There are no studies showing repeated infections are cool. There are many studies showing they are doing disturbing damage long-term.

Because this information is inconvenient to your life, you choose to ignore it.

No one is asking you not to live your life. Sadly, if we all just lived life a little more responsibly, it would be safer for us all to be free to do so. We went to Disneyworld last year, we fly on planes, we eat in restaurants... but we do so cautiously. We mask. We use mouthwash and nasal spray. Air purifiers. These simple things do quite a lot.

If everyone used them, your elderly relatives would probably be still alive.

Mouthwash and nasal spray? lol. I hope you're not forgetting your essential oils! Maybe some antiparasitics, too.

The studies on enovid for reducing viral load seem pretty solid. But carry on. We do this because we have a social conscience and don't like getting sick. You are free to keep on being sick and infecting other people.

I am very curious of this “social conscience” of yours wherein you engage in covid protection rituals to protect the 99% of people who are not doing any of that. Do you see yourself sort of like a missionary, protecting the ignorant masses on Pirates of the Carribean who do not use the special nasal spray?

No. Do you see yourself as some kind of clever wit, capable of crossing swords with me on an internet forum?

Sorry, even before COVID rotted your brain you weren't capable.

To address your inane point again, no. I just do what we can do to both live our lives and stay safe. The fact that you don't consider your own children more important than indoor pilates and your manicures is your problem.

I'm sorry, but going to Disney and eating in restaurants is not cautious. This is why it's hard to take some of you seriously.

but she uses special mouthwash and nasal spray, so that means her family is allowed to virtuously fly to Disney unlime the rest of us unhygenic sinners.

it could not be MORE clear that people like PP use covid rituals as part of their identities, nothing to do with actual rational risk assessments.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Taking precautions not to catch a debilitating illness repeatedly isn't a hobby.

Being afraid to take precautions because you don't want to look like you're virtue-signaling is just flat-out pathetic. Are you a grown adult person? I sure hope you're pretty because I don't see you offering any measurable contribution to a profession, or to your family.

Our carpool friends used to do this and we got sick so many times or had to take care of our sick kid as a result. Ugh.

DH and I both recently had COVID. Our kids never had any symptoms so we kept sending them to school. It’s entirely possible they were asymptomatic and positive. And there’s no way I’m keeping them home just because they might be harboring something. We keep them home when sick, but that isn’t some magical protection against germs since so much stuff is circulating before symptoms show up or while asymptomatic anyway.

Also while last winter was brutal and we got sick a lot, we just accepted it. This winter my kids are barely sick. The more they’re exposed to germs the less we all get sick — it was the immediate aftermath of COVID policies that had us coming down with everything that our bodies had no recent immunity to.

Is that a typo? Your kids possibly had covid because you and spouse had it and you didn’t test to confirm and sent them to school? That doesn’t make sense. It that what you meant, can’t be?

Wearing. A. Mask.

But you won't because you're afraid of how it might look.

From my observations, 80% of families in MoCo follow pre-Covid commonsense rules on keeping kids home from school. If they have a fever or can't stay awake, they stay home, then they go back when they feel better. People have stopped testing because it's easier to deal with their lives if they don't know. Every cold is like Schrodinger's cat. In rural areas, it's probably 95% who don't test. This is healthy and normal, as this ceased being a pandemic 18 months ago. I do not understand the preoccupation with liberals using Covid good behavior as a political cudgel. It's self-defeating.

you cannot possibly be this dense. no symptoms = not sick. we are not quarantining or testing with no symptoms.

Covid tests are expensive too. Nobody is running out to spend $20 to test a cold.

In Montgomery County, you can get them for free at the library.
