I wear a mask, I am vaccinated. That is all I can do. I try not to think about it anymore on a day to day basis. - Qale Dec 15, 18:52
1 in 100 people over the age of 65 in the US have died from covid. Everyone should be wearing masks. What's the big deal? -- nm - jnine Dec 15, 18:37
There are still 1000 people dying a day, and probably over a million dead in the US. “We should get back to normal,” still feels awfully cavalier. - mafic Dec 15, 17:31 1
- This. -- nm - Marlowe Dec 15, 17:43
I get it. The trouble is unless you really make it painful for the unvaxxed they will overload our hospitals -- nm - Beaker Dec 15, 17:23
I’m bailing out of this convo. I realize there is a small % of people who will never go back to a semi normal. You do you. -- nm - MDH Dec 15, 16:41 3
- I feel like we're having a civil discussion, but you also do you. -- nm - Reagen Dec 15, 16:41 2
  - It may be civil, but I concur with MDH that it's clearly an "agree to disagree" discussion. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 16:42 1
    - Yep agree 100%. :-) very civil, we just aren’t going to end anywhere different. So I’d rather stop and just be friendlier. - MDH Dec 15, 16:43
It depends. I’m getting tested because my dad is immuno-supppressed and I was exposed yesterday. - spamlet Dec 15, 16:21 1
- Oh I 100% support voluntary testing. I have family members in similar positions and will do as such. Agree with the IM -- nm - MDH Dec 15, 16:23
Why? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 16:15 16
- COVID is never going away. Everyone is going to get it. You are either vaccinated or not. Move on. -- nm - MDH Dec 15, 16:17 15
  - It can re-re-re-infect, so if it doesn't kill you or permanently disable you the first time, you've got plenty more chances. - Beryllium Dec 15, 16:31 14
    - Also this is factually incorrect. Look at hospitalizations and deaths. -- nm - MDH Dec 15, 16:37 3
      - Hospitalizations... - Marlowe Dec 15, 16:41 1
        
        And deaths... - Marlowe Dec 15, 16:42
      - you guys are at like 1200 deaths a day right now. -- nm - Reagen Dec 15, 16:39
    - Yes. And it’s going to be here forever. So honest question, do we just stop everything, forever? -- nm - MDH Dec 15, 16:34 9
      - *honk honk* -- nm - Excluded Middle You Can Drive A Truck Through Dec 15, 16:36 5
        
        Mine is the middle. Test unvaccinated, don’t test vaccinated. -- nm - MDH Dec 15, 16:37 4
        
        Vaccinated can transmit omicron. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 16:38 3
        
        And my point is “so what?” Everyone is going to get it. It’s going to continue to mutate. -- nm - MDH Dec 15, 16:39 2
        
        I'd rather not spread it to anyone, if I were to get it. I can't know if I will if I don't get tested. -- nm - Reagen Dec 15, 16:41
        
        Slow the spread of the mutations, to combat future mutations. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 16:40
      - Everything has to change, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 16:36 2
        
        It did. We got a vaccine. We changed everything. Now we are done. -- nm - MDH Dec 15, 16:38 1
        
        The vaccine is an important tool for stopping people from dying or developing permanent disabilities. It is NOT a be-all, end-all. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 15, 16:39
Ugh sorry for the awful first. -- nm - MDH Dec 15, 16:11
