If you a vaccinated and boosted then the pandemic is over. The risks of serious illness, long Covid, hospitalization, and death are infinitesimally small.

If you are not vaccinated, well, sucks to be you.

I have lost my capacity to worry about Covid anymore.

I pay attention to the news and do not bury my head in the sand.

The vaccines have worked and it is way past time to go back to living.
