I do not believe you for 2 seconds. This has been a common platitude from the far right 20 somethings who have no risk.

Believe whatever you want. The majority of people have accepting they may get Covid and have accepted the small risk of complications that comes with it. Do you never go anywhere? Most people aren’t masking, aren’t testing and have moved on and accepted covid

And, crummy people like you end up giving it to people like me. Thanks.

Wouldn’t have happened if you had stayed home and masked harder. You do have some agency in this.

I have not left my house in several weeks. The rare occasion I go out, like for groceries I always mask. Spouse and kids don’t go anywhere indoors so they had to have gotten it outdoors at an activity. Good try. If it happens to me, it will to you too.

Kind of sounds like your masks didn't work.

Also, come ON, you are blaming other people for getting covid when you are doing a ton of things that expose you to covid? Please.

Except we aren’t doing a ton of things. No travel, no camps except virtual, no friends or family, no indoor anything. It was from one outdoor activity and I haven’t been all year. I have not left my house in weeks.

Well glad all that deprivation paid off…oh wait…

I don’t understand this at all. How is that sustainable? It’s not like covid is going to get much better.

It’s not. But it’s become such a part of their identity they can’t stop. They’re Covid martyrs

DP. So you think that all good, non-crummy people should be masking *outdoors* as well, so as to avoid giving it to you?

If you engage in behavior that puts others at risk, yes.

You mean such as getting near other people outdoors? Do your spouse and kids mask outdoors as well? And you think they still caught Covid from some unmasked person? That tells me their masks weren't well-fitting enough.

As your example shows, anybody can and will get Covid, unless you entirely stop interacting with others. The people your family caught it from may not be any less cautious than you are. And if they were, your family wasn't protecting themselves well enough, if your goal really is not to catch it. You cannot expect society to abide by your level of caution in perpetuity, because this virus is here to stay forever.

They only masked indoors and probably got to close outdoors but everyone says you cannot get it outdoors which clearly is not true. It’s running through the activity per emails and posts. It’s clear where they got it. I have not been to the activity and avoid people as I knew I’d catch it if anyone got to close. It’s not unreasonable for people to mask indoors especially in places like schools.

So you think they caught it outdoors, while being unmasked themselves, but you still think that masking indoors would have prevented this from happening? You are still blaming others? You think there would have been no chance of anyone spreading Covid at your kids' outdoor activity if everyone just always masked indoors? Have you ever looked at the data out of countries that actually had N95 mandates, and how their surges compare to ours?

Covid cannot be stopped, even if everyone dons a quality mask in public indoor places. It can't be stopped now and it couldn't have been stopped early on if people had just "behaved better" in this country, because by *January 2020* it had already spread to 18 countries, and was in animal reservoirs. There was never any hope to stop it from infecting nearly every person on the planet, an outcome we are approaching now.

It can get under control but people need to make an effort and when you are not willing, sadly people like me suffer.

That’s a choice you made. And the cause is your inability to understand where we’re at with covid, not the choices of anyone else.

No, it can not get under control. Not even China is going to succeed with their extreme lockdowns. That is what you need to grasp one day, and then maybe you feel less resentful towards your fellow human beings, who are just being human.

Getting covid = not being cautious enough yourself about covid.

I have not been out of the house in several weeks. Cannot get more cautious than that.

Could’ve skipped the activity, so you definitely can get more cautious.

Truly, I hope after you recover you let go of some of this anxiety and let your kids live a little.

After this, we will keep up the precautions. It’s not anxiety. Covid is real and miserable. You may enjoy being sick but I don’t. I am missing an appointment that took months to get and now have to wait months again…

You should learn some empathy from my kids. It might do you a lot of good.

Your position is so nonsensical I’m wondering if you are just trolling. Allegedly you haven’t seen any friends or family in 2.5 years and haven’t let your children do anything except this one doomed outdoor activity and for what? You got it anyway! Why continue to deprive yourselves of human contact until the next time you inevitably catch Covid?

This is so well written. Thank you, pp, for articulating my thoughts in a way I haven’t been able to.

I’m curious. What do you think the next 50 or so years look like? Silly to ask “how this ends” because its doesn’t - until it does. How do you see the next few decades shaking out?

And before anybody jumps on me for being 6 levels beyond DCUM level baseline alarmist, I assure you I’m the opposite. This is just science and common sense.

Anonymous wrote:I just flew. No one had a mask including flight attendants. No one is going back to masks either. Enough is enough. I used to wear a mask and shield but I got vaccinated and still got Covid and finally decided that I would keep getting vaccinated as suggested and live life. I assume I will get it again but hook with vaccines will get another Covid case. Wearing a mask is not living life.

LOL, ok snowflake.

NP, I don't "fear" getting COVID, but would prefer to avoid it if I can, or at least minimize the number of times that I do in my lifetime. Latest variants are reinfecting a lot of folks, and evidence is that multiple infections increases your odds of experiencing long COVID. No thanks.

My strategy hasn't changed much in the past year... well-fitting N95 mask, outdoors/well-ventilated space, and social distancing... pick 2 out of 3 in most cases. My office is very sparsely occupied, well-ventilated, and I'm generally 3-6' away from someone at all times (often more) so I typically go maskless there (which is 2 days/week). If I'm popping into a store, IME folks don't reliably distance themselves, and I'm less confident about ventilation, so I throw my mask on until I'm done shopping. It's trivial effort for that protection. I generally avoid a crowded indoor restaurant because there's basically no way to maintain a reasonable degree of protection in that environment, but for a special occasion I'll make the exception. Again, the goal here isn't 100% avoidance, but just to doing the simple things that help reduce risks while still living something pretty close to a pre-pandemic life. Wearing a proper mask on occasion is part of that, at NBD.

I've taken 4 very full flights in the past month and everyone was fully masked except while eating/drinking. It also helps that aircraft are one of the best ventilated environments you can find yourself in anyway, I have greater concern about the terminal and rideshare/taxi than while seated on the plane.

Obviously! Because her spouse is definitely following all of her rules when she’s not there and would never do something like go in a friends house or take a child to the bathroom at the park.

My kids are too old for playgrounds and I have not been in anyones house, including family since Covid started. I don’t see my family as they make different choices than we do that put us at risk. Where do you think my spouse goes that is a secret from me?

You mean such as getting near other people outdoors? Do your spouse and kids mask outdoors as well? And you think they still caught Covid from some unmasked person? That tells me their masks weren't well-fitting enough.

As your example shows, anybody can and will get Covid, unless you entirely stop interacting with others. The people your family caught it from may not be any less cautious than you are. And if they were, your family wasn't protecting themselves well enough, if your goal really is not to catch it. You cannot expect society to abide by your level of caution in perpetuity, because this virus is here to stay forever.

They only masked indoors and probably got to close outdoors but everyone says you cannot get it outdoors which clearly is not true. It’s running through the activity per emails and posts. It’s clear where they got it. I have not been to the activity and avoid people as I knew I’d catch it if anyone got to close. It’s not unreasonable for people to mask indoors especially in places like schools.
