I've spent one year in self imposed quarantine or lockdown. Last February my wife and I decided to shut in and stay at home as much as possible to avoid COVID. It's been horrible for my mental and physical health. Today's video is a rant about what the effects of the lockdown have been for my mental health, and how it has negatively affected my world view. I also do talk about politics and the 2020 election.

Yeah where I’m from nobody cares about covid we all are just living our lives down here in Orange County California
I've seen the videos. Even the farthest left states just gave up and went back to their usual yolo lifestyles. Texas is no different. Only a small percentage of people are still holding out.
Good. You wouldn't want to be a low test loser shut-in, would you? 🤭
@@Drift0r people obviously still wear masks in stores and stuff but nobody wears masks walking outside or anything
Look at the rich white guy being depressed by his own doing. Look at him and laugh.😂

Brad is the most genuine man I know. Talks about real issues and things outside of gaming and always with a critical lens. Even with a torn mind, you’re one of the people I trust most on UA-cam
The thing that has been repeating in my head for the past year is "People are dying and people don't care"
@T T right?
Statistics are being manipulated and people don’t care.
It's easy to not care when you deny science and facts by calling everything you don't like "fake news".
Coolers outside the hospital stuffed full of corpses? Fake news. No evidence of voter fraud? Fake news. Trump supporters storming the Capitol building? Fake news, must have been Antifa.

I've started referring to idiots as "bottom 50" types. My gf asked me what that meant and I hit her with the Carlin quote. She's like "that's so true!"
Go for a walk, enjoy nature. Get some sunshine it helps a lot.
@@joshk8462 how
@@joshk8462 you can still be in quarantine and go for a walk by yourself.
@@joshk8462 I've been in quarantine the whole time but it doesn't stop me from going outside to get some fresh air and enjoy nature
@@killajaystyle yeah my bad that was pretty rude, I live in Boston where it’s very cold and even when I do go out it doesn’t help
@@joshk8462 you're good man, it's cold here too but it still helps to get out once in awhile
You need a balance! Go to the drug store or a grocery store late night or early morning when there isn't many people. Get outdoors for drives or hikes! These help! You can still practice safe social distancing while being out and about. Hope you start doing better drift! These videos help all of us because we can relate lool
It's called balance my friend. I understand you holding the line but pride comes before the fall. Everything is opening up. Whether you agree or not you'll be suffering this way at your own choice at some point, if it hasn't happened already. Don't make this worse than it already is. Balance.
I too, realized I hate other people this past year. You’re not that alone dude.
I’m with ya too
My gf and I did the same thing, which was interesting since I hadn't lived with her before this year. My mental health has also taken a toll, primarily since our cat Zeus got sick in June and now has to be put down because everything we could do didn't work and the vet specifically said it's the only option. I was willing to do ANYTHING for him and through this self-imposed quarantine, he has been my rising sun and my rock. Yes, it's annoying that others aren't taking things as seriously as me, but I'm going to miss our baby Zeus more than anything I lost through COVID.
I’m sorry to hear that. Keep your head up man
Damn tragic, terrible if you couldnt get vets open. It has been tough for many. We got a cat too, and we still have to go vet when he got sick with face masks and gloves with visors and then properly disinfect
@@Henbot I know that feeling. They were even limiting who could go in to only one of us until they realized things weren't getting better with him. It's been a really rough several months for all of us. The only comfort I find is the vet told us 90% of cat owners don't even try the supplement/diet that we did and opt to put them down before all that. As a result though, I fear we know far less about Chylothorax than we otherwise would. Keep up the good fight with yours. I love all cats, but Zeus truly touched my heart and soul.
@@EndGameEnt They do, especially in this scenario. If our cat, Merlin, had gone it would have been devastating. Pure tragic getting such a rare illness, Rip Zeus
@@Henbot I'm glad Merlin is still with you. Continue working hard as pet owners, I respect it. And thanks for the RIP, that means a lot. :)
I love the survival rate argument as to why covid isn't bad. You could be on a ventilator for a month and you'd still be part of that 99.whatever survival statistic. Just because you don't DIE doesn't mean it's not a horrible and/or life altering experience
exaclty. thank you. not to mention that survival rate for those over 65 is 220x lower than young adults.
I don't know if you've already watched this, but Drive to Survive is on Netflix which is a series about Formula 1. It's bought a lot of new fans to the sport & it may make you a fan & distract you while you're at home all day.
"I'm starting to hate people." Welcome to the club! We have coco and cookies on Tuesday. Humanity's selfishness, lack of logic, and lack of empathy has earned it none of my good will. My understanding and patience was lower than average before...now it's below rock bottom.
From the frontlines of Covid in the ER, thank you for your videos and your sacrifices Drift0r! Thank you! I hope and pray that life goes back to “normal” sooner than later! PS: we need you and your voice in healthcare! Be well!
This has got to be some of the most twisted logic I have ever heard.
This man should not be an example to anyone right now. This lands on the extreme side of poor decision making.
How is it twisted?
THANK YOU.
@@thebroschannel The risk management that this man and his wife have taken is absurd for the circumstances. Not going to the doctor’s for a medical condition? I mean, check in online and wait in your car, but this guy decided not to go because... “Covid Bad?”
I get the idea, limit your exposure to others, wear your mask diligently, and no large gatherings. If everyone did what Drift0r is doing, we *might* have had lower COVID rates, but I promise you, suicide rates would be astronomical, the average physical health of the nation would be in the toilet, and we wouldn’t be operating nearly at what we needed to.
No two ways about it: this might’ve been an honest attempt at respect for fellow man, but it devolved into a very serious martyr complex for a situation that I frankly do not see necessitating his monk-like lockdown.
Hey Drift0r , you are not alone. They are existing also people like you and i can understand the frustration you feel when you see others that dont think normally or like you or that they dont have selfcontrol. Selfcontrol and Reevaluation of ourselves is practically in really low levels. Keep up the good work!
This is slowly making drift0r evolve into me lol
At least you’ve got your dogs. Honestly for me the simple fact that I can take my dog for a walk for like half an hour a day can be quite refreshing when there’s pretty much nothing else to do.
Stop watching the news, you'll feel better.
Yes that is True but you still have to put in the back of your mind that you should be for yourself and others if you care in quarantine that can help you out but if you go out you see people with masks on the U know which still in it
You don't need to live under a rock either... still check every few days just don't look multiple times a day
Consider what sources you’re looking at. Don’t watch partisan sensationalist garbage like Fox, CNN, or MSM.

Dude you kinda choose the wrong way. But I guess it shows discipline.
Staying home and isolating people at homes could be worse than opening up the economics and households. You could save 100 old people while 200 more people will become a lot more threatened to suffer from critical heard failure/disease, gainging more weight, getting more depressed, commiting suicide as business owners go bankrupt because of the closed businesses.
We can't have the cure to be worse than the disease itself. Everyone should make their decisions using common sense and the threatened groups should be more responsible to protected themselves.
It’s been a year and people got tired of not being able to have fun and do the normal things. Not everyone has a wife to keep them happy all the time so they need to go outside there house to have fun or be happy
I'm so happy that you made this video Brad, cause I felt the same way you did about people... and now seeing the reality of how people act, it makes me feel like I'm an anomaly. I'm here fighting to not become complacent and give up on what really matters. I encourage you to keep fighting on!
Your quarantine stance doesn't make much sense to me. Just hear me out or clarify if I don't have this right!
Yes, obey all guidelines and avoid spreading the infection to other people. That part I get. But literally never leaving your house doesn't make sense. If you have to go have a doctor's appointment, you go the doctors. The only person that could get sick is you during that time. And assuming you are heading straight home after the doctor's, the only other person you can get sick is your wife and vice versa. If all of your trips are 2 weeks+ between each other, you are not risking infecting other people, just yourself (assuming these are like outings that last a few hours or less).
It sounds like you are less worried spreading Covid and more worried about getting it period. This is understandable, especially because we don't know about it's long term side effects much. But those whom chose to live their lives sensibly are not any lesser than those like you whom chose to be permanent shut ins. We are social creatures. If everyone did what you did we'd have a lot more suicides/drug ODs than we already do and a 100% dead economy.
I agree with most of the rest of what you said. Many people were definitely being reckless. And yes, a larger portion of the population is crazier than I thought, but I still wouldn't call it "the average person" is crazy, you'd have to be quite careful how to define "average" because that typically lumps in too many people.
As far as vaccine distribution is concerned, it's a lot better for the states to handle it as opposed go the federal government which was about to prioritize vaccinating young African Americans over older white people purely on the basis of race and disregarding the stats, instead using "group stats" to determine whom should get vaccinated, whatever that term meant. And they only backed off the policy because journalists called them out on it.
Crazy world we live in.
Shhhh, they don't like logic. You'll scare him. We must come together and feel bad for the rich white guy.
@@Protolime I am not trying to be mean to him, or anything, and I doubt he's that rich tbh. I've seen UA-cam CPM lol
I'm just pointing out to him that he doesn't need to be this paranoid. There's a concern but the full lockdown argument just isn't there in my eyes unless you are at high risk of death from COVID, in which case you don't leave and the only people visiting you should be 2 weeks away from other people as well. There's a way to not have to be a shut in, is all I'm pointing out to him.
you must’ve missed his description of his doctor’s office and the part where he had to sit in a crowded waiting room with the covid lady. plus your colors are showing when you mention ‘economy’. thats sorta the problem. people on this planet care more about economics than life itself. smh
@@brick5m782 "colors showing" wow way to generalize.
If he walks into a doctor's office and he's been home up until that point the only person at risk of being infected is him. Covid's incubation is fast, it is not instantaneous.
And yeah, the economy does matter. I'm not talking about "OMG THE STOCK MARKET" which the fed just inflated to the moon anyway, I'm talking about small businesses existing, people having work to do during the day so they aren't losing it, and in lieu of the government having a horrible response to this, people need money, so they are going to work for it.
People are the lifeblood of the economy and the economy supports their livelihoods. It's a symbiotic relationship. To reduce it down to "but muh economy" is intellectually disingenuous.
@@CarterCovers55 yes colors are showing ‘cuz i’m pretty sure our ideas of a horrible response by gov’t are pretty diff. and not too sure of why ur focused on his spreading of the virus opposed to just contracting it himself.
been a fan for years. hurts to hear you're having such a hard time. i got a WFH job a year before the pandemic, and I'm not too social so i'd been living as though on lockdown since even before sht hit the fan, and i have a history with depression so it was definitely hard to get past the boredom. Take care of yourself m8, if you're struggling, get the help you need. therapists and psychs should all be doing video appts these days. i would personally break quarantine and just do the things you want to do wearing a mask. i understand the morals behind it but theres only so much you can take. take care of yourself before you worry about others. from what i hear, the masks are effective. i hope thats true. i know the world is nuts, but we aren't alone. the others that arent insane make it worth it. consider taking up meditation / mindfulness. its healthy to be in the present moment, not staying stuck in thought loops and feelings of anxiety about how fucked the world is. at least it works that way for me.. but when it comes to anxiety and depression man, trust me you'll make it through, it won't be like this forever. i was borderline suicidal for 10 years and thought it would never end but I'm doing better than ever now. it wouldve been a lot less time was i able to actually have any hope. i hope i can give you some. you've been happy before, you know what it's like, you'll return as long as you keep taking care of yourself and don't ever give up. maybe what i'm saying is overkill but idk. wish you the best my guy.
Ah I see you’ve found the lifting addiction.
i’m watching right now while positive for covid. Did all of the precautions to stay safe and keep others safe we still ended up getting it in my household. We almost made it a whole year without getting it. Were very progressive and follow the cdc. we go to the grocery once or twice every 2 weeks. I cannot wait for the vaccine 🤞🏻Hopefully we will get them soon in illinois.
Drift0r,
You guys made the right decision. I work in healthcare, specifically in an Emergency room and it is scary what this virus does to people.
You guys are holding the world together. Keep on as much as you can.
I cant believe how much I needed to hear this. Ive been yelled at at my job (which i need to work for rent) for beliving in the virus and enforcing mask policies. The anger, depression, loneliness, everything, its so nice to hear that others feel how i am feeling. I feel distrustful of people now... so many of us preach morality but when push comes to shove a disturbing number fold and cant be bothered. I used to quarantine for the sake of others, now i dont care. they dont want my help, i just quarantine to not get it now. Humanity was a mistake, we must return to monke
thanks for sharing, and thanks for staying strong.
I strongly feel that distrust right now. I also believe that very few people are guided by principles or a true morality but are instead guided by their convenience.
take heart drift0r-kun we love you through it all.. as much as an audience can love an online content creator
Thank you
@@Drift0r Are you familiar with Klaus Schwab, The world economic forum, and event 201? If not, you should look into it.
I feel ya Drift0r. Respect. And thanks for the content, it's really helped me with my own self-imposed quarantine.
And yes, I couldn’t finish this video. It almost made me walk into oncoming traffic.
Drift0r I totally feel you! I am glad you at least have this community. The way things have been addressed and dealt with when it comes to COVID-19 is ridiculous. I watched this and I couldn't help but nod and chant you to PREACH! We all feel the effects of COVID but some of us feel it harder and I feel your pain as I am dealing with it to but I don't know how to address it... Hope for the best for everyone.
Thanks man! I have to work as my job is "essential" i.e. Airport facilities maintenance My wife and I got the virus in October and I was in the hospital for 11 days. Havent done anything except stay home. We have gone to lunch twice and they were outside seating. I am also a ancient gamer (62) and I appreciate your dedication
I always love these videos because I can relate to how serious you take the pandemic.
21:22 is so true. I assumed that the people around me would have similar beliefs, but that's just not the case. I live in SoCal, so its decent, but people do the bare minimum around here. They wear their masks, but they take it off instantly once its no longer needed, or don't wear masks around their friends because they trust them. I open Instagram or snapchat and see people I know hang out with friends at the beach w/out masks , go to a drive-in rave w/ friends, or dine at a restaurant around strangers in close proximity without masks.
These people make me feel like I'm crazy and paranoid. But I've played enough games with RNG elements to know that transmission rate and death rate are way too high to not take seriously. I've been called paranoid by some acquaintances because I chose not visit my family for the holidays. Wait til they find out I've only been outside 2 times throughout the entire pandemic, they'd probably force me into a psychiatric hospital. The two times outside were for a flu shot and for my first vaccine dose.
This is honestly a comedy sketch and I love it lol
Honestly the main thing keeping me going through quarantine is the fact that I'm not alone in this hell.
i really hope this is satire somehow. this is extremely weird dude. relax, it’s really not that serious you should lock yourself in your house and fear for your life for a year straight. 99% survival rate. live your life dude.
That’s what that they all say until it happens it someone you know 😐
did you watch any of the video? like he said, he’s not worried about himself dying, he’s worried about passing it off to someone else and hurting them. the fatality rate for those over 65 is 220x high than young adults. not a dice i would like to roll if it were my grandparents..
ramble: i get the feeling of superiority. But dont let it posess you. its a slippery slope leading to loneliness and missery, not just in quarentine but in general, even if its true. I live in norway, in an isolated town of about 8000, so i cant say i feel your pain, to the extrnt of isolation you have been through i mean. ive been attending school and feel pretty safe. We have had covid here but more like a couple people a week. as i say i vome from a town of 8000 people and ive pretty much felt isolated my whole life. in a different way of course but still. i can realte to what youre saying. aif i were you id Switch things up. hop in your car and walk the mountains or other nature idk , listen to audio books while you do it. thats helped me through alot. people have been writing books for a long time and there is alot of wisdom to be gained in all different ways. and id say thats a better use of your brain than stupid election fraud conspiracies and recentment over the general population. idiots man. they make me angry. and anger makes me misserable and hopeless. left, right, doesnt matter there are idiots all round. not everybody values the truth, and thats a hard pill to swallow.
Go outside, take a reflective deep breath and stop trying to be a martyr you don’t have to go into enclosed spaces with other people if that terrifies you but if your mental health is a concerning you after a year of confinement the best solution I’d offer would be to stop doing it.
Been quarantining for about the same amount of time, as well. All I can say is, I get where you’re coming from, brother. Just keep trying to stay sane. 👍
I've been following you for years, and I was just concerned on how the quarantine has effected your marriage and relationship to your wife. Just curious &/or concerned
We are still good
the bleach on the shelf says it all....
Drift, you make me feel like I'm not alone in the world.
You are we all are
There's over 7 billion people in this world, and you think you're "alone"?

EDIT: Even a cup of tea doesn't stop the depression. God bless you Drift0r, I hope you come out of this lockdown stronger than anyone! Mental health isn't a joke.
I can't believe you have just been chillin there. I mean I do that too but I still have to go to work. I'm envious of you
I wonder how his immune system is now, after a year of quarantine? It might be weaker and he might
get sick, from something else, less deadly, soon.
Yes me and my coworkers talk about it all the time at work and they are paramedics at my station that say the same thing
Drift0r, thoughts on covid stats/numbers being manipulated?

We all know the real reason he hasn't left the house is to huff all his high IQ farts. Going outside would waste them.
I’m a subscriber from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and Covid hear was more “controlled” due to us being the biggest of the small isles currently were in a state of half and half normalcy and the governor announced that certain schools would get back to operating by March 3. Honestly I don’t know how to feel about it but half of me is like tired of staying at home all day and it has affected me mentally but some how I’ve kept my sanity. Question is how long can I keep it cause every day feels like the dread increases. As a teenager this quarantine has honestly got me in all time low thankfully none of my family members hasn’t gotten COVID. And since we’re semi open now it feels a bit better but not as it use to be. I just hope this ends soon. I now realize that the things I use to take for granted are now the things I need the most.
I work in a gas station and we had a lady come in today who was literally convinced that every time you “tap” your debit or credit card that a percentage of that transaction goes to China, I live in Alberta and I’m not 100% sure that you guys have interac flash (tap) but still found this to be the dumbest thing I’ve heard yet
Proud of you man, been watching you since black ops 2 in depth but stayed for your amazing perspective and point of views. You’re so real? If that’s like a thing I can say, you don’t hide behind anything and are just yourself through the good and the bad, and I appreciate that!
Covids not looking too good even in the UK (although the vaccines are promising), but just keep doing you, and hopefully you and your family stay as safe as possible. ♥️
I’ve always been an introvert with no friends so i never had a reason to go anywhere anyways so I’m doing alright with little to no change
I’m a young person living with my boomer parents because of the pandemic and we’ve never argued more than we did in 2020
Thank you for everything you have done to keep others safe. It’s not something many others have the confidence to do. Remember we’re here for you too.
Crazy enough, as a solo truck driver, Ive unintentionally been self quarantining well before C-19. Thankfully I haven’t gotten sick in over 2 years now and constantly washing my hands and wearing a mask contributed to that.
Hey man, keep your head up and just keep moving forward; it's a marathon not a sprint. Let the dust settle around you.
If you ever want to chat with full confidentiality let me know, just a DM away.
Thank you. This is a hell of a marathon.
This is very strange, I do not understand why anyone would willingly inflict this punishment on themselves
If everyone did that for like 3 weeks simultaneaously one year ago, covid would not be a thing right now
As much as I love you gaming content it's these philosophical videos that keep me coming back. You've defo helped me in the UK. Keep it up driftor.

I’ve been subscribed for a while, Drift0r. It obviously came from the CoD gameplay way back when. The new videos with content like this and your updates have made me enjoy your channel even more. I would love to see more videos about your opinions on politics and science related topics. Please stay sane for us and keep up the awesome videos.
I'm seeing a lot of negative comments so I'm just here to say @Drift0r shows the incredibly high quality of his character in his response to the pandemic.
Thanks for this. I'm twice your age and I liked to be able to work from home a day a week and always thought I would like working from home more. Turns out I need to be around people. I can't wait to go back to work and not work from home anymore. I'm normally pretty active, but even this last year I was even too nervous to go on the trails and be around people. I have been working on both my physical and mental well being and not just hoping for a quick solution, but working on it slowly and accepting that.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I am feeling the exact same things as you are right now and it was a relief to know that someone else's on the same boat as I am. I am bachelor in Québec and my hatred for humanity is just getting stronger and stronger day by day. To top that of, the lack of common sense in my roommate and his friends' consciousness is astounding to me because they break the rules and hangout to this day on a regular basis despite our province having a curfew in place.

Yea Man I feel ya. This pandemic was a game changer for me too. I too feel alienated by the carelessness and ridiculous behavior of the masses. I now feel that humans have always been this way and I just didn’t realize it. Can’t really just give up on humanity though because I have a child. Definitely appreciate this video very much. Glad to know I’m not alone in feeling this way.
It seems like you're more upset that people chose to make different choices than you. Covid is real but it has been politicized to death by a lot of people and you're a prime example on pushing that angle as well. Thinking you have some moral high ground by quarantining is probably a huge source of your anxiety.
it's okay to take a walk man go at night if you have too less people enjoy fresh air for a moment
People have actually quarantined?
The big thing that's helped me in quarantine is hobbies. I got into warhammer 40k and got back into drawing; just something creative to dump your time into. That and making sure to schedule specific times to play social games with the boys helps deal with the isolation.
06:27 I feel you man. I'm pretty sure I platinum'd xvideos
Blame America’s education system. It doesn’t teach you to think critically for yourself, just to pass tests
This man really just unironically said, "I think I'm built different." Hahahahaha. I love ya, drift. I might not agree with you on much of anything but thank god you exist
I live with an at risk individual and have been quarantining since the beginning and man do your words hit home. Specifically the feeling dumber part.
Do you hear yourself? Go outside dude and get a beer with a friend on the patio who also observes social distance guidelines. Good luck Driftor
The gym is not extra! Its nothing like going for a meal or a drink, it’s completely different, It’s how i and probably thousands of other people keep my mind healthy, the gym is my medication!
Get yourself some marijuana...it makes even the most boring things far more entertaining

If you are waiting for covid to be over to live your life its never gonna happen, and as for me I refuse to let the "potential" of a virus that I'm 98 percent gonna survive stop me from seeing my love ones not gonna happen. Every man can choose how to live, but not hos they die 🤷♂️
One thing that can be a huge stress reliever to help take my mind off things is writing a story. Just open up a Word document and start writing a story. Fiction or non-fiction. It can be really therapeutic because you can express your feelings through the characters you come up with. It also can be a lot of fun to just be creative and come up with neat settings and premises. Just a friendly suggestion!
Here are many things I relate to and many things I agree with, altough I experience that I haven’t suffered greatly from social distancing. It has kinda gave me an excuse to not socialize as much, which has bad and a good side. Good side being not having to socialize with jerks and bad side in mental health and overall health. Oh jeez im lucky that I live in Finland and not in America, because most of the things you said about politics and the system in America is true...

I thought I was the only person who thinks that way about people. I always try to protect myself the best I can and I still got covid, I don't think I will never find out how I even got it and it makes me mad.
As a definite right wing person, I too have noticed that the majority of people are just nuts, on both sides.
Yeah I'm with you drift0r, I can't relate to the majority of people. How false information can travel these days with the added fact that people do not do their research is worrying. I think politics is best not mentioned for the foreseeable and that is sad. I personally believe that social media is the main driving force of these changes in human psychology on top of quarantine (which inadvertently leads to more social media consumption). I do not associate with Facebook, Twitter etc. I do watch UA-cam videos now and again and even this platform is tainted. It is generally scary to see what is happening to the average folk.
Damn dude, just go outside.
Also I'm a driver, the world is normal out here. I got it and lived, you need to chill for the sake of your own mental health and stop living in fear. The biggest toll on my mental health from this was learning how totally disposable I am, if I died so you could chill at home stewing in fear, I would be forgotten and replaced without question. It's liberating, knowing that I mean nothing just like you and all of us.
Can't, he's too busy being a self-anointed martyr.
Look man, i get you . Its been a tough year for many if us. I use to have a very active Life before this, working out almost every day, i stopped gaming a year before, a lot more proactive with my son( still am, but there are days that i feel very miserable and cant enjoy my time with him... Now its simply go to work and back home and do any essential task like shoping, etc. But i. Decided that i cant let covid beat me and trying to day by day get back a little of my Life as safely as i can. I totally understand and respect your decision but also keep in mind that even at complete lockdown you may even catch It by a non syntomatic delivery Guy that caught in your mail ....stay safe , stay healthy and try to gain a little bit of your sanity back
Yeah, I was also in the habit of going to the gym 5 to 6 days a week. Now, I almost never go outside anymore. I had a part-time job at the university, but uni has been closed for half a year now. Some of my friends there have not even seen their family in a year. This had undeniably been a brutal year for all of us.
Luckily I never really felt like it was necessary to go out that much, and I can still work out and study at home. I have also started cycling outside to get some fresh air a few times a week. We can totally make it through this with the right mindset, it makes all the difference!
Best of luck to you and your son!
You tanked your mental health for essentially nothing? Covid isn’t that scary, take care of yourself first
The amount of people shitting on him in the comments has restored my faith in humanity. 😌
Im so happy that ive only known one person whos actually gotten covid
I got COVID too but i am asymptomatic.
Bro my whole damn family got it, and my sister (who was the initial infection), is still a hard core Covid denier :/
I know a few folks and they're still living so just stay safe lads
Driftor my guy, I love your content and I am sorry that you are feeling the way you're feeling. This is an excellent message that I think the majority (sadly) of people need to see.
let me add that I would like to virtually give you a bro hug, like man you deserve it for all the work and suffering you are going through to do the right thing for humanity, who apparently don't care for that favor
Thank you
