A long, but very important and on-target read!

Reblogging because Christmas is upon us and if people threw shit-fits about stuff closing down back in the spring, they’re going to lose their minds if we need another lockdown in the next month or so.

Case counts are rising and schools haven’t even started everywhere yet.

I get that people need cashflow, and businesses need, well, business. But the Christmas shopping season is probably the worst time of the year for spreading viruses. Everywhere is packed, it’s flu season, it’s cold so no one wants to wait outside, and the pressure to secure gifts for the Best Christmas Ever™ makes people even more cranky and entitled than usual.

Respect you customer service workers! Wear a mask, follow store instructions for distancing, and be patient. We might not need another lockdown if people follow the rules that are in place right now, but we’ll only get through this if we all do our part.
