This conflict has killed more Americans and the little inconvenience asked of those at home is to wear a darn mask, social distance, and when eligible get a couple shots and still you bitch and moan about such a little act for the common good
I'll still inconvenience myself to let an ambulance pass me even though it only helps protect somebody else from harm. I'll still cover my cough to protect others. Civil society should expect that. Some of us understand that some problems are best solved not by the individual and in fact require all of us to maximize success. But you do you.

Wearing a mask anytime I'm around people, (I do adhere to social distancing,) is a far cry from simply moving over for an ambulance, which may occur once or twice a month. And you still bitch and moan about how others are unwilling to protect you. Some of us understand there's something called individual responsibility, which comes before asking others to modify their lifestyle, just to protect them. But do you?
