[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I know you're telling the truth. I'm sorry you're sick and hope you feel better quickly.

The rest you I assume are absolute gems the rest of the time. Perhaps the prolonged stress of COVID is wearing on you in ways you can't articulate. Whatever. The following three things are true:

1. With this much COVID in the community, there's no way to do the contact tracing that would allow us to know where people are getting it. Locations of transmission have changed before and may change again, so living in such denial that you insist on applying the wisdom of two months ago to the question of where people are getting COVID now--to the point that you are calling a sick person a lying troll--is asinine.

2. There is--as of today's news--a new and more transmissible strain of COVID all over the UK. Even if you don't follow the logic re: how our meager tracing capacities have been swamped by community spread, IDK why you would assume it could not be the same way here.

3. There are a wide range of illnesses in which "mild" disease is defined as organ-sparing. For example, someone with "mild" lupus has lupus that is not imperiling a kidney or other organs frequently attacked by lupus. Patients with "mild" lupus can be disabled by "mild" lupus, to the point of being SSI-eligible. They are quite sick, even if their organs aren't near failure. Same with "mild" COVID. [/quote]

This is true and needs to be repeated.

I think people are responding to the “touched something and touched my eye” assertion. This is just not the primary way people get infected with Covid and if it were there would be an astronomical number of cases. I’ve been grocery shopping in a store throughout the pandemic and my kids are in school in person and no COVID yet. [/quote]

All the people freaking out can take a breath.
