How do you feel about attending indoor parties?

Playing cards right is hopefully getting this variant and reaching herd immunity with this milder variant. It’s no biggie and we’ll be better off to just get it and move on.

We can the indoor stuff whenever there’s a big spike. Resume when cases drop.

Except this isn’t really true. Treatment isn’t widely available. The monoclonal antibody treatment is scarce or totally out in many facilities at the moment. The pills was only just approved and only for those meeting specific criteria. It isn’t in available circulation yet. Yes we all will probably get Covid, but we don’t all need to get it at the same time. The more time that passes, the better and more accessible treatments will be, should you get a severe case.

Good. It means he’s more protected now. You got it over with. Congrats.

Except I’m in a house with three others, we all have covid, yet I’m the joy one getting it for the first time. Both adults are on their second time, child is on their third. This is not one and done.

Who would show up are the morons, the irresponsible people who whine about weeee just neeed to liiiive ooour liiiiives, the ones traveling, eating indoors, sitting in crammed movie theaters eating popcorn, who are far more likely to have COVID due to their stupid choices, and then brung it with them to the party.

Cancel, OP. Go skiing if you can do it without being crammed in a small ski lodge with a bunch of mixed households.

Exactly. If we get it now, it’s so mild and we might as well get it now and get it over with since we will all get it eventually.

This isn't the chicken pox. It not a one and done thing. Very uneducated and frankly silly to keep preaching the "we're all going to get it, let's get it over with" line.

THIS.

Well the medical professionals say vaccinated people with no high risk conditions can decide that their risk of serious illness is low and if they feel comfortable- they can do what they want. You’re uneducated if you aren’t aware of that.

Exactly

OK, but you ignored the point. The “we’re all going to get it” is a lie and as you can get COVID multiple times and there are multiple strains, “we just want to get it and get it over with” is also a lie.

I would be ok with a gathering of one or two other families we knew well where all were vaccinated, but any larger than that or mix of unknown people and vaccination status, no I wouldn’t go. School starts in less a week. If you get exposed this NYE, you will start showing symptoms just as school is back. I don’t want my children to miss the first week back to school.

I told DH I think we should skip the new year parties. These will be 100% unmasked. I was looking forward to socializing but it just seems like a bad idea.

I also just reserved an indoor party space for my unvaccinated preschooler’s birthday. Not sure if we should go ahead or cancel.

Congrats for spreading anti-vaxxer talking points, OP!

Op here. I am not an anti vaxxer. DH and I both have gotten boosters and 2 of my 3 children are fully vaccinated. My youngest is 4 and too young to be vaccinated. We are good maskers.

All these places with 80% vaccination rates are still surging with covid cases.

I’m the one who wants to go to parties and throw parties. I’m not spreading any misinformation.

I’m wondering if other people are just saying f it and going on with life.

I was looking forward to life back to normal. For a few months, it felt normal. Now cases are higher than ever.

People are saying f it and going ok with life. They are also getting covid. From the people
I know who currently have it, which is a lot, some say it’s nothing and some are pretty sick. If you are ok with being one of the pretty sick ones them by all
Means mingle indoors with like minded people.

Not buying it. I know a bunch with breakthroughs and it supports exactly what scientists are telling us. It’s mild, when vaccinated.

I know multiple households with breakthrough cases. Many are mild. Some have significant symptoms. One is a triple Pfizer vaxxed, healthy, thin man (a professional dancer) in his 30s who says he’s so grateful to be vaccinated, because “I can’t imagine feeling worse than this.”

I know it’s super convenient for you to be a denialist, but I frankly don’t give a rat’s behind whether you’re “buying it” or not.

The treatment is the vaccine. Get vaccinated and we are fine.

You don’t give a ‘rat’s behind, but you responded’. I don’t know one person that’s gotten Covid more than once in 2 years, so if that happens, it’s extremely rare and it’s misleading for you to act like it’s a common thing. You’re keeping the fear going and I’ve been a rule follower the whole time.

Your friend that says it’s rough, btw is more the exception than the rule. This is you promoting fear over facts. We have exceptions to everything in life, but most of these cases are mild so assessing the risk factor, I’m not buying that we have to act like it’s 2020 with this variant.

It's not rare. Most people I know who've gotten it once have gotten it twice. At least. There are common patterns. They are the people who can't work from home. Whose kids are in daycare. We are exposing vast chunks of our population to a virus with unknown effects. When I look at countries who truly have a zero tolerance approach to anyone getting infected... My mind boggles. What do they know that we won't admit?

Gets it again? Do you watch the news or read the paper? Most never get it more than once.
