How long will "our own" disregard us?

Until it is them. That is why I chose the phrase "Don't wait to care" to add to the Alice Wong community quilt project.  But as our own collaborators continue to disregard well document mitigations for airborne diseases and continue to disregard and abandon us, I am left to wonder who will be left when they kill us then then die soon after themselves, feeling as sorry as they can be when it is too late?  I am already playing it risky by going into unmasked spaces with the masked "encouraged" spaces, as if it isn't a slap in the face to all those who are excluded by such bullshit responses, but to then be invited and subsequently disinvited for asking for them to care about not killing me is it's own kind of sting.
