At least here where I live people are already very irritated. My family in Québéc have hardly seen any impact beyond the media (except for Radio X) of the "pandemic."
My mother had COVID but wasn't aware until she had a PCR test, so it's not like it was severe.

I have no problem with with some smells being strong. I burn incense a lot during the harvest season here to cover up the manure smell in the air. However disinfectants are so much worse than Nag Champa or Sandalwood.

Elaborate on this, I'm curious.

Also as someone who's very sensitive to certain smells, I can tell when a place was disinfected in the past hour. I used to work in kitchens and at the end of the day we'd just dump a bleach solution on everything.
It paid well but I quit because I couldn't handle the smell.

I really don't like how I can't immediately dispute that.

Several microbiologists have come out against things like anti bacterial soap saying it (inadvertently) creates stronger bacteria.
Whoops.

I can unfortunately very much confirm this. My parents refuse to believe that sometimes the government lies or is just straight up incompetent. However no matter what we do, Anglo Canada hates us simply for existing.

Overuse of disinfectants can have bad respiratory effects

As someone who has all of the above plus two bonus illnesses because apparently this is a fucking combo deal — where do I fit in?
@matrix I know it's a stupid meme but this "white people can't handle spice" meme is almost exclusively anglo American upper middle class folks. Those outside of that group love spicy food.
If you go into any working class white house, I guarantee there's at least one bottle of hot sauce there.
@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty honestly I see where you're coming from, but autism is a bit different than epilepsy. Some people see autism as a positive trait, and in many STEM fields it fucking is. Epilepsy? Idk man.
Full disclosure: I also have PTSD and chronic pain disorders. So I can see what you mean but also it's not inherently a positive.
@LukeAlmighty "person with autism" sounds a bit negative and somewhat like "oh you poor dear" where "autistic person" is just "this is Luke, he's an autist."
I kinda like that the internet is starting to make "autist" popular again because that's just shorter and easier. [Also it's been that way in french and perhaps other languages for years now.]
Au soir, les catholiques français traditionnels ont empêché que leur église soit utilisée à mauvais escient pour accueillir un concert profane. (Nantes)
C'est pourquoi il faut qu'on gatekeep notre communautés.
Traditional French Catholics have tonight blocked their church in Nantes from being misused to host a secular concert.
This is why it's important to gatekeep our communities!
@Terry It's only because I have an opportunity for a full time position coming up. @ArdanianRight @liam @senisterity
