[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe we’re nearly three years into this mess and people like OP still refer to taking precautions as “virtue signaling.”[/quote]

We past virtue signaling more than a year ago. Things like indefinite masking, social isolation, and pulling people out of school or work for mild cold symptoms are just examples of health anxiety.[/quote]

Do you not understand that some of us have long term health issues regardless of covid but getting an illness like covid is a huge issue for us.  It's not health anxiety.  Why on earth would you be ok with getting sick or making someone else sick when some of it is preventable.[/quote]

All prevention measures have costs. You need to decide whether the costs are worth the benefits.  Personally I don’t feel comfortable imposing my cost-benefit analysis in others. YMMV.[/quote]

There are no prevention measures right now.  That is the problem and your choices impact others.  If you go out sick, spread covid, flu, cold, rsv, while it is no big deal to you, it can have serious consequences to others.  Its sad you don't understand that.[/quote]

Were you this enraged about people going out with colds before the pandemic?

There are certainly preventive measures YOU can take if you are high risk and the cost of those measure are worth it to you- you can wear high quality, well-fitted masks everywhere.  You can stay home from all non-essential activities if you don't think that is enough.  The "cost" of my young kids wearing masks all day while healthy, and avoiding all indoor activities such as birthday parties, are not worth whatever theoretical benefits comes from those measures FOR US.  We wear masks when we have colds and stay home for any serious illnesses.
