The pandemic mentally fucked some people forever. It’s not just guys. More than a few women I liked and respected are now just unreadable. They rant and rave about Covid ending civilization and their poor understanding of immunology day in and day out. They obviously had never been through anything really adverse before and could not handle the stress of the pandemic. And now we are all suffering from their lack of resilience.

One woman I knew personally (who never even caught Covid, at least when I knew her) went through a complete mental break, got fired from her job, and devolved even further into weird conspiracy theories. It was (and I mean this sincerely, as I liked her) sad to witness.
