That’s their choice, and risk. The rest of us have to get on with our lives. If you’re still terrified and vaccinated, well stay home and don’t bother the rest of us.
Hey, patrick murphy, loony squiggles, montana bill, rikitikiDA, klemubermoron, ammosexuallydysfunctional, opspecial ed, JAwholikebluegrass, which one of you is this?:
Many of the “unvaxxed” has already been “vaxxed” by the virus itself. Like me. I’m not “vaxxed” and I’ve already had the virus. This isn’t a true vaccine.
We remain one recombination or nasty mutation away from a very different scenario. Remember that being endemic for a species does not mean not being periodically epidemic, especially regionally, as with influenzas. Expect times of epidemic illness from this. The most important thing is to NOT go back to bad habits, keep innovative approaches that worked both for daily life and for businesses, and be ready to turn on a dime to use more precautions when things change again, as they will. Living with an epidemic is like being a tree in a heavy wind. The branches which do not break are the ones which can bend. Historically, populations tend to tire of precautions, usually before a disease is safe enough to do so, and many politicians follow. With the 1918 – 1921 influenza that meant that most gave up precautions but then it had its worst siege, killing an enormous number of young people. That is not an unusual pattern with epidemics. Sorry, but that is just reality. So, do vaccinate, use masks indoors and in crowds, use good masks like N95s (which you can rotate more than a few times after a week or so if the exposure was not huge, and if they did not get dirty or wet), encourage funding for more research into pansarbecovirus and pan coronavirus vaccines, and just basically don’t act like a teenager playing chicken with a train at a crossroad. If you are planning a vacation look at types where you will not be stuck in poorly ventilated areas with a bunch of people whose health status is unknown. There are a number of options to those.
Out yesterday for local St. Paddy’s parade. One of the few with a mask. Did find a nice viewpoint upwind of everyone and able to distance myself. Guy walked by with “MANDATE FREEDOM” t-shirt. I gave him a thumbs-up and told him I agreed, “It’s nobody’s business who you date.” He stalked off.

Prior infection doesn’t seem to protect very well against omicron.
