(20,999 posts)I was there months ago. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I have been wearing a mask for two years. I do everything I can to protect myself and others. That said, in an Omicron fluke, I caught Covid the day after Christmas. Luckily no one else in my family has been affected. I was bonafide ill for about 10 days. I am still not what I would consider fully 100% recovered. I am THANKFUL I was vaccinated. As an overweight, diabetic, 65-year old man, I know it could have been far, far worse.
Each time COVID-19 mutates and produces variants, we are playing Russian roulette. A new variant could be a milder strain, or it could be brutally virulent. We just don't know.
One thing we do know, is that if tRump*, the GQP* and various sycophants had not politicized this health crisis, hundreds of thousands of Americans probably would not have died needlessly. We could have had a handle on this months ago. We could have avoided much of the medical clusterfuck we now face.
If you don't want to get vaccinated, fine. FUCK YOU! If you don't want to wear a mask, fine. FUCK YOU! Please take your sheep wormer and horse dip and stay at home. Don't go to the hospital. Don't expect public health services to be at your beck and call. FUCK YOU.
