43.

I'm not trying to be cocky. I work with kids 5 days a week, who are germy, maskless, and get right in your face. I go to the gym several days a week, have traveled, eat indoors, am social, and still no covid. It's just my reality. I do however, have a hard reaction to the shots.

Would you get a 2nd booster if you're due?

As someone who is compromised and can't do all this-this sounds crazy to me. You either have amazing luck or an aamzing immune system or are one of the people who got covid and had no symptoms and never knew/and or could have passed it on to someone like me.

Them doing a booster will not help you as it is not stopping transmission. I’ve basically been home for the past two years as is my family and rarely seeing anyone. No one cares about anyone but themselves so you have to protect yourself. We live in a selfish society who is raising the next generation of selfish kids. My kid does one activity unmasked as they cannot mask and I suspect they brought it home but home test was negative. I was sick for over a month.

I agree with pp that you are the selfish one. If is extremely selfish of you to expect everyone to put their lives on hold or decrease their quality of life, because of your health issues. I'm sorry for your predicament, but it's entirely on you and your family.

WHO is asking you to put your life on hold? Putting a mask on to go to a store is very little to ask for your fellow HUMAN BEINGS that a burden and stressed with LIFE LONG DISEASE AND ILLNESSES this is the LEAST YOU could do to help others. YOU are a very discusting and selfish person if you think your life is worth more because you are born blessed healthy than those who are not. Pray to God you never get ill and know what it is to live on this side of the fence for even a slip second.

NP. You are vastly overestimating how much others wearing a mask at the store does to protect you. It's really not worth fighting about. Masks are a small burden, but they are still a burden, and most people don't want to wear them indefinitely. Just put on your N95 when you go out and stop trying to shame people into permanently adopting a novel behavior that really doesn't do anything to make you safer.

You poor baby. It’s so haaaaard!

It’s harder than not wearing one. I had to wear a mask a couple times since the VA mandate was lifted last May, and it certainly made me appreciate that it’s not a regular thing.

Exactly. I never thought wearing a mask to the store is that bad (which says nothing about how hard it is to be wearing one all day long), but after I stopped wearing it regularly this spring, I did notice it much more when I put it back on while visiting a doctor's office.

The PP is not going to get anywhere with her continued attempts to infantilize people who think wearing one is not nothing. Masks aren't natural to humans, and feeling that way has nothing to do with maturity, especially when the benefit to society is unproven and there are obvious social harms.

No I will get a second booster when eligible. There was a whole series of threads about young healthy people getting the first booster before they were eligible. There are a lot of people with anxiety on this forum.

Getting a booster before eligible is health anxiety or virtue signaling one up man ship.

Ditto. I was exposed to omicron in December when my son had it but I didn’t catch it. One month later, I caught it from one of my coworkers (both were boosted). They were all sick in bed while I had the sniffles and a scratchy throat for a week. I’m almost 60 so in the risk pool.

No. Husband and child had covid last month and I avoided it. Hubby had booster least than 6 weeks before. I think either you have some random immunity to covid or your dont. Either it will be a serious illness for you or it will be a cold. We simply don’t know enough.
I don’t think endless booster shots are the answer.

DH and I have one booster but we're not heading for a second one anytime soon. Particularly since we all got covid last month.

Unless things change, which they may, we don't plan on getting our kids a booster.

No. We did not, and do not plan to get it.

No. I’m not eligible (45 yo woman with no risk factors), so that’s the main reason. The other consideration is that much of my social time during summer is outdoors, usually at the pool, so I don’t think it’s a particularly risky time of year for me generally. Come Fall, my thinking might change.

I’m anticipating most people will be recommended to have annual COVID shots, the way flu shots are recommended now. I typically get the latter, and will gladly get the former, if approved and recommended.
