[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Went to Final Four tournament in NOLA. Didn’t wear a mask for five days of drinking on Bourbon Street and was in a stadium with 10,000 of my closest unmasked friends. Did I get COVID? Eh, maybe? Who knows. I’m feeling fine and have no plans to test. Only in DC (and maybe Portland?) are people so uptight about COVID now. [/quote]

I think the people who are most concerned are those of us:

-Caring for an elderly or immunocompromised loved one
-Have an infant or toddler with health issues
-Can’t travel if we test positive
[/quote]

LOL no the most uptight people I know don't fall into those categories at all.  They're way too Covid-cautious to travel![/quote]

Do they have other health conditions? The most COVID cautious people I know (including me) either have themselves or have family members who have medical conditions like POTS, fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos, or Hashimotos, or any medical condition with which they struggled for years without a diagnosis or effective treatment, and who are afraid that contracting COVID could result in piling more debilitating symptoms on top of what they already live with. If that isn't you, you are lucky.[/quote]

I honestly see no correlation between the level of Covid caution and actual health risk in the people I know.  I have multiple family members who have immune conditions, and aside from getting vaxxed and boosted, they are doing everything normally.  Then I've got single friends with no health issues who are wildly anxiety-riddled and don't ever want to leave their apartments.  Then there are the group that shames parents for not wearing masks outdoors at pickup and dropoff, but who go to Disney regularly.  Everyone is just making up their own rules.  I just wish people would recognize that people have different risk tolerances and not constantly covid-shame people.[/quote]

You are the ultimate shamed. [/quote]
