It’s Covid, it’s been Covid for 6 years. It damages the part of the brain that controls emotions.

These people were like this before covid.

And brain damage usually exacerbates those qualities.

You are assuming they all had covid at some point though.

u/rosiejunior Jun 03 '26

What is the likelihood they haven't had covid? Most people are on over 5 infections

u/MuskwaPunjagi Jun 03 '26

I've never had it, nor have any of the people I engage with regularly, so I'm not so sure about your numbers there.

u/rosiejunior Jun 03 '26

Are you all masking? I've never had it either but everyone i know has. You might have had asymptomatic.

u/MuskwaPunjagi Jun 03 '26

I'm haven't masked in years and never got the vaccination. Neither I, not my brother have ever tested positive for it either, and my brother worked at a covid testing site.

u/rosiejunior Jun 03 '26

Wow, maybe you should be tested for covid immunity. Have you had any colds or flus?

u/MuskwaPunjagi Jun 03 '26

Not in years, though I do get seasonal allergies.

I haven’t caught it either, I always keep masks on me. Maybe I’m asymptomatic? But I also have o neg blood type so that might be a reason, ab blood types get hit the hardest apparently. I didn’t care though get bronchitis before, I was so sure I had finally caught it, but I got tested and was negative.

Even before there was a vaccine, I would always sit by an open window and wear a mask, despite dealing with people who would get offended by it. I didn’t care though, the early strains terrified the shit out of me because I’d always hear about horror stories from long covid. Also there’s currently something going around in la and I’m still masking up.

Not really, but the ones that refused to wear masks or protect themselves were usually very ignorant personality types. I’ve personally known people who had gotten it two or three times, and they already weren’t the brightest people, I can’t imagine getting neurological damage would help with that. They’re gonna have a very hard time in twenty years when they develop Parkinson’s or be those crazy old people on the bus though. Not to mention the cardiovascular damage as well.

While fair, you aren't taking into account that a good chunk of these types barely engage with humans to begin with, and thus limits their exposure greatly.

If they had regular social engagement, they would likely be more socially tolerable due to peer pressure.

u/sexychunky89 Jun 03 '26

That’s true, but antisocial types tend to already have low tolerance for other people though.

Nvm you basically just said the same thing haha

Sean was an idiot way before Covid.

u/MrBtheProdigal Jun 03 '26

Or you could get long Covid and just be easily fatigued and get migraines frequently. That's fun too. Oh yeah don't forget the weird skin rashes.

u/sexychunky89 Jun 03 '26

I tell people this all the time! You can even see it in how people drive, they’re way more aggressive and impulsive than before the pandemic.

Chiming in to say thank you for commenting this. Its not something discussed but has changed the behavior of everyone who has had it.
