[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because of COVID you mean?  Yes, you're the only one still doing this.  COVID is like the flu.  Get vaxxed, you're still going to get it occasionally.  It's here to stay.  Live your life.  The end.[/quote]

This, I truly don't understand why people are still "afraid" of Covid? You're going to get it. And you're very likely going to be fine. [/quote]

Not sure why this is a debate in the Food forum but I wish ppl would stop diminishing Covid. You can live your life how you want - your life your rules. But to say you're going to be fine if you get it or it's like the flu is really laughable because there is so much data now that you're just being obtuse to raise whatever point that is not clear.

Let's be clear - Covid has killed more than 1million people in the US alone. For example, in 2021 the Flu killed about 25K while covid took almost 400K lives. Not to mention that it does cause unique complications, such as blood clots, multisystem inflammatory syndrome, and long-term symptoms that persist well beyond the actual infection.

So again - live your life as you see fit but you can't change facts and make the narrative that people shouldn't be concerned more than they are about other cold or flu viruses.[/quote]

My vaxed and boosted 80 yo FIL had a cold two weeks ago. We convinced him to test and it was positive. We are back to hanging out with him and just ate together indoors tonight. People are nuts to avoid regular life. [/quote]

My vaxxed and boosted relative is 73 and healthy (other than being 73) and has been hit hard enough with COVID that he’s fighting not to end up in the hospital after five days of feeling awful in bed. Anecdotes are not data.[/quote]
