You need therapy. My family traveled to four different destinations (FL,NY, CA & Mexico) over the holiday. All of us got COVID. All still dealing with it. [/quote]

Well, we traveled to Italy for 2 weeks. Ate indoors, went to shops, museums, grocery stores, hotels, maskless almost all the time. Vans with small group tours, everyone also without masks. Unmasked on the long flight to/from. Guess what? No one got covid. And this was right before testing to return was required, so we know we were negative. [/quote]

NP. Did you already have covid prior to the trip?

Everyone I know who never had covid and did indoor things unmasked came home with covid. One friend tested negative and was able to fly home, but felt ill the next day and then tested positive.[/quote]

Nope! One person had it over a year ago. I myself have never had it, neither did the others in our travel group. Have been living normally, unmasked, for over a year (since getting vaccinated).

Frankly, people are masking more in the DC area than in Italy - I'm talking about the locals and in small towns. And Italy was clearly hit very hard in the beginning. If the Italians can move on from Covid, then we ought to, too.

You suggesting Covid no longer exists? That people don't die from it? That long Covid is not real? That multiple instances of Covid are linked to higher death rates from things like heart attacks?  Have you always been a magical thinker, who decides that your own experience is the universal one?[/quote]

Yes, I am suggesting that Covid no longer exists, in a serious way. The only people who die from it are those who are already close to death, have many health issues, and are not vaccinated.

Hearts attacks exist in my family, as a genetic link due to my ethnicity. Many have died from it, even if do all the right things. I'd rather live my life, enjoy the quality of it, than subscribe to your magical thinking that risk must be avoided at all cost - rather than something to be rationally weighed against all other qualities and factors of life.

Do what you want and need to do for your own health. But as someone's who's healthy, and happy, I'm enjoying my life. It's not yours to live -- it's mine. The same is true vice versa.
