Kids now out of school for 5-10 days (depends on jurisdiction). Have fun!

Going to Disney next weekend. Can’t wait!

Okay, and?

Nothing more. That was it.

Hospitalizations and death rate is what really matters. Flu-like symptoms at home will always be around for susceptible individuals. Work to beef up your immunity if you want.

FYI, today the case numbers are shooting up. Deaths are still on the decrease though, thankfully. Hopefully we are approaching the peak but it will most likely not be until mid-May.

How do you “beef up” your immunity?

Staying locked at home. Not in taking sun (vitamin D). Consuming fast food and processed crap. Not doing exercise. Watching a LOT of tv, especially mainstream media hammering fear and paranoia non stop.

THATS EXACTLY HOW YOU BEEF UP YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

And, what if we are doing those things? You cannot beef up your immune system and stop covid based off just eating better and taking vitamin D. Grow up.

Why don't you read articles about the benefits of vitamin D, sunshine, exercise, healthy food before dismissing it out of hand? Its not a "cure" for covid obviously, but a leading cause of covid mortality is obesity - so better exercise / not being overweight would be generally beneficial and increase survival odds. It probably would have made economic sense (to reduce hospitalization costs) if everyone could have been paid more to exercise during the pandemic.

Vitamin d is important but you are looking for drama when that’s not why people are getting Covid. You can be very healthy and get Covid.

And the statistical likelihood of COVID being anything other than a weak flu or bad cold like experience is essentially zero if you control for your own health and don’t have some condition not of your own making. That’s the truth.

The pandemic is over. Cower in the corner if you want. The rest of humanity is moving on.

There is no humanity with people like you. Personally I don't want a flu or bad cold...I dont get why you would.

So you’re going to wear a mask and face shield for the rest of your life so you don’t ever get a cold or the flu? Impressive! Let me know how that goes.

Actually, it's going really well. My allergies are better too. This is the healthiest I have been in years.

You’re probably less healthy than you think. If you’re not being exposed to all kinds of germs on a daily basis, you’re immune system is going to forget how to work. Good luck with that.

My virologist neighbor laughed when I told her your claim that the immune system is going to forget how to work. You must know something she doesn’t.

While “forgetting how to work” may have been a poor choice of words, I’d be shocked if your virologist neighbor didn’t think shielding yourself from all germs would have negative ramifications down the road.

Talked about that too and she didn’t put much stock into that and dismissed that claim.

NP. Virologists have been behind all sorts of non-evidence based recommendations during this pandemic, so I'll take anything they say with a grain of salt. Now if she was an immunologist, I'd be more interested, and I would be quite surprised if they thought eliminating all exposures to respiratory viruses for the rest of a young adult's life was a good idea.

Classic. “I have no medical degree or advanced degree, so I’m just going to ignore someone WAY more intelligent than me because I don’t like what they say.” The hubris. Truly Darwinism.

Actually, I do have a PhD, and I also said I’d be interested in the opinion of an immunologist on this issue, but apparently you have trouble with reading comprehension.

Or you miss a vacation, or 5 or more days of school right before AP exams, or whatever else is important to you. If being out of commission for five plus days right now sounds unappealing, look at the increasing case count and act accordingly.

Interestingly, the epicenter of the new sub-variant is in central NY State where they are seeing a re-infection rate of nearly 3 times the average elsewhere in the state. It is too soon to tell what that means, but it's possible that the holiday Omicron infection might not provide as much protection as we hope.

No one hoped that. We hoped that the holiday omicron would pass as a blip. And it did.

I’m going to ask here right now.

She is an immunologist and has some medical training with virology and occasionally will do research with them virologists.
Her being called a doctor carries because she is an MD, your supposed PhD is not synonymous with being called a doctor. Otherwise, lawyers could claim to be doctors as well.
Netter luck next time.
