Maybe they're brighter than the public. Taking a shot of vaccine. And they already know who's going show up at the lines. They're smart too. Contact tracing or they already have the addresses on possible shows at the lines.

Everyone else? Do whatever.

People can vaccine up and mask up voluntarily.

Stop acting as though everyone is GOING TO DIE.

We're not.
Amen.

How does one know where their virus originated from?

How would you ever pass it on to someone who is vulnerable?

They should be home, taking charge of their health.

Anyone who is vulnerable who believes they are at severe risk for severe COVID is being stupid.

If going out into public means you *will* get deathly ill -- as posters here keep screeching -- WHY would you ever go out??? That's idiotic. Why put yourself at risk? Since the risk is SO tremendously high?

That would mean minute by minute testing.

Well, for one example, children under the age of five can't even get vaccinated. That means young children and babies. They tend to go out with their parents. People on certain medications are more prone to catching a virus, too. They have no need to just stay in the house if they take reasonable precautions, if others behave responsibly. On the other hand, if you spend the holiday with these same people and you were KNOWINGLY exposed, you could make them sick more easily. Maybe seriously ill, maybe mildly. All I can tell you is that the number of pediatric Covid cases in the hospitals here are soaring. This new variant is an ugly thing for kids.



On the other hand, you could just not give a hoot.

Young children and babies are extremely low risk. Flu is more of a danger to them.

Agreed. This is why I got my babies/toddlers vaccinated for flu and didn't bring my newborn out much (he was born in the middle of cold/flu season). Didn't let everyone and their brother hold/kiss the baby. You know, basic precautions.

What are the statistics regarding young children and COVID?

Are they at high risk? Which is a greater risk: a young child dying from COVID or drowning?

Please do some research. Get some facts. Stop spreading misinformation and being ANGRY about it.




On the other, you could just not give a hoot, and stay uninformed, parroting misleading MSM headlines.
