Inconsiderate sister
My 18 Year old sister at this point wants me to hate her she constantly leaves the house everyday to do stupid shit, she says she’s going to the store but is really going to other people’s house to smoke or other stuff that idk. She walks out with a mask but takes it off once she’s outside, she doesn’t believe that corona virus is real and is being an ignorant fuck, me and my mom have to see her ass still since her college campus isn’t letting anyone on yet until a few months, I was counting down to this month in hopes that she could leave but now that she can’t I have trouble bearing with her being around me, especially with her putting our health at stake everyday over idiotic shit. What is there to do about this? She’s not a great listener so telling her anything wouldn’t be effective honestly.

You know what they say, a Hard head makes a soft Ass. at this point there is nothing that you can do. The fact that you keep telling her that what she can and cannot do is upsetting your sister more. The truth hurts. She know about the virus but don't want to follow the rules, but when it it home she will see. Let her do what she does but let it be know that until she uses the masks and sanitizes she need to stay away. she need to watching the news more especially about the college students that have the virus that don't want to wear a mask. You don't want to make yourself sick trying to prove a point.

She needs to have her cage rattled and get a dose of reality. She's not going to listen to you or your mother. I think what she needs is for a doctor to lay it out for her that Covid-19 is real and prove it. I think your mom should call patient relations at the nearest hospital and tell them that you have a really inconsiderate brat on your hands that doesn't believe Covid-19 is real and is putting herself and others at risk every single day.
Maybe they can take her through the hospital or to meet a doctor from the frontlines that can tell her where ignorance will get her or they can introduce her to families that have been affected so she can see reality.
You shouldn't have to put up with this. You also have every right exuse my language to tell her she's being a self-centered asshole risking your life and your mom's and tell her to wear a mask if she's going out and when she's coming back as you don't need the virus nor her around if she can't put herself second to you and your mother.
If I were your mom I would tell her to start observing Covid-19 protocols and not hang out with people or forego masks and that if she can't do that go live with someone else ie relatives etc and follow suit if you have to.
She has to see the conseequences of what she is doing and where she and your family could end up. You need to find someone other than you and your mother to lay into her about this and then maybe she'll get it.
Why does she believe Covid-19 isn't real? Who has convinced her? Find out why she fels she's indistructable and why she can't wear a mask or obey rules? She's getting this shit from somewhere and in order to counter it you have to figure out why she believes nonsense in the first place. If she has several people lay into her about her behavior it may embarass her enough to make changes.

This is a difficult situation because on the one front your mom should speak to her and lay down the rules - if you want to live in that house it means following the rules and wearing a mask. But, reality of the situation is that there is absolutely no way to know that if she is doing this.
Over here barely anyone wears a mask outside in public, it just isn't necessary because of such open space so her taking it off when she leaves the house is not a big deal. When she visits people she might be wearing it or keeping her distance - there is no real way to know.
All I can suggest is that your mom talk to her about the situation and explain that whether she believes it is real or not, you and your mom believe it is real and want to be safe. Your anger at the situation is obvious and resorting to throwing insults back and forth will solve nothing. I am unsure where you are from but here (UK) going outside has been encouraged but they do ask that you are smart about it and keep yourself and others safe. This is all she needs to do unless the situation where you are is different.
