Not a good ending to a wonderful holiday.
Hard to know how many people there are that get covid now.
I still wear a mask in places where there are lot of people. Mainly because I have an allergy cough (not contagious) and don't want to scare others.

Covid will never be over, just like colds and the flu. The good news is that more and more people have greatly increased immunity.

By being vaccinated or by relying on other people to do it for them?

Well, I didn't want to make this political. It is herd immunity, which is a good thing. I had the original strain in December of 2020. I have been exposed numerous times since then with no reinfection. I consider that a good thing.

It isn’t political even though some people still try to make it so.
We need to have learnt from the past 3 years. Stay up to date with immunisation, consider wearing a mask in crowded or confined spaces, ventilate schools and office buildings etc, stay home if you get sick, be cautious around people like the elderly or immune-compromised. Stop going down rabbit holes and believing every dumb conspiracy theory that comes along. The government or the UN or aliens are NOT trying to kill us all off.
You know just the simple, sensible stuff

I haven't had it yet. I'm fully vaxed so if it hits me should be mild.

I haven’t had it… unless I had it when it first came out in February 2020. I was really sick for a week, but I thought it was from room mate stress.
I haven’t been sick since that time. I did wear a mask for almost forever until earlier this year.
I am not vaccinated. There. I said it. It is not likely that I will choose to be vaccinated. I am very honest with people I know.

I hope your sister is doing better, Kay. Although things seem better the positive result of COVID-19 will always be frightening.

I'm surprised I haven't had it, having a compromised immune system.
Visiting the hospital 2 x times 6 monthly where all the germs are.
Had all except the last jab.

i have had 3. dawn if we have an outbreak in here i am going to have to put you in isolation Me too, even though I have no doubt that I now have better immunity than any of you that got the shots and didn't get the original strain of covid. These shots are quite simply, a bad joke. Let's review the history of the talking points, shall we? If you get the shots, you won't get Covid, and you won't spread it to others. If you get the shots, you can still get covid, you can spread it to others, but it's not as likely, you won't be as sick, and you certainly won't die. If you get the shots, you can still get very sick, but it's less likely, you can spread it to others, but it's not as likely, and you certainly won't die. If you get the shots. you can still spread it to others, get very sick AND DIE, but it's less likely. Yeah, ok, ENJOY! And since 10s of millions at least, had it, but were asymptomatic, a lot of the herd immunity is natural.

i admit i originally wasn't going to get the shots but i gave in to persuasive arguments from my doctor and the main reason was that the pool would not allow unvaxed people and going swimming is important to me so i did it.
so far i have had no ill effects - i was hoping to transmit 5g though, but alas!

I didn't give in and I'm glad that I didn't. I was proven 100% correct................survived the original strain with a mild case and I didn't feel that I needed a shot.

I just don't like medical procedures being done to me.
I don't “trust science” .
I remember the 1970s- use saccharin - then… don't use it or you will die.
Drink coffee! Don't drink coffee, or you will die!
Nope. I’m all organic these days. Coffee, alcohol, tobacco - good. Vaccinations, sucrose, preservatives - bad.

Moldman, take back your “like” or I will demand that pepe bans you.
I can’t tolerate you liking me, I can’t post under these circumstances!

Yeah all well and good, but the danger is that what started as specifically anti covid vaccination (for whatever reasons) has morphed into a general anti any vaccination in some portions of the population. I’m thinking specifically about things like polio or measles or meningococcal. Vaccinations that we know are safe and extremely effective.
Cases of these horrible yet preventable diseases are increasing because of vague “i don’t trust authority” ideas being passed around, mainly on social media. That worries me.

btw, my sister is doing well. She seems to have had quite mild symptoms. In saying that, she is a generally pretty fit and healthy woman who eats well and exercises regularly, so I’m sure that helps too.

I haven't had covid. I have had all the shots/boosters. Had a daughter staying with us last Xmas period and she caught covid then. Her father (vaccinated) caught it off her but I didn't. I wore my mask at home

Today our eldest son, who we are supposed to be visiting and staying with tomorrow night, and a friend who I shared a golf cart with yesterday tested positive. Both are ok with only mild symptoms I think it’s stalking me

Took a 4th COVID booster recently- along with the flu and RSV vaccines.
Pretty sure the side effects are insomnia- and a need to post on random chat boards at 2AM. Sure am glad those selfless Dr. Fauci types exist. Those people protect the stupid from themselves.
Ivermectin pushin' Dr. YouTube is only in it for themselves- Dr. Fauci has people's best interest in mind. Go get vaccinated- or don't.

Covid will never be over, just like colds and the flu. The good news is that more and more people have greatly increased immunity. That's right- COVID is here to stay. Kinda' like the flu- or polio- or tetanus. There's this thing called science- maybe we should trust that stuff. Just go get vaccinated- the Earth isn't flat- and Trump lost.

No but I get a flu shot every year. You do know, I assume, that flu is not 'just another cold' .

I don’t think there is any such thing as a “cold shot” is there? Unless he means?
