Claire: And this is Claire. Joy: And this is Joy and Claire. Thanks for putting up with my voice last week, because that was really cute. I feel like everybody is sick though, so everybody has this.  Claire: I also just feel like everyone has COVID. Joy: Everyone. I’m laughing, but I’m crying inside. Claire: I’m laughing, but I’m crying. Joy: I’m smiling, but I’m crying inside. Claire: And I’m also kind of like, okay, if we’re all going to get COVID, at least we’re getting the least serious variant so far, I guess. Joy: I guess. Claire: Which technically speaking – I mean, this is a weird thing to say. But it’s in the virus’s best interest to be less serious. Because if you as a virus kill all your hosts, you’re not going to get very far. That’s why Ebola will never be a true pandemic because it’s too serious too quickly. There’s no time for it to spread. Joy: Oh. Got it. Claire: See what I mean? You as a carrier of the virus get too sick too quickly, and then you die. So there’s not time for you to spread. Joy: Right. Claire: Versus if you’re carrying COVID and you just have a sniffle for four weeks and you walk around and give it to everyone. Joy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Claire: Right. I’m not saying… just speaking from the virus’s point of view. Joy: The virus has spoken. Roll out, I’m kind of sick of it. Claire: But also, I think at this point we’ve realized that people are not going to get vaccinated. We can have as many feelings as we want about that. Joy: I have a lot of feelings about it. Claire: We can get as many vaccines as we want, and it won’t change other people’s unwillingness to view public health as important enough to do that. Joy: Yeah, I just have to interject really quick. It’s so funny how things pop out at people where, man, you can’t say anything without making someone mad. But I think one time I did a Q&A on Instagram stories. Someone asked some question, basically said like, “thoughts about being around the unvaccinated.” I answered the question being like, well, there’s the vaccinated and then there’s the unvaccinated. We’re not trying to be mean. Claire: It’s not like “the great unwashed.” Joy: And so someone wrote and was like, “Ugh, the unvaccinated. We’re just these horrible people.” No, that’s not what we’re saying at all. I’m the vaccinated.
