[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I now know of five people personally who have had breakthrough COVID, despite being vaxxed.

One of them is a teacher. [/quote]

Were any of the actually sick?[/quote]

DP who also knows multiple people who are breakthrough.  None are sick enough to need a hospital, so the vaccine is working.  Many have what feel like a bad cold, and therefore can transmit the virus.  We're again trying to do both by vaccinated and masking, protect ourselves and reduce transmission.[/quote]

Wow - a cold!  I hope they're alright. #staysafe

With the new mask guidance, I'm not wearing a mask and neither is my child under 12.  It was based on (a) an Indian study rejected for peer review and (b) a study during bear week at Provincetown (if you don't know what a "bear" is, I high suggest you give it a Google).  Vaccines work and my unvaccinated under 12 is at less COVID risk than I am vaccinated.  Riding in a car is more dangerous to me or them.  18 months in, it's time to live life.  Some people, especially in Arlington (like a certain stationery saleswoman), really don't want this to end.

As for testing athletes, what a waste of resources for such a low-odds thing.  Check out VDH data on breakthrough infections and how rare they are.  Of those, I wonder their age and comorbidities.  It'd be great if we had a health agency that provided more transparency on the most relevant factors for COVID.[/quote]

This comment too. The way you passive aggressively try to call out a person who isn't part of the conversation anymore.

Also, I'm pretty certain I know who you are.  :lol:
