You’ve got a point, but in this particular case where the person was instructing a mass audience that anyone who does more than her about the situation is doing so out of mental illness rather than greater information, it falls very flat.
I def think this highlights how “I mask”, “I’m COVID cautious/conscious”, etc. mean a spectrum of different things to different folks…at this point I rely on fuller conversation to better understand what people really mean/communicate what my precautions look like.
