What are you rambling about?  The pandemic hasn't been hard.  Its been no big deal. What is hard is people behaving is a selfish manner where they only care about themselves and therefore we cannot go out because we don't want covid.  Vaccines help, but they are not 100% and many people are getting covid vaccinated. So, exclusively relying on vaccines is for stupid people.  Simple precautions like masking have proven to help.  But, hey, the good thing is if you get really sick or die, you cannot complain here to us as you'll be dead.[/quote]

No, you're using the wrong denominator. In highly vaccinated areas, many of the people who are getting covid are vaccinated - but that's just because there aren't many unvaccinated people. We know that unvaccinated people are far more likely to become infected and far more likely, if infected, to get seriously ill or die from covid.

Also, get out of here with the "the pandemic hasn't been hard" nonsense. [/quote]

The pandemic hasn't been hard on us at all.  Its been one of the easier things we've gone through.  We've had real hardships prior to covid, devastating things happen.  No one died, not one got sick in our family, we still have our income, working from home, children in virtual school and the bonus is more quality time together as we cut back on activities and other things.  Its how you look at it.  You view it as a tragic thing as you cannot handle being at home.  We view the extra time we gained as a family as a good thing.  [/quote]

Good for you that it hasn’t been hard. But some of us have had kids too young to effectively engage in virtual school. Jobs that kept up normal demands even while schools were closed. Children with special needs who weren’t able to get needed services. Homes too small to comfortably accommodate everyone working/schooling from home. You’re completely tone deaf right now. And it’s not selfish that people are ready to resume some level of normal now that we have readily available vaccines for most of the public 5+. Many of us have come to grip with the reality we’re going to catch this virus at some point (which is what many health experts predicted early on). We take all sorts of risks to our health every day in life, but for some reason some people have made freaking out over COVID their main priority. [/quote]
