In California and Colorado anyone (18+) can get a booster after 6 months, but not in MD yet.

You go first.

I do y u detest and how are the not declining? Over 3k cases in September, over 2k in October, and only 612 in the first half of November. Am I the only one who sees a decline? Can someone explain to me why others are seeing an increase?

Yes, you can, you just lie. Everyone is doing it.

I jumped in on page 40 of this thread, so apologies if it's already been said. But you need to read between the lines here. They left the door wide open for covid boosters but stopped short of recommending it for everyone, and this was likely done for very political reasons. It's the difference between public health and personal health. The public health officials are monitoring the virus in terms of serious hospitalizations and death. And the 2-shot vaccine is still effective against that. But someone's personal health decision may be to aim for no covid rather than just no hospitalization. That person would want a booster.

The questions to get a booster ask if you are at higher risk due to your job, and I've seen it also stated that a higher risk home life is also applicable. So for me, I would like to visit with my high risk parents, so I got a booster. Because right now, I want to aim for no covid and not just no hospitalization. I don't see this as a lie. I see this as a nod to the wide open door that lets us determine our own levels of risk.

I got a booster from the county, and they didn't ask how I was eligible.

The issue is many people around the world haven't had one shot and people in the US are getting 3-4 shots. The WHO and other groups who are advocating are concerned part of the spread is not everyone having access to even one shot, which is a reasonable concern.

If you want to aim for no covid, behavior also plays a big factor in it.

Aiming for no COVID is a fool’s errand. Do you still not understand that?

Do you not understand, behavior plays a huge factor on if you will get covid, even vaccinated AND simple things like distancing, masking and no indoor gatherings go a long way.

Yes, we are aiming for no covid. I hope everyone like you gets it, so you have immunity and it makes it safer for the rest of us.

Immunity from infection probably doesn't last much longer than immunity through vaccination. Nor do either perfectly prevent infection. And that's why COVID isn't going away. I don't think there's any scientific disagreement on that. Talk to your therapist about it so you can work on acceptance.

Its not going away as we need a combination of behavior and vaccines to get rid of it. You should talk to your therapist about being a bully and needing everyone to agree with you when you aren't willing to be part of the solution, only the problem. Its great you can rationalize covid away. I'm sure your therapist can help you with that but you don't get to decide what others consider safe for their families.

Even if it were *possible* to erradicate COVID with behavior and vaccination, we all know it's not going to happen. Any single jurisdiction of moderate size could continue to sustain the virus, which would in turn spread everywhere else unless harsh lockdown measures remained in place forever. Obviously that's not going to happen, which is why the experts overwhelmingly agree we're going to need to live with COVID. If you want to contribute to a solution, you first need to accept reality. While you might feel a personal sense of righteousness when you say we need to work together to erradicate COVID, I suspect even you know that is not practical. So regardless of what you may think of me and my positions on COVID, at least I have a coherent plan/proposal. You just have a wish that has no hope of coming true. There's not much of a "solution" there.

PP, you have zero plan/proposal. You say to live with it like it doesn't exist. That is not a plan.
