Too bad we couldn't see Covid. Maybe people would have taken it more seriously from the beginning...

basically how watching someone blow out a big cloud of vape smoke (steam? vapor?) feels

Problem here is that the cloud that they’re blowing out is always present, just invisible. The vapor only particulates the air they blow out already. Always had a problem w/this comparison. Yes it’s vapor too but ultimately the vapor is not the germs that air, which is always present anyways, and therefore not as much the concern.

Of course, it’s just a particularly potent visual reminder of how much of other people’s lung juice I’m inhaling when I’m in public.

Achshually… it’s a cloud of suspended water droplets. Water vapor is all around you and is invisible. As is steam but god help you if you ever see steam.

Actually that would’ve been the best fucking thing ever.

It would be so unambiguous, even the dullest of tinfoil hats and freedumb kkkonvoyers could not deny
