I don’t mean as an individual. I meant in public as a mass prevention mitigation. And not just masks. If social distancing and masks have been shown to reduce cases to virtually nil every season, then why isn’t every flu season there a shutdown and / or phased lockdown? Otherwise, we voluntarily choose as a society to leave lives on the table
There’s a flu vaccine. It’s available to anyone who wants it every year. I get one every year and I get one for my kids too. When the covid vaccine is available to anyone who wants it then we should drop the restrictions. Nobody is saying Covid restrictions should be around forever as long as there is a single case of Covid.
Exactly and that’s my stance as well. Until then I choose to mitigate best I can while still trying to lead some semblance of a normal life. I just know at the same time, there are some out there who think that we shouldn’t mitigate until cases are practically zero. Which is impractical at best and impossible at worst
Who is saying we should wait until cases are practically zero before we drop mitigation measures?
A few posters in this thread. Not you though. You’ve been a fairly reasonable guy to talk to
REPORTED. Nobody calls me ”reasonable!” I won’t stand for it!
I'm sure that was scary for your brother. I Googled atrial fibrillation and COVID vaccine, and the first hit was someone posting on a message board about pro-actively hydrating themselves, because fever is a known reaction to the vaccine and dehydration + stress is a known trigger for an AFib attack. Everyone is living with extra stress this year, and getting a shot in the arm is a stressful situation even if our mind knows that we shouldn't be stressed. By not reporting what happened, your brother denied himself and the rest of you the opportunity to examine how serious it was (was he in real danger, or did it just feel that way?) or what other reasons could have contributed to his attack besides a safety issue with the vaccine.

Sure if you just lie and make stuff upInteresting article
Texas coronavirus cases fall after mask mandate is lifted
Looks like the “Neanderthals” in Texas got it right - and President Joe Biden and the mainstream media were terribly wrong.
I would love cases to be zero and I would love to keep distancing cuz I hate people touching me lol but as long as this is decently controlled I won't need zero. Or even close to zero. I actually care more about hospitalized and deaths than recorded numbers. Similar to the flu. I will say masks when it's freaking cold out is great so I might just continue next year lol

Like half of the “news” on covid since it first began which is a MAJOR problem and why there are so many on different sides in all of this...no one knows what or who to believe
I mean, you posted an opinion piece from a known conservative news outlet. I do not think it's political of me to point out the conclusion of the piece was reached before any of it was written.
Does the fact something was published by either a conservative or liberal news organization automatically make it wrong? Texas is doing so much better than NY, NJ and Michigan it is not even worth the comparison. It is the liberal Northeast that is driving the number of Covid19 cases up not Texas and Florida.
It's a stated opinion piece. A designation of right and wrong is irrelevant to the point I was making. Regardless, now these posts will definitely be deleted because you made it political. Oh well.
