Locking covid positive people in nursing homes wasn't the answer.
Glad you are doing better though sinus infections are nasty. I'm totally supportive of anyone being able to freely make decisions based on what they think is best for their circumstance. For sure much of health and our quality of life lies between our ears and how we think. I applaud those who live thoughtfully. As the saying goes..."to thine own self be true"Baker,
You are right. In all cases, the most vibrant and healthy folks are able to fend off disease pretty well, regardless of the pathogen. Most recover well. It is always those that are otherwise sick, elderly, that are most at risk of hospitalization and death. COVID id no different in that respect.
My personal decision to fully vaccinate, isolate, mask, and generally follow guidelines was not primarily for self-protection. I've had good friends die from COVID and watch it destroy families. I don't value those with health issues any less than healthy folks. In some cases they have some responsibility for their state and in others none. Either way, I did not want to be part of the disease vector path that was responsible for the hospitalization or death of any of my friends and family or the community in general.
That was my logic. I understand the skepticism when it comes to "the government" and "big business". There are bad actors there as there are in most all aspects of society. We all need to use the best judgement God gave us and support one another.
Thanks again for your well wishes. I only had 2 days of mild symptoms from COVID, but I had a simultaneous sinus infection and it is still hanging on a bit. I'm not out of the isolation period and will be masking according to the guidelines. I had a very weak positive antigen test today, so I'm expecting to test negative in a day or two. Antigens can hang around for a bit after the infection is clear.
Thanks,
Jack
I see that as an individual question, not a political, economic, national or mandated question. Morals are slippery to define at a county level and tougher to mandate.The moral question is this. "Should we, as a country, take actions that reduce many deaths of the most vulnerable at the cost of the economic and other impacts we experienced?" At the core, many folks answered this question differently.
Masks can only hide so much. Are masks still mandatory on flights? If not those eyes could have been for you not wearing a mask!Why is it that every person wearing a mask on my flight out of ATL this morning was a short haired, dishwater blond, out of shape, middle aged white woman with b-eyes?
No.
I take about 8 flights a month and 99.9% of people don’t mask. But 99.9% of those that do, are covidian Karen’s.
For the record I blame Bill for shutting down the Covid pageThe moral question is this. "Should we, as a country, take actions that reduce many deaths of the most vulnerable at the cost of the economic and other impacts we experienced?" At the core, many folks answered this question differently.
What is discussed is science; unfortunately someone put an inaccurate spin on it. If you check the source you cited, you will see a tentative statement has been cast as an absolute conclusion.Pfizer's Covid booster & flu shot on same day 'raises risk of STROKE'
Millions of Americans got both shots at the same time this winter following a major White House public health push, which said: God gave us two arms - one for the flu shot and the other for the Covid shot.'www.google.com
Does this qualify as "the science" too?
It is political because it is a balance of one persons freedoms impacting the freedoms of others. I do agree it is an individual moral question and everyone has to answer for themselves, but those answers go into our political system via voting. It is our political system that tries (if not always the way I like) to balance between the freedoms of individuals when they are in conflict.I see that as an individual question, not a political, economic, national or mandated question.

I wish only that I could "like" Bills post 1000 times! F'ing awesome man!!!Oh man, I paused from entering a pretty full elevator in a hotel last week. One guy said come on in there is room. Karen in the back said yeah, you look vaccinated.
I can’t tell you the pleasure I took in announcing I wasn’t vaccinated as the door closed me in there with her…
Please refrain from making false claims about me. I did not make any statements. I asked a question. That kind of dishonesty has no place in a healthy discussion between adults.What is discussed is science; unfortunately someone put an inaccurate spin on it.

your statement ... "Phizer's Covid booster and flu shot on the same day "raises risk of STROKE."
You also might be interested in the credibility of your source ...

What the article actually says ... Getting Pfizer's Covid booster and flu vaccine on the same day may raise the risk of a STROKE, FDA says
Someone - you, or perhaps another site you visit is responsible for the misleading information - removed the words MAY raise and conveniently inserted "raises" to state/declare/opine the possible interaction of 2 virus vaccines increasing your chance for a stroke.
The number of cases where folks got both shots on the same day (N = 555,000) and suffered a stroke within 3 weeks included 130 persons or 0.00234234%. And while this number is extremely small in relation to the number of persons getting both shots in a single day, SCIENCE demands follow up studies so that - if a suspected causal relationship exists - folks (Drs and consumers) can be advised to avoid double-dipping on the same day. Then again, it may have been a spurious correlation.
When information is not presented accurately, folks quickly reach conclusions that are not justified.
Did you post this question on every other non habitat related thread on here?I wonder if there is forum out there on the internet called Covid Talk in which they occasionally have 10 page threads arguing about habitat management?
