And to me, this is why we're loosening up a little now.

For families like ours, with a high risk member, this is going to be a long haul. It's likely that we'll be very restricted again come May. So, taking a chance to do some things while the numbers are low, like we did last summer, and catch our breath before resuming precautions when the risk goes up, makes sense to me.

I hope they'll approve a fourth shot for our high risk person before this comes.

I know. I'm trying to figure out what events/activities I should get done *now* before the next surge comes and we have to protect our high risk member.

China didn't make Americans refuse to wear masks and get vaccinations. We did that all by ourselves. Free will and all that.

Honestly baffling.

Agree. Phenomenal.

So myopic in your zeal to blame Americans with zero clue about how the virus affected the rest of the world. Small, childlike (maybe teenage) type thinking clearly from someone who doesn’t have a sophisticated understanding of the world.

Well, they actually tried pretty hard to warn everyone, handed out the details of the virus in early January, shut down entire cities to stem the spread.

No, I don't blame China for welcoming the virus to America. I blame you for spreading it to everyone you know.

Nah, still blame China.

Me too. And they were NOT transparent initially.

Vulnerable people have had TWO years to arrange their lives in a way that manages their personal risk; be it through vaccines, masking or a lifestyle that puts them in less contact with the public. I am tired and unwilling to up-end my life yet again to accommodate those that have not.

Exactly. If someone died from COVID because they didn't get vaccinated? Not my problem.

"We need to mask to save the hospitals from becoming overburdened" = never happened even at the peaks.

You're so immunocompromised that COVID is a threat even with a vaccine = you need to stay at home. Others masking outside isn't going to save you (and let's be honest - are you really, genuinely, immunocompromised?).

Oh well. We'll go back to masking in public if we feel the need for our family. I know we'll get it eventually. Definitely buying a few extra tests this week. Trying to find them in December and failing was a nightmare.

I've been following this FB page for about a year or so. Pretty good info in general but I do have to admit, some of these people are so Covid cautious, I feel bad for their families.

Frankly I think the "your local epidemiologist" has been really enjoying her celebrity status during Covid and is really trying to ride that train forever. She is another one who seems to want this to last forever. She's a person just like the rest of us and has no idea what will happen just like the rest of us. Her whole "the virus will keep mutating" comment is clearly meant to scare people. And thats exactly what she is hoping for so you keep giving her the those clicks and she can keep having that clout.

I am not understanding what you are saying never happened? That we didn’t stop the hospitals from being overwhelmed or that they didn’t get more overwhelmed in other places where fewer people wore masks?

I am sorry that I was so selfish as to make my really genuinely immune compromised child out of the house for chemo. Obviously that was a planning error on my part.

How are vaccines holding up to BA2?

Can’t wait for people to blame it on lifting the mask mandate in schools . . . .
