Yeah right. Keep telling yourself that.

Hahahhaa. You sound like a lot of fun. Glad people like you are staying home, don't have to deal with COVID KARENS in public.

People like you is the reason why Covid will always be around. If you would just stay home and mask up in the limited instances where you need to leave the home, it would be better.

I love this argument. All about moral superiority. Lady, even China with their massive lockdowns where they welded people into their homes could not stop the spread. Humans cannot stop nature. Virus is going to virus and no amount of hand sanitzer, masks, and weird covid rituals work.

Please girl. All the preventative measures work - that’s how things got better and will continue to do so. People should stay home and try not to socialize or go out to public places, especially those indoors, and schools should go virtual to minimize the spread. Doing so is best for the community as a whole. It’s not that hard to doordash and instacart everything! Spend more quality time with your immediate family!

The vaccines worked. That’s what got us out of this mess. Not masks. Not virtual school. Not a two week shutdown.

Not quite. Vaccines made us comfortable enough to leave our homes en masse and get infected, which provided some real immunity, which is what actually got us out of this mess. The reason cases went down is the reduction in available hosts because people built up infection-induced immunity.

Actually, the virus is mutating fast enough that your "immunity" doesn't protect you as much as you think. That's why people are having Covid multiple times, and sometimes getting sicker the more times they have it.

At least the vaccines and some immunity mean a significantly smaller number of people are dying.

Well, right, but that’s the point. Vaccine and infection-induced immunity made covid effectively equivalent to other common viral infections, like influenza.

My brother just texted that he and his wife have Covid. First time for him. Second for her. Says he feels like he has the flu. They live in Chicago.

With "this" you mean people's paranoia and misinformation, right?

Actually I rarely if ever comment here. And fyi paranoia is not the same as hysteria, even if true there's some correlation as you very well prove.

Get a life. Do exercise. Eat well. Get your vaccines. And move on.
