My very bad “allergies” was Breakthrough Covid the whole time and I feel horrible about it.

I agree.

I also agree. It's just a mild cold if you got vaccinated. If you didn't get vaccinated then that's on you. Let the Delta variant spread faster and burn out I say!

This.

I don't know what to think about it, but a year and a half of lockdowns in Canada did not work. It scared the population out of their minds, my friend won't hand out inside, eat on a patio for fear of covid! Vaccinated with Moderna all in her family.
But she gave me a bowl of strawberries she cut! So I guess she is only worried about me infecting her? I am also fully vaccainted.
I suspect elections are looming and people, even timid Canadians had enough. Though, their enough has no limits, tbh!

Alberta is the Texas/Florida of Canada. Elections are looming and they're throwing red meat to their base, same as a DeSantis or Abbott here. Doesn't mean it's right or based in sound policy (see: outraged doctors).

We will probably get our annual flu shots in early August, so that we are protected till maybe December or Jan. If COVID continues rising then we will be working from home anyways so we are not worried about what happens beyond Jan. I was expecting that schools would not open till March 2022...so I am mentally prepared.

One family member had J&J vaccine so we will see if they can get the pfizer booster shot. Maybe time to get addtional booster shots too....

What? No school until next March? Is that a typo. My kids were in school all last year. Schools have been opened are opening this fall delta or no delta. Hopefully it will retreat like it did in England and India.

+1. At some point it’s the most at risk people that need to protect themselves. They need to stay at home, avoid crowds and indoor places. We can’t hide for ever. If you are at risk, wear your masks, don’t meet up with friends, etc.
I have no pre existing condition and I don’t really know anyone that does (perhaps not aware)…

Exactly!

I came to say that I had bad allergies last week and they were just bad allergies. That's it. Go figure.

Exactly. There's nothing to get mad about. Just TEST, and go on with your life if it's negative, and isolate if it's positive. End of story. This should be automatic by now.

God this is such a selfish point of view. The immunocomprised should just continue to live like hermits so the rest of us can go back to "normal"? The more the rest of the world does go back to normal, the harder it becomes for the immunocomprosed to stay safe. Eff you.

DP, but I find your attitude profoundly selfish - expecting the rest of the world to accommodate you, and to care more about your health than you. Only you can protect you. You can live a pretty normal life if you wear a kn95 anywhere.

How long should children miss out on their educations, social lives, activities to accommodate people who have already had their lives? Maybe PP should think about children or people other than herself for once. She can stay home but wants to shop in Target without all those pesky dirty children around. The irony of the selfish calling others selfish.

This shit all over again!! It's selfish to want you to wear a tiny bit of cloth over your face so people don't die?? Immunocomprosed people still need to work, to eat, to go to doctor's appointments (and go to school!), etc. - and every one of you who refuses to wear a mask, or goes out while sick, because you "did your part by getting vaccinated, that's enough now," is complicit in making it harder for those people to live their lives and not get sick. Do you also refuse cars with airbags because you wear your seatbelt?

Where did I say there wouldn't be masks? Do you also refuse to read posts before responding? I wonder what all these "immunocomprosed" people did before 2020. How's your rampant and unchecked anxiety going?

Oh wow, you are just so smart and perceptive. "I don't have covid, so someone else doesn't either. They must be making that up."

I agree with this. I’ve been tested and tested and tested. Negative negative negative. Even with exposure to positive cases.

The world isn’t really doing anything to allow immunocompromised people to stay home. My cousin is a nurse in a hospital dialysis unit. She works with very ill people who are waiting for transplants. Many of them can’t even get social security disability so they could stay home and NOT live in poverty. One of her patients was working until the day before she was admitted and is worried that if she survives a kidney transplant, she will return home to an eviction as the moratorium is ending.

Tell everyone you were in contact with.

This is why I wish the IS would institute a test and trace program like the UK has. Everyone who wants to is sent two free home covid tests to do a week.

You may not have said there wouldn't be masks, but you also didn't say there WOULD be. The +1 poster I was originally replying to put ALL the burden on immunocomprised people to protect themselves. But my point is it needs to be a community effort. There are SO MANY posts in this thread and other of vaccinated people who don't want to go back to wearing masks because... they just don't want to?

I don't make the rules. I wear a mask when I'm supposed to and don't when it's not required. You can't say on one hand it's a "community effort" when you don't seem to care much about the majority of the community because you think you have the right to never be sick.

You could by asymptomatic and still have allergies. It's not a one or the other.
