[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can’t “live with” a virus that you can be reinfected by within weeks. The long term health costs of this are going to be astronomical. This is a mass disabling event, and doctors and epidemiologists are screaming it. [/quote]

You still have not articulated an alternative [/quote]

Mask indoors when outside your home. Done.
N95 do work.
Home tests do work.

Yes, you can't see each other's smiles, yes indoor dining is out, yes kids should mask in school, yes indoor swimming is out. But then, no mass disabling event, yay.

It isn't that complicated, it isn't that onerous. [/quote]

I really hope you're trolling. Because nearly 2.5 year later, I find it hard to believe that you can't accept everyone has different levels of risk for themselves. Expecting everyone to follow your protocol is totally needless.

Take me, for example. To the best of my knowledge, I have never had covid.  I am vaccinated and had one booster nearly 8 months ago. On any given week, I probably share indoor space with at least a thousand other unmasked people (probably more). That's 1k unmasked people a week, for over a year. That has included: working in public schools, going to the gym, taking classes with 50+ people, going to all kinds of stores, eating in restaurants, traveling internationally, unmasking on trans-atlantic flights, and normal socializing with friends and family.

I am a healthy person with no comorbidities. If I haven't had covid yet, I'll take my chances going forward. I'm done with masking - it serves me no good, as a healthy person.

Do what you want based on your own risk assessment for yourself, however. [/quote]
