[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was hoping for a longer break. :roll: 
Oh well. We'll go back to masking in public if we feel the need for our family. I know we'll get it eventually. Definitely buying a few extra tests this week. Trying to find them in December and failing was a nightmare.

I've been following this FB page for about a year or so. Pretty good info in general but I do have to admit, some of these people are so Covid cautious, I feel bad for their families.

Frankly I think the "your local epidemiologist" has been really enjoying her celebrity status during Covid and is really trying to ride that train forever. She is another one who seems to want this to last forever. She's a person just like the rest of us and has no idea what will happen just like the rest of us. Her whole "the virus will keep mutating" comment is clearly meant to scare people. And thats exactly what she is hoping for so you keep giving her the those clicks and she can keep having that clout.

DP.  I've found her very very helpful, and mostly level headed about covid caution (though she's def. on the COVID conservative side, as one probably would expect an epidemiologist to be).

She did a reader survey a while back (maybe shortly post vaccine roll out when we all were thinking this whole pandemic thing was wrapping up), and one of the questions was what kind of content we would be interested in in the future when COVID wasn't a concern.  One of the answers was "I hope to never hear from an epidemiologist again".  I selected that one.  :)  It is her 15 minutes of fame, but surely she has other professional goals.

It will keep mutating, not sure why this is scary, it is a fact.  So will our immune systems, our responses, etc.  No one knows what is next, but I don't know anyone who would say "yep, COVID is done mutating now!"  [/quote]
