[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s just testing from travel. Same thing will happen after Christmas.  [b]Frankly, I’m surprised it’s not more.[/b] [/quote]

I anticipate numbers rising.  Those exposed on Thanksgiving or over the weekend are still in the window to not have developed symptoms.  By Friday we may see a noticeable bump.  Hopefully not, but potentially.

To PP, if you are traveling and going to be spending the holidays unmasked with others, you are contributing to a heightened risk.  That's fine, we know Covid isn't going away and eventually most of us will assume that risk, but recognize that's how it spreads so please don't blame others if you're going to engage in the same activity.  The bump during the holidays is because of gatherings of family and friends when households come together.[/quote]

My family and I have been living like the majority of Americans for 6+ months, maskless and completely back to normal. There's tons of others in Northern Virginia doing so too.  COVID is never going away so you're just wasting your time, hoping for it to go away like the flu (oh yeah, which doesn't go away either).

This morality play nonsense of "you're a bad person for living your life" has got to stop. Did you blame gay people for spreading AIDS too?  It's the same type of bigotry with both.[/quote]m
The two are not even remotely similar. Thanks [/quote]

The people yelling "stay home" today and saying you're a bad person for not sacrificing your mental health are reminiscent of Jesse Helms in the 1980s with gay people and AIDS (except AIDS was way, way deadlier than COVID pre-vaccine, and now COVID has vaccines available).  Branch COVIDians: normal human behavior = bad morals.  Jesse Helms: gay sexual activity = bad morals.

Same type of fanatics, different sides of political spectrum.[/quote]

If you mental health is that fragile that you cannot curb your behavior for a time so we can get through covid, maybe your next "vacation" should be to a mental hospital.   [/quote]

We've been doing this for 2 years.  COVID is not going anywhere and will be here in 50 years.

Doing this any longer is a complete waste of time unless you plan on doing it for the rest of your life (and you're free to do so on your own).[/quote]
