Not nice. I have it on vacation right now and I am sick as a dog.

I run a training class and we had multiple speakers (all of whom are vaccinated due to work requirements) out due to covid. It really put us in a bind! While some people are mocking the situation (“The sky is falling!”), it’s not funny for those of us who have to deal with the consequences.

were they sick?

If they are positive they are sick.

This is all really easy to say when you’ve never dealt with chronic illness or long term disability. Would be interesting to see what you would say if your good health (or your children’s God forbid) was messed up for life. As another poster says this is just dripping with arrogance, privilege and lack of humility.

Please. Immunocompromised persons can wear N95 masks and social distance. It’s not like they didn’t have to do this during flu season every year before covid. Frankly, your post drips of wishing ill health on the PP.

It’s not that simple.

Ok but how much longer would you like those without risks to stay inside, mask and quarantine when the best we can do via vaccines is already here. Another year? Two? Fifteen?

When has a healthy child's debt to others been paid?

How about we all work together given we all live, work and socialize in a highly populated area. What debt have you paid? I got sick a month ago, got better, caught something else and in bed for two weeks now? My kids have been in virtual and outside a few activities we are home and don’t see anyone. We,ve done our part and my kids will continue to pay the price for your unwillingness to take part in basic precautions. It’s not your kids paying the price, it’s mine. Your kids are not paying the price as you don’t care and did not teach them to care about the needs of others. It’s all about you and your wants.

The vaccines were not formulated for the new mutations.

Fools! It’s time to stop testing and treating this variant like it’s the 2020 version. Hint - it’s not …

Yawn

Your absurd level of melodrama is noted, mocked and discarded.

How pompous can you get.

My favorite is that most of the people I know with this selfish, pompous attitude claim to be “Christian.” Yeah, that attitude is deeeeeefinitely what Jesus would do.

Yes, you’re an idiot COVID minimizer with your head stuck in the sand. We get it. No need to advertise.

I am a nurse in contact with sick people all the time. I've had Covid of some variety THREE TIMES in 2022.

Each time was very, very different from the other 2. I currently have what I assume is Ba.5 variant, as do half the people in my office including the doctors. This one is really weird because several of us have a pretty sore throat for weeks (!), on and off.

Candidly, I'm wondering if this latest variant permanently or semi-permanently damages the mucosal lining of the throat. I have a relative who's had a sore throat for a month.

I'll leave y'all with this: a number of people in my medical practice had some type of Covid in mid May and AGAIN have some type of Covid currently. All confirmed by PCR tests at a DC hospital where we're affiliated (so I trust the results).

I picked it up in NYC

If you tested positive, it wasn't the stealth variant.

huh? that’s not true.

I tested positive on a PCR. My symptoms were a head cold, muscle aches, hoarse voice, sore throat and a loss of smell and taste.
