[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Studies show vaccinated people don’t transmit the illness. Getting the vaccine means life returns to normal.[/quote]

Which studies? It hasn't been fully examined at this point. Studies suggest that vaccinated people don't transmit illness. They also suggest that vaccinated people are unlikely to get sick, but there is still a chance. So you should be careful with your parent's health as well. [/quote]

People without symptoms are much less infectious. As studies have shown, asymptomatic transmission is .7% of spread. And if you do spread Covid to your vaccinated parents, you are spreading a cold to them.[/quote]

Citation for this please. As I understood it, most transmission was from asymptotic. Which is why we are in a pandemic because people
Don’t know they are sick and we’re still going put and about without masks. [/quote]

Sure.

I think you misunderstand how Covid 19 spreads. Basically, low wage workers can’t stay home when they are sick because they don’t have leave and they need the money to pay their bills. They go to work with mild symptoms. Low wage workers also live in multi generational households with other high risk people, who are also essential workers. They live in small spaces and can’t isolate when they have symptoms.

Honestly, paid leave for essential workers would have done a lot more to stop transmission than outdoor mask mandates, online instruction, etc.
