I was one of those who stayed shut inside for 2020 and I now regret it because it was a bunch of fear and nothing more.

Not saying it’s not a bad disease, but I’m treating it like the flu and moving on with living. I took 3 shots, masked all 2020-2021, and I’m sick of being gaslit.

All of this.

You were not gaslit. Unfortunately following the rules wasn’t enough. That’s why so many have fatigue over caring about precautions. Being good isn’t always enough to protect you. To be honest that’s true if pretty much anything. I hear you though. Realize not caring won’t matter to the virus if you cone across it anyway. Hopefully you’ll not get any version though.

I think you totally missed the point. The PP isn’t angry he got it, he is angry is went to great lengths for a year+ thinking he would be gravely sick, and it was a cold.

That’s pretty simplistic and a bit of retroactive rose colored glasses. It was not a simple cold two years ago.

It’s no big deal to some, but not for others. It is pretty miserable. Happy to share if anyone wants to see for themselves.

Which can make more sense with how much more crowded it is there. Makes it even funnier that people here are worried about getting it while walking their down alone on a sidewalk.

But I would say that most people there, even workers, weren’t masked. I think a good majority of the population in this country are done with the masking and living normally. It’s taking bigger cities longer to get there than smaller parts of the country.

It’s taking bigger cities longer because the population is more dense. The less you can social distance, the more you need to mask.

A denser echo chamber, that’s for sure.

It WAS simply a cold 2 years ago to millions of people. Everyone reacted differently.

Some people had very mild cases before the vaccines were around. Some people tested positive for anti-bodies and never even got symptoms nor knew they were sick.

This virus always impacted mainly the elderly and with preexisting conditions.

Some of us are ok with masking and quarantining for the first few months. But eventually, we have to move on and accept that Covid exists and we have to live with it. Just like the flu and cold.

No, at this point some of us just don’t care if we get it. Don’t need to be “protected”. It’s exhausting spending 2 years trying not to get something and then have it be not a big deal when you do.

This is entirely revisionist and inaccurate.

Even so, it is now. We have vaccines to lessen severity and effective treatment. But STILL people are wanting everyone to cling to the guidelines, quarantines, restrictions, and mitigation efforts of 2020

More than a million of our fellow Americans died of this disease, most of them in the last year. What exactly were you being gaslit about?

We do no that for many that isolation, distancing, mask wearing also comes at a societal cost. Just look at airlines, incidents plummeted once mask mandate lifted. Everyone can get vaccinated and others will always be moresusceptible and vulnerable. What kind of society and life do we want to live? I’m willing to take the risks of long COVID and unknown long term risk to live a normal life and give my kids a normal childhood. I’m sorry for those that are not able to take that risk. I mean that sincerely.

This is all really easy to say when you’ve never dealt with chronic illness or long term disability. Would be interesting to see what you would say if your good health (or your children’s God forbid) was messed up for life. As another poster says this is just dripping with arrogance, privilege and lack of humility.

Please. Immunocompromised persons can wear N95 masks and social distance. It’s not like they didn’t have to do this during flu season every year before covid. Frankly, your post drips of wishing ill health on the PP.

It’s not that simple.

NP
Sure it is. I receive chemo weekly. I am immunocompromised. I will wear my N95 when necessary, and I fully expect non immunocompromised to go about their daily lives. We are waaay past 2020 people.

I don’t believe you. If you were really on chemo, you’d know that your N95 is nowhere near full protection for the newest strains of Omicron. Not even close.

What do you suggest? Skip chemo? You’re an idiot.

Clearly you are not keeping up with current variants.

And you are “keeping up” too much.

I don’t understand what data you are looking at that is telling you the current variants are causing severe disease in people with vaccine or naturally acquired immunity.
