There has to be a psychological payoff to being so frightened, or people wouldn’t do it.

Imagine a life so pathetic that one would think the reasons they cancelled their birthday party would be worth writing a story for publication.

Geez. I sure hope the writer doesn’t do something horrible this close to Christmas. Become a zero carbon emitter or something.

I have a relative that paranoid.

If someone is canceling birthdays due to covid, they are NOT thinking.

Good move. I am canceling all my birthdays, so I can stay this age forever.

Based on this “logic”, this idiot should never have another social event ever since someone might give him a bad cold or the flu

Well I’ve always been prepared and aware of the flu season before covid. So I didn’t do anymore except wear a mask and gloves when the ‘warnings’ went out we needed to protect hospitals from being overrun.....and that never happened in my area.
However here we are now with twice the number of people hospitalized and people dying from apparently covid after the majority of the public has had the shots. It would not be far fetched to wonder if the shots aren’t creating the problem.

It boggles my mind how many people choose to live in a state of perpetual fear.

This time last year, with effective vaccines and a new administration on the horizon, I tweeted that I was “gently hopeful about being able to have a party.” That wasn’t to be.”
