my instagram is full of people who have gone on vacation to europe, in some cases countries where it is surging, some photos with older relatives. Meanwhile I haven't seen my family (who will barely leave the house) in europe since december. Am I being overly risk averse? Are they being under cautious? Also can they stop posting their amazing looking vaca photos on insta? Read the room people.
The ills of social media are a totally different issue. I would just stop being on instagram or follow something different. Just like you choose what you put in your mouth, you need to choose what you consume digitally.
I thought most countries‘ borders are closed to americans. My mil is a Swiss citizen and would still have to quarantine for 14 days in switzerland. She is only allowed in because she is a citizen.
still quite a few places you can go
yes still quite a few countries - but it's not really advised that we all travel to them esp where it's surging bc people could bring it back.
I have a friend who‘s insta at the beginning of the pandemic was full of ’stay at home/ wear your damn mask/ what’s wrong with people (not SDing)’ posts. She’s been travelling Europe (EU passport) for the past two weeks, is on her third/fourth country and some of them have seen # rising. I wouldn’t describe myself as risk-averse but the change in her attitude seems mind-boggling.
yes one of the friends i have that's posting made me feel like a total ahole for leaving NYC mid march for our house upstate (which I have never put on instagram) and now is on some kind of europe tour literally seemingly to places where it's surging.
Maybe she already had the virus and assumes she's immune?
