[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My children are so excited to go to school without masks and experience a step closer to a “normal” day for the first time in almost 2 years!

Smiling faces all around tonight at the news that they can stop wearing masks all day every day. [/quote]

How very loving of you to be thinking of just yourselves! We’ll done, Catholic family!![/quote]

Symptoms and mortality are now on par with the flu.

"Mask-up" tyrants getting flustered they're losing control.[/quote]

Please do some reading on the long term health effects of previous flu pandemics..  Just one example, Parkinson’s rates skyrocketed within a few decades  in those who had been infected but survived.  Comparing infection to a one week flu is an inaccurate exchange because you are ignoring long term public health effects of a mass viral illness. . In addition to not wanting my family to suffer that way, I don’t want our already broken healthcare system trying to handle it. [/quote]

There are lots of pathogens suspected of activating auto-immune or chronic conditions. Epstein-Barr for MS, strep for heart problems, and unknown diseases are suspected to be related to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or even Alzheimers. Even if COVID did have this effect on small numbers of people (you have no evidence for this, and I can't help but notice none of the other 4 common-cold coronaviruses are on this list, but for purposes of argument let's accept the possibility) it wouldn't matter, because no one seriously thinks that COVID is going to go away. Which means that sooner or later everyone is getting exposed and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

Omicron is nearly as infectious as measles. It has animal reservoirs everywhere now (minks, hamsters, cats, deer, you name it). The vaccines reduce but don't eliminate transmission. Short of living your life with an N95 respirator on, there's nothing you can do to prevent yourself from being exposed at some point. If you think anything we're doing right now is leading to COVID just going away, I have bad news for you. [/quote]
