That would require empathy and mild effort.

We’ve spent the past 2.5 yrs masking, having events cancelled, missing a significant amount of school days to closures and quarantines, missing weddings and funerals, having events cancelled. Covid hit our family last month. One parent had a head cold for a week, 2 kids asymptomatic, one parent and one kid unaffected. What a waste of 2 yrs

I had COVID in the spring of 2020. It was HELL. That's why I got vaccinated as soon as I could -- I didn't want to ever go through being that sick again.

It would have been much worse if we had not done all the things you listed to try to manage the pandemic before we all had a chance to get vaccinated. Of course you had a mild case NOW. But keep having mild cases run through your family, workplace and friend group over and over. Then get back to us about how much effort we should put into stopping the spread.

Same. And it’s the potential quieter vascular and neurological issues that most concern me. Having a “mild” covid experience that is causing deeper internal damage. I’m less concerned about a week of discomfort, this stuff wreaks havoc in so many other ways. Prefer to avoid.

That's what the fear mongers make you believe, but there is actually no evidence that it is a concern in the average mild infection in a healthy person.

I heard an interview on a news bit on TV, where the reporter was interviewing a BBQ chef. She said, "Tell me about the wings. Is that a different cooking?" And he said, "Yeah, it's a different cooking." WTH. I really think stumbling over basic language is a post-COVID symptom. My otherwise healthy young adult and teen kids are having a hard time coughing up simple words, too.

Do you know the covid status of the BBQ chef? Why do you think he was suffering from post covid brain issues instead of just being nervous about being interviewed? Such a bizarre example.

I'm flying in 2 weeks for a sibling's wedding and I do not want to catch covid. Everyone I know right now who has flown has come down with it.

What's even worse is that I know someone who flew out on Saturday WITH covid because she only had light cold symptoms and she'd rather be sick on vacation than sick at home with a canceled vacation. Selfish ass hats is why we'll never be rid of this.

I flew SWA last week and all the flight attendants were masked. About 10 percent of passengers were. An older guy said to the flight attendants quite loudly, “I wish they didn’t make you gals wear those masks. When do you think they will?”

Both attendants immediately responded: oh we don’t have to wear masks! We want to! You’d be nuts not to mask with so many people crowded in like this!

I'm prone to motion sickness and wearing a mask (particularly a quality, well fitted one) makes it worse. Would you like me to puke on your lap while riding the metro?

But since we are talking about empathy, I hope you would at least have some empathy for the hearing impaired that rely on lip movement and have really had a hard time with everyone wearing masks. Guessing you don't know anyone like that personally but they would consider it more that "mild" effort.

You assume too much.

So do you have empathy for those who find indefinite masking less "mild effort" than you or not?

Absolutely. Especially when they’re not trolls posing as someone that has an issue with masks.

Not sure why you think I'm a troll, my aunt is hearing impaired. Luckily for her she doesn't live here though. I just get tired of blanket statements about masks being "easy" and "no effort" and only selfish people don't wear them, blah blah blah. Some of you should stop and think before posting blanket statements.

The reporter said it first. Why would the reporter be nervous?

I know people use anecdotes all the time to try to corroborate theories that can only be corroborated by data, but this one takes the cake in terms of stupidity and irrelevance.

Just wait. This is a symptom and will be confirmed soon enough.

NP. I had a mild case of covid in May and have had trouble with word recall and aphasia since then. I hate it. And I'm a bit scared.

You have a funny definition of gaslighting. Do you really think the PP's TV anecdote, which wasn't even about people she knows have had Covid, was useful? If so, nobody can help you.

Find a good acupuncturist. It can really help. Time will as well. I’d suggest mine but don’t want the bully on this thread to bother them.

I understand the subtext of what you’re sharing. I hope your kids feel better soon.
