'If you're still COVIDing, you've likely heard phrases, like "it's mild now,"
or "you have to live your life," repeated over and over. You might be
wondering, "what do I even say here? How do I respond to this?" I've listed
some of the most common minimizing phrases and some potential responses to
them. Feel free to adapt these and make them your own. I've included a variety
of responses with different tones, depending on how much you want to be
#saltingthevibes.

I want to recognize you might not always have the time or emotional energy to
get into these discussions. Some people unfortunately aren't engaging in good
faith, so it's important to be able to discern for yourself when you want to
have these conversations. You don't always have to educate people, it can be
exhausting! For those times when you want to respond but are at a loss for
words in the moment, here are some ideas to get you started.'
