven’t seen family in months, and this is the s*** you give them? THREAD https://twitter.com/EpiEllie/status/1327442711981543424

MILLIONS ARE UNEMPLOYED.

MILLIONS ARE FACING ACUTE HUNGER.

All to stop this virus... and you’re going to insinuate that people are to blame for your Thanksgiving recommendations to not see the fam? This is devolving into an abusive relationship.

I don’t think a work-from-home academic has the capacity to understand just how big of a sacrifice people have already made and are continuing to make to manage respiratory hygiene in a way none of our ancestors have ever had to do.

Hear from me: people, you are f***ing awesome.

I see how much everyone is doing. Maybe we were already beat in this battle before we begin, but damn, people are trying. This epidemic has given me a deep faith in my fellow human. Everyone is doing an incredible job, and THE VIRUS IS NOBODY’S FAULT!

Keep compassion, folks. You don’t know what others are going through, so trust that they’re doing their best on their own unique path in life.

You go, people, you go. Let’s help our neighbors with everything, from COVID to shoveling snow.

Illegitimi non carborundum

P.S. extra shout out to nurses and doctors working incredibly grueling and emotional shifts. I hope we can all find some extra juice of effort to mitigate risks of transmission, for the love of docs

Everyone does their part & we emerge from this pandemic stronger than we started
