[quote=Anonymous]My husband got COVID at work as a health care provider in June 2022. He had no significant health conditions, had been fully vaccinated, and took Paxlovid. He has been disabled since. He just won a worker’s comp case at trial, in fact—that is how disabled he is.

For the mental health of our household we cannot join in the transition to behaving as though COVID was nothing and the mask mandates and school closures were the problem.

Those measures protected my child’s remaining healthy parent (I am the one we thought was “high risk”) and the opportunity for our kid to grow up with one healthy parent.

If you have not experienced this kind of disability in your family because of COVID, I am glad for you, but uninterested in your views on whether I or anyone else am too anxious, too in the basement, whatever nonsense is going on here now. I wish you had more regard for the fact that there are people in your community whose experience was not as rosy as yours, and that you could put aside your propensity to judge to be human about it. We are moving on without you either way.

My kid has one healthy parent. I am that person and I do everything I can to avoid COVID. Changed jobs to stay remote, N95 in all indoor spaces. No restaurants, no air travel.

Does it suck? Yes. There is every reason to believe that my husband getting COVID again would suck even more.[/quote]
