I totally support using Covid to skip work events. I’d rather have my teeth drilled then go to a conference full of lawyers.
But I’ve been to concerts. I’ve been to tons of parties. I’m vaxxed, boosted, and life’s too fucking short to sit around worrying about this anymore. If I die tomorrow, I have been far luckier in life than I ever deserved. And dying of an embolism actually isn’t a bad way to go. It’s lights out. Alternatively, I soldier on into my dotage (or not) waiting for the inevitable nasty cancers that haunt the family.
I don’t wanna know I’m going. Bring it out of the blue. If a virally induced embolism, fine.
