I wouldn’t say I’m hurt. More embarrassed that I accepted a definition without further scrutiny.

My philosophy is to always be learning. Sometimes trauma impedes it and a wake up call is necessary. So I appreciate your time and thoughtful response and will take this lesson as an opportunity to do better for myself.

I wasn't strictly talking about the definition of covidiot, I was referring to the virus' transmissibility; indoors vs outdoors.

There has been a lot of misinformation during covid, from both sides, and virtually everyone needs to accept that they were wrong about certain things.

For example, I was forced to change my mind about the safety of the vaccine. I still personally believe most people should have been vaccinated, but we need to accept that it didn't do what was expected.

At the end of the day, Covid is a respiratory virus, and the consensus of indoors vs outdoors transmissibility had been reached decades ago.

I appreciated the measured response, it's rare to see people sincerely reflect on their beliefs so quickly without feeling condescended.
