Anyone changing behavior due to the latest uptick in Covid?

Funny. About 50% of the grocery store I was at was masked today.

Probably Arlington.

Umm. Do you recall how many dead there were? How sick people were getting? I’m not taking that chance with my littles or fam.

That was all before vaccines. Not many people dying anymore, and you and your “littles” are probably at low risk to begin with. Are you really going to pull them out if school each time you read about an “uptick?”

Vaccines aren’t stopping transmission. How hard is that to get?

They are reducing the serious illness and death. It is making Covid just another disease. Are there still risks? Sure. Bu please remember the whole “masking is for other people” thing was before there were good masks available to the public. There is no need for most people to stay home or mask. If you feel you need to socially isolate from others - and risk all the negative things that go with that- go ahead. But stop trying to drag the rest of us with you. Schools need to stay in-person, because virtual schooling was a joke. Our kids have been harmed enough by it.

Where? Because then Wegmans in NW off Ridge Road I saw exactly 1 masked person. And it was as crowded as ever on a Sunday.

Omicron is a milder variant which is why there is less serious illness and death in both vaccinated and unvaccinated.

No way this is true.

I doubt that. You're hilarious. When is your next stand up show?

The 'public' never wore good masks. I sure didn't. I wore a buff most of the time because I wasn't going to spend money on stupid face masks just because a rando politician told me to and I knew they did nothing. Eventually, stopped wearing the buff and used the surgical masks provided by the stores. If they wanted me to wear a mask, then they can give me it.

Again, masks do nothing. Why wasn't anyone masking prior to 2020 when they were sick? If they work so well, we would've prevented so much sickness and disease.

All logic goes out the window when it comes to COVID karens!

I am guessing I'm part of your "demographic" (female, mid-30s, healthy, fit, no comorbidities) and I was very sick for two weeks with Covid in late 2020. I am now vaccinated and much less concerned about how my body would react if I got it again, but your statement about making a mistake AGAIN is total BS. People in your demographic DIED in 2020-21.

NP, but sure, a 30 year old could die of COVID, but chances are, they had other major health issues - especially being morbidly obese. Healthy, fit 30 year old people are not dying in the street of CoViD.

I got COVID twice. It wasn't fun, but hey, PEOPLE.GET.SICK. And the majority of us, like yourself, WILL BE FINE.

But keep playing pandemic for the rest of your life! The rest of the world has moved on. Covid was huge, huge mistake and a big example on sunk cost fallacy.

I never changed my behavior based on covid. The restrictions, sure, I was forced to changed based on those. But I'm sure as hell not changing anything now.

-obese person who should be dead according to politicians and the media.

N-95 in public places like grocery store, metro, flights and medical setting.

Flu shot for the entire family, asap (at least 2 weeks before school opens.)

You couldn't make a better argument for restrictions if you tried.

No it is only the vaccinated who deal with it better.

You think masks don’t help reduce the spread of diseases because nobody wore them? That’s exactly the reason why it was required.

It’s scary out there these days. I thought it was all behind us. We’ve stopped going to the stores if we don’t need to - all Insta art/door dash/Amazon. We aren’t meeting friends unless outside.
