[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got COVID two months ago. I got the flu vaccination last week. I'm good.[/quote]
But how do you know which strain you got? You might need the new Covid vaccine for the current strains.[/quote]

do you think we need to be getting vaccinated every 2 months???[/quote]

No, but a yearly shot and actually testing if sick and most importantly, staying home/masking if you are sick.  Basically, giving a shit about others.  Fact is covid is "mild" for some, but for many it is not.  And even for those that it's "mild", they have a 30%+ chance of getting long covid.

I know people who refuse to test.  Because they dont' want to be told "don't go to the office".  THey'd rather just go with a "cold" and infect everyone.  But that is a bit too self centered for me.  If I'm sick, I'm not going to expose everyone else to it.

I don’t test. But, I’m barely going out as I cannot risk getting sick and mask everywhere.   What is the point of testing.  If you have a cold, flu or Covid, anyone decent would stay home.  All are highly contegious.  I don’t see the point in testing except to talk to a doctor.  They will not give me Covid meds based off my medical history so the only reason to test it to try to figure out what is going on.  [/quote]

As long as you "stay home", not testing is acceptable.  However, what I've learned is "not everyone is decent" and stays home.  Many feel everyone is just going to "get covid continuously and we just need to live with it".   I believe that is not my choice to make for anyone else, and stay home if sick, and still mask everywhere when outside (unless dining out---which does happen 2-3 times per month).

We test in our house, because we would treat a cold differently than actual Covid and would want opportunity for anti-virals if it's covid.  But yes, if anyone in the house is "not feeling well", the rest are not going into the office for in person maskless meetings---they zoom into the calls instead, out of respect for every coworker and their families.
