Huh? You understand there’s a difference between mass quarantining and quarantining a person carrying XYZ, right?
Next time? This time ain’t over yet. I’m still wearing my masks, alone in my car. I’m still getting three jabs a month. I’m still avoiding contact with humans.
Play it by ear and base my decisions on whats best for myself and family, taking into consideration the opinions of any physicians I may currently be a patient of.
Just like last time.
I kept my kid home for 1¾ years? He has passed every grade with high honors. Most recently 5th. We made sure he did well with studying.
Especially in times of difficulty or crisis, men have to be men and lead their families. I fell out with a lot of reactive bitchy complainers because when push came to shove, they proved that they’re reactive blameshifting bitches instead of saying “We’re a unit, we’re going this way, this how- and fuck anybody else and what they think.”.
Balls. Real ones that don’t retract at the sign of danger or apologize for being what they are.
Myself and others. Who knows if the next pandemic virus makes me contagious for days prior to symptoms? Has the added psychological benefit of keeping hygiene/safety at the forefront of my mind.
Things that are easy and cheap, even if the benefit may be small, seem like a good idea… Depending on the risk level posed by the next virus/disease. Small improvements, over large data sets can have big impacts.
I doubt we’ve seen the full picture of side effects yet. For either the vaccine or the virus itself. We are all at elevated risk for something I would imagine. Like HPV can lead to cancer or chicken pox leads to shingles, it stands to reason Covid may have some long term effects nobody can know yet. Especially considering it was a Frankenvirus sharing traits and structure with some pretty nasty diseases. The vaccine is showing early issues and was rushed through, or rather past standard testing trials so who knows what’s hiding.
I personally have not been vaccinated and don’t regret it yet. I caught Covid three times that I’m aware of.
The first time was absolutely brutal. I’m speculating it was Covid because it was about a month before Covid “officially” existed. I was sicker than I’ve ever been and had all the early hallmark symptoms. A fever that wouldn’t break for weeks, loss of smell and taste (which have not recovered fully), a copper taste in my mouth, pink eye, very labored breathing et cetera.
The second time was not as bad, but I did get monoclonal antibodies, which were nothing short of miraculous.
The third time I didn’t even know. I was going to a wedding with elderly people in the crowd and we were asked to test before showing up. I was happy to oblige. Zero symptoms but two positive tests.
I guess this was about 2 years ago now. Either I haven’t been exposed since or my immune system is equipped to handle it now
I remember reading the vaccine actually weakened immune response. I didn’t follow it too much though so who knows. I was more interested in the absolute disaster of economic shutdowns and how willing people were to play along than the virus itself.
