[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because of COVID you mean?  Yes, you're the only one still doing this.  COVID is like the flu.  Get vaxxed, you're still going to get it occasionally.  It's here to stay.  Live your life.  The end.[/quote]

This, I truly don't understand why people are still "afraid" of Covid? You're going to get it. And you're very likely going to be fine. [/quote]

Not sure why this is a debate in the Food forum but I wish ppl would stop diminishing Covid. You can live your life how you want - your life your rules. But to say you're going to be fine if you get it or it's like the flu is really laughable because there is so much data now that you're just being obtuse to raise whatever point that is not clear.

Let's be clear - Covid has killed more than 1million people in the US alone. For example, in 2021 the Flu killed about 25K while covid took almost 400K lives. Not to mention that it does cause unique complications, such as blood clots, multisystem inflammatory syndrome, and long-term symptoms that persist well beyond the actual infection.

So again - live your life as you see fit but you can't change facts and make the narrative that people shouldn't be concerned more than they are about other cold or flu viruses.[/quote]

Correction for accuracy - the figures are for 2020. For 2021, Covid killed 485K ppl - the flu stats haven't been updated but they average 25k-30k annually.[/quote]
