Just because you were lucky enough to suffer only mild symptoms (perhaps because you were vaxxed, or maybe you're just very healthy otherwise) the person YOU INFECT may not be so lucky.
I don't know what's happened to common sense in this country. Ignorance is indeed bliss.

Also, the unvaxed have largely chosen that for themselves so it’s not really everyone else’s problem. Elderly and immounocompromised should be in N95 anywhere in public.

SO many studies available on that now
Your comment is as such, pointless. Why should a select group of society yield to that demand?
You're probably one of those all on board with forcing injections into peoples bodies at the point of a sword aren't you?

If you are sick, you stay home until you are no longer sick. Simple as that, works good, lasts long time.
Yep. And people act like this is a news flash.

I mostly blew off the covid hysteria, but when we actually got it, I was pretty strict with the kids about staying home and getting tested before venturing out again.
