[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very few people who are vaccinated will die from covid now. The very few who might are medically fragile and the onus is on them to protect themselves rather than the other way around.

I just read a headline today that the suggested requirement to quarantine for five days after a positive test is going to be lifted.

You are a jerk. Thousands of people are still dying and thousands more are having serious long term health problems from Covid. Get your head out of your arse.[/quote]

Hahahahaha!

No, I am not a jerk. I spent the last 8 years working as a hospice caregiver and throughout the pandemic I strictly limited my life and any exposures so I would not be a carrier to my medically fragile patients.

I am currently on the last day of 8 days out of work, 12 days total very sick with an upper respiratory virus which morphed into a bacterial infection- my first time sick with any respiratory illness since early 2018 because I worked in healthcare and was scrupulously limiting my life and exposures to protect my patients. Doubtless my long stretch without illness left me ripe for serious illness when I finally found myself in a different work environment full of snotty nosed kids sent to school despite illness.

The pandemic has morphed and the covid virus is now endemic. Natural immunity is abundant and mild illness is predominant. This is basic virology, poster. Human beings have lived with this cycle for millions of years.

Where was your outrage before covid came along, when tens of thousands of children and elders were dying every year from influenza, and people went to work sick because they had to feed their families and our country STILL, after suffering this pandemic, provides crap sick leave requirements as a matter of law??

We cannot prevent every viral disease from spreading - it is simply IMPOSSIBLE. We did enough damage to the economy and our children taking the measures we did from 2020-2022. People will die of viral infections and bacterial infections just as they have done for millions of years. At least we have vaccines, for those intelligent enough to take them. [/quote]

You are sick because garbage people sent their sick snotty nosed kids to your daycare and you are OK with that?  Think about that.[/quote]

I work with Title I kids whose families are lucky to be housed, they certainly don’t have the resources to take off work for every day their kid is snotty. You are so dripping with privilege it is SICKENING- much more than a viral respiratory infection. Disgusting affluenza, which this board is wallowing in - and your disease is much more lethal than any virus or bacteria. [/quote]

It’s okay for poor people to get others sick but it’s “privilege” if those who are not poor do the responsible thing and stay home when sick. Got it. [/quote]
