[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very few people who are vaccinated will die from covid now. The very few who might are medically fragile and the onus is on them to protect themselves rather than the other way around.

I just read a headline today that the suggested requirement to quarantine for five days after a positive test is going to be lifted.

But they might die from or be incapacitated by long covid from multiple infections.  We cannot keep getting covid 2-3 times per year and expect to not have detrimental effects.  
Why do you think "everyone is sick with something respiratory" currently?  Mainly because people's immune systems are shot.  This was not normal pre-covid.

I'm 7 times vaxed (2 boosters last fall).  Just got covid for the first time.  Started paxlovid 24 hours after first symptom.  Let me tell you that what I just had with covid was still way worse 
than "a cold".  It ranked up there with the last time I got the actual Flu 7 years ago (had tamiflu with that as well).  This was worse than my flu and my flu, even with tamiflu, knocked me out for a week and another 2-3 weeks before I was anywhere close to a "return to normal".  So if I can be that sick after being vaxed/boosted and Paxlovid I really don't want to see how it would be without any of those precautions/aides.

Now note: the last real illness I had was the flu 7 years ago.  Nothing else since then except a few very minor colds.  So even for the first 3 years where nobody masked (pre covid), I was not continuously sick.  
Yet now everyone (who isn't masking when out in public) is routinely sick, almost constantly.  What has changed?  They've all had covid 2, 3, 4+ times. [/quote]

I’ve had covid twice and it was worse than a cold but much less worse than the bad flus I’ve had. I’d also choose covid over food poisoning or norovirus. Yeah it sucks to have a new seasonal illness, but sane people adjust. And no, covid does not weaken your immune system. [/quote]

You're an idiot. Covid can not only weaken your immune system, it can weaken your heart, your organs. Just because you lucked out with a mild case doesn't mean everyone does. People lose their lives and their health long term.

Only someone who is mentally ill or completely evil would infect other people with their deadly sickness.[/quote]

Many folks with covid have no symptoms, so they don't even have a reason to test. Many tests are not effective - there is another thread on that as we rage on this one.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO DO? SHALL WE ALL JUST STAY HOME ALL WINTER LONG FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES?????[/quote]

If you have symptoms of Covid, test. If it's positive, wear a mask and stay home until your symptoms clear. When you test negative, wear a mask for 5 days around people.
This is not complicated.[/quote]

No. 
If you are concerned about getting germs from other people then wear a mask. Or stay away from people. 
That’s life in the real world. 
Protect yourself if you are worried. [/quote]
