[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was cautious early on during covid for about 2-3 months.  Then it became even more obvious that the risk is mainly to elderly people and those with preexisting conditions.  It was also obvious that covid couldn’t be contained in the long term.  Common sense also tells me that masking does very little considering covid has spread rapidly including in my city where people were regularly masking.

Since summer 2020 I have lived my life to its fullest.  I’ve been on many wonderful vacations, made new friends and had way more fun since I’m no longer tied to being in an office 5 days a week.  My kids have been on multiple beach vacations, attended summer camps and went to Disney right after it reopened.

Guess what?  I’ve had covid 2x.  So have people who only left their homes to go to the grocery store.  Each time I was sick like it was a bad cold and I recovered fine.  Getting sick is normal.  You’ve had coronaviruses before.

One thing to accept is that there will likely never be an effective vaccine.  There has never been a vaccine for colds and for a reason.  Drug companies would be all over it if it were possible.  It was sad that people really thought the covid vaccine would save us and keep us from transmitting covid.  Keep dreaming.  My point is that if you really don’t want to catch COVID then you’ll have to spend the rest of your life like this.  No travel, parties, school for your children etc.  All for an illness that has a very very low death rate for someone your age?  Your children will be unable to support themselves by not being able to attend school or hold a job in person. The effects of poverty on your kids will be worse than covid.  Unless you plan to support your children indefinitely?

I almost hope you’re a troll because unless you’re 85 it’s very strange to be terrified by covid.  [/quote]
