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.

In light of that, I think precautions of all kinds should continue to be taken.

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

  - 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
