My wife and I just came home from vacation, and after 4½ years of avoiding it, we have COVID.
(lemmy.world)
We social distance, usually wear masks in public, and stay up to date on our vaccinations. But all it took was one lady with a mean cough on a two hour flight a week ago to ruin that...or so we think.
The timing really sucks. I had plans for my weekend.
After so many years you are still wearing covid masks and doing tests? For me the last time I wore a mask was almost two years ago, and only because I visited another country where it was still mandatory.
It may surprise you to learn that sometimes other people make different choices from you.
No that is absolutely expected, but the pandemic has been over for a long time.
This winter was the second largest wave of the pandemic. You're a fool.
Maybe it's different where you live, but in my country the covid pandemic has been over since at least two years.
yeah, I guess if you put your fingers in your ears and say "lalalalala I can't hear you" when people post evidence of the pandemic NOT being over (like the positive COVID results you're posting under, CDC/WHO data showing increasing infection rates, etc), then it really IS over. very rational and materialist perspective to maintain :)
What planet do you live on?
No it hasn't.
Well whatever you call it, the virus is still everywhere and making lots of people sick. It's not at all odd to wear a mask when you don't want to catch a bug, or if you think you may be at risk of passing a bug on to others. Some close family members had COVID last week so we all wore masks for a bit, and I wore a mask in crowded situations so as not to pass it on. Seems like quite a normal thing to do, and so far the rest of us didn't seem to catch it.
not according to the World Health Organization. or most epidemiologists. you are spreading dangerous misinformation
Over, huh?
Those stats are from some foreign country, completely irrelevant for me.
Okay. And on the flip side, the pandemic being over in some foreign country is completely irrelevant to the post—and me.
depends on the thing, it's actually insane to not wear a mask at the airport or on a subway
So 99 percent of the population is insane, alright.
I would go with "propagandized", lots of insane people still make the great public-interest decision to wear a mask
Just say you don't care if immunocompromised people die because you don't want to be slightly inconvenienced.
Dipshit.
And "social distancing"! They must enjoy it.
Who doesn't? People are gross and I want them to stay away from me.
Wherever you go, there you are.
