[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just really don’t want covid in any way shape or form and if I can do a very small, not very bothersome or invasive thing to help make sure that doesn’t happen then I’m happy to do it. I don’t wear them outdoors but I do not go inside of restaurants to eat. [/quote] This is something people need to wrap their minds around: Covid is not going away. We are all going to get it in our lifetimes, probably multiple times. If you're vaccinated and don't otherwise have serious health issues, you are incredibly likely to have a mild case when you do get it. Even fanatical places like Australia have accepted that trying to stamp out covid completely is not going to happen. Take your time, if you need to, but you're eventually going to have to accept reality.[/quote] I am one of the PPs upthread who said that I never wore masks outdoors but am otherwise quite cautious in that I don’t travel (not quite true, we’ve made a few short trips in our own car) and don’t eat inside restaurants. The ONLY reason I am taking these precautions are my unvaccinated kids, and the reason I *really* don’t want them to catch Covid is because of the consequences imposed by society - lengthy isolation, and even longer quarantine for the sibling, as well as quarantines for other kids if they expose anyone at school. Once we as a society take a more relaxed approach to Covid infections, I won’t worry anymore. I completely agree that it is not going away, and I hope we come to terms with that sooner rather than later.[/quote]
