Covid-19

[D-West & PO-Z]

But there's no difference.

Does that grocery clerk not have a mother? A daughter?

There is no difference between a 5 min both parties masked interaction with the grocery store clerk and an unmasked indoor social gathering?

You realize that is what we are talking about here right???

EDIT: That is a rhetorical question, no need to answer because I know for a fact there is a huge difference. If you need help understanding why thought I will explain.

So is booze completely isolating himself from every single person in the world? If so, then fine. But I seriously doubt that is happening.

I bet booze goes to the grocery store. I bet he goes to work. I bet he goes to the pharmacy. I bet he interacts with other people. Is he not putting those people into the same risk category as he would his parents? Is he mad at himself for potentially infecting a stranger at Kroger or CVS?

We're all at risk of giving this to someone else, even if we follow the rules.

Bingo!! Man, you're on fire today!

I don't believe I have seen that about the vaccine, that was about natural antibodies which are thought to last 3-8 months at least.

So is it a vaccine or not? To me, and maybe I don't know the definition, but a vaccine means ended and done.

I am not sure they know yet. But there are other vaccines that you have to get more than just once and done.

You don't want me to answer because you know there's no way to rationalize the ever-flowing cycle of spread. Stop trying to. It's a highly contagious pathogen, it spreads like fire. That's what it does, there's no stopping it except mass isolation (unrealistic) or immunity (in the works).

If you're that afraid, just stay home and control you.

Hey practice is good..

I believe Waggy is correct. I'm pretty sure I've read that you will have to get the "vaccine" every year. Additionally, it is my understanding that the "vaccine" does not necessarily stop you from getting Covid, but will supposedly help reduce the symptoms.

I'm confused at what's confusing here. Are things that much different in Ohio?

I actually don't go to work, and my wife doesn't work at all. We go to the grocery store and limited other retail (pickup when we can). Mostly we hike and do things outdoors. I don't think that the fact that I'm lucky enough to be able to work from homes gives me the right to judge those who can't, although it may change how we interact with them.

We have a group we interact with in our neighborhood. We don't socialize indoors, but we do socialize outside and let the kids play without masks, etc. We hung out all summer and fall and we get together when we can in the winter. We know what everybody is doing. If someone does something risky like eat in a restaurant or stay in a hotel / air bnb.

"Hey everybody. It's nice weather this weekend. Want to get together with the kids for a beer or two around the Patio heater"
"Friend 1: Sure, but we ate at a restaurant 4 days ago, is everyone OK with what?"

If someone exposed the group to COVID that they picked up during their normal course of life, no one would really care. If someone exposed the group to COVID because they went down the shore for the weekend and didn't mention it, people would probably be pissed.

It's about transparency, not necessarily risk.

Correct - realistically, as of right now, the people who have had covid are more protected with anti-bodies than the people who have received the vaccine, so...

Wow, just wow
