[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't know people were still testing for this anymore. It's 2024, not 2021. It's endemic. We don't isolate anymore and nobody masks. There's no point.[/quote]

Only jerks don't try to isolate when they have COVID.

I work with elderly people.  I'm testing so I don't kill anyone. [/quote]

The majority of us DON’T work with elderly people.  We’re not going to kill anyone anymore than if we don’t isolate with the common cold.  Stay in your lane.[/quote]

You need to stay in your lane.  If you don't work with elderly people or have a loved one who is immuno-compromised, etc., then WHY are you even on this thread commenting.  NO one on this thread has said anything about everyone testing.  But some of us do, because we are protecting people we care about.  And the truth is, you should isolate for a short period of time when you are symptomatic at the start of any virus.  ANY virus.  People who go around when they are actively sick are, in fact, jerks.  ALWAYS have been, long before covid.

The people who continue to come on Covid-related threads to say "who cares" or "stay in your lane" need therapy.  Or some compassion.  or maybe just to STFU.[/quote]

Sorry, you didn’t say this?

“Only jerks don't try to isolate when they have COVID.”

You sound completely unhinged.

I did not say that.  That was a different PP. People with *any* illness should stay home when they are actively sick to minimize spread of infection.  That's basic.  That is what I meant by "isolate for a short period".

I think whether or not the person who did say that is over stepping depends on what they mean by isolate.  Does that really mean stay home when you are first sick or stay home for 10 days.  The former is common sense and common courtesy.  The latter is no longer necessary.

Either way, the only people who sound unhinged are people like you and other PPs who come on threads like this and stir up trouble because you were so traumatized by Covid, you can't remain civil when the word is mentioned.

The OP said nothing about everyone testing and nothing about everyone isolating.  There is a subset of people who still, quite legitimately, pay attention to covid.  If you have no reason to do so, count your blessings and leave those of us that do alone.  Seriously, go away to other threads where you might possibly have a relevant comment.[/quote]
