Enough of this nonsense already. If you want to live your life acting like the world is coming to an end, go right on ahead. COVID is not over, but the treatments are good enough now that you can get it and not be killed. That's the major difference. You can walk outside tomorrow and be killed by a falling brick. All you can do is live your life, but I'm not living in fear. You must be one of the sheep out there ALONE in their car or walking outside double masked. It's just stupid at this point. If you're INSIDE with tons of people, I could perhaps understand, but at this point, the people outside doing this crap are just virtue signaling and it's nauseating.

You're not more righteous or better than anyone else because you wear a mask outside. Give me a break.

What treatments?? Paxlovid that gives people Covid rebound?? Vaccines and boosters where people are still getting Covid anyway?? Face it, we have NOTHING to treat Covid and that’s the bad part!

Yeah. That's like expecting a treatment for the common cold or flu. Give me a break.

you getting sick is your body reacting to the germ and killing it.......

In hindsight that's what should have been done. Certainly after the initial "only two weeks."

This is exactly what should have been done... its not the governments place to tell us what to do.

Ok, but the purpose of wearing a mask and taking precautions is to NOT get sick. Too much sickness is bad for your body and can cause long term, if not permanent, health problems.
