Yes but most causes of death aren’t contagious! Not going to catch a heart attack or cancer from someone. As far as the original question, we are vaxxed and boosted and so are our friends so we socialize and travel as we want and mask if needed. Our daughter just graduated nursing school this week but has worked in the hospital around Covid patients since March. But as people rightly point out, a major worry with Covid is that it can overwhelm the hospitals and people can't be treated for other emergencies. Many people in hospital with heart attacks and obesity related conditions are taking up hospital beds because of unhealthy choices they made. Should we create BMI passes were only people who are a healthy weight can buy junk food and eat at unhealthy restaurants? Should people not be allowed to climb mountains or ski or do other risky activities because theres a chance of an accident and that puts hospitals under pressure? When was the last time that multiple hospitals across the country had to bring in trailers to set up temporary morgues to house all the bodies that were dying in their facilities of heart attacks or obesity or skiing accidents (or even all combined) in such high numbers in such a short period of time that they were overwhelmed and couldn’t process and house them all? The average hospital stay for a heart attack is 3-5 days; the average hospital stay for COVID is 7-10 days if not ventilated and over 30 days if ventilated. So, Non-vent COVID patients require beds for twice as long as heart attack patients, and ventilated ones for 6+ times longer. So, hospitals are much less able to treat and release them quickly than heart attack patients. Respectfully, you are comparing raisins to grapefruits. |

Floridian here. I feel really cheated. We hadn't even lived here a full year before I started having paralytic episodes and then Covid hit. So we really haven't been able to make the most of what our state has to offer.
Where we live, in a Tampa suburb, most people still wear masks in public places, and it is required in all medical facilities. We also have lower covid numbers than many other areas. I feel a bit safer now DH, DD and I have all had 3 shots. But I'm still high risk, and added to that this stupid paralysis that happens randomly, I'm still staying home almost all the time, as is DD. Hubby works from home. He goes out more than we do, mostly for things he has to do but sometimes just to get out (like riding his motorcycle).
However we're being told to expect 40,000 new cases a day by February, which is insane. I have a couple of medical appointments in January that I can't do via telemed, but with numbers like that, we'll be back to even stricter isolation for our safety.
Yes, it would be nice to get back to "normal," and we've had a little taste of that recently, but I am so tired of being ill... that's far worse than being stuck at home for me. So isolation it is, and telemed visits except for labs.
I am not at all sure that we're ever going to get back to life as we knew it pre-covid. I'm really not.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before , Vaccinated people still transmit the virus. I think there are two types of vaccinated people.
Those who take additional precautions to prevent transmission
(Like masks and distancing etc)
Then there are vaccinated people who don’t bother. They continue to spread the virus and increase transmission. More transmission = more variants More variants = less vaccine effectiveness with less protection More transmission also = more risk, more death, more Long Covid, possibly more dangerous vaccine resistant strains. It is a prolonged vicious circle . I agree with you completely. Because I have a kid who could only recently get the vaccine, I never stopped masking in public indoor places. I got vaxxed at the very earliest opportunity for me to do so, and the same for the booster. DD has been masking religiously virtually everywhere except at home and now is finally two weeks out from her second dose.  Meanwhile, my DH feels that since he diligently masked while at work when he had to and elsewhere when it was mandated, got two doses of the vax and the booster, and now feels that’s good enough. He will mask if someone asks him to or if a place requires it (like going into the school building which requires 100% mask compliance), but otherwise he’s “nah, I’m good.” 🙄 He also has a bunch of anti-vax, anti-mask Trump loving friends that he socializes with, I’m sure without masks. If any of us get it, it would likely be him first and him bringing that mess into our house. He’s also overweight and type II diabetic, so out of the three of us he should really be the *most* concerned and cautious, and yet, he’s not. Sigh. I just do what I can personally do to minimize my own risk, convince my kid to do what she can do to protect herself and pray that DH continues to be lucky because at this point that’s all I’ve got. I’m glad he’s at least vaccinated. Honestly I’m to the point your dh is. I wore masks when they were required, I wear them now where they’re required but otherwise no, I don’t. I’m vaccinated and boosted. I’m not considered high risk, nor is anyone in my house, except dh who is even less likely to mask. I do stay distanced simply because I don’t really like people 😆. How many posts do we have here alone where people say “I’m vaccinated and wear a mask religiously yet still got COVID”? I’ve just made my peace with the fact that I will eventually get it, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when. I’ve taken the proven precautions and statistically I won’t die or be hospitalized. (My county paper publish an article last week…of the 100k people who live here, we’ve had 285ish deaths, none were vaccinated, they’ve also not had a single vaccinated person put on a vent, that’s pretty good odds). That’s good enough for me (admittedly that choice is not right for everyone, including 99% of peaple on this thread). If unvaccinated people continue to take risks then f ‘em. Yes, I’m sympathetic to the strain on the healthcare system, yes it breaks my heart that they have to do that, yes I worry that I’ll need medical care and won’t be able to get it. Unfortunately I don’t feel me wearing a mask will help that by any measurable amount. My hope is that somehow I can convince the many unvaccinated people I know to just get the damn shot. |

Obesity is also far a more complex issue with both social and medical factors factoring in. It’s also not a highly transmissible contagious disease that you can get simply by breathing. |

More transmission = more variants

It is a prolonged vicious circle .This 1000000%. I thought about this a bit more last night. I am not living in fear. I AM living in resentment tho. I resent that my DD's college cancelled concerts, ceremonies, graduation, while other universities, esp in the south, wouldn't ever dream of taking the smallest steps, as painful as they may be, to help get ahead of this. I was super hopeful over the summer, until delta slammed its way through that hope. I am resentful that some people "just cant ever go back" while other areas then attempt to be part of the solution. I am really starting to wish the US would start doing what Germany is doing for the unvaxxed (cards, curfews, etc). NO ONE blinks about getting the polio vax, or MMR. I wish we could fine those who refuse to help and then want medical help to pull them through. Harrumpf. I am grumpy. |

YMMV. |

f I get it, and wearing a masked stopped me infecting someone else (vaccinated or not) with it, I consider that reason good enough to do it. YMMV. That is where I am at. I feel I have done all I can to not get it. But, I also know that if I have a mild case, or no symptoms at all, I can still spread it to others, who may not be able to get the vaccine. I honestly do not mind wearing a mask. It seems like such a small thing to do. |

I am at high risk due to health issues. I haven't been outside of my house, aside from for medical care, since 25 Dec 2019. I'm grateful that I've been in a position to stay in.
I'm also a caring person, which makes me wonder why, in the name of all that is holy, is not every single person doing everything in his power to stop the spread?
Between politics, selfishness, & ignorance, I begin to fear that we'll never get past this.
Whatever happened to the likes of "the greatest generation," who would curtail their own wants for the common good?
Sigh.

It’s sickening and completely gross that people like you continue to compare a pandemic, highly contagious disease to hiking and obesity. Before you open your trap again, why not get educated on what “contagious “ means. |

In a rush, but I think It was in this thread that someone lamented the lack of contact tracing going on.
My son tested on Tuesday. Positive came back on Thursday. Today is Sunday, and had a nearly half hour call with contact tracers a bit ago. So in his case, yes it did happen, Albeit, not in as timely a manner as any one of use would hope.

I wonder if all the people who think people are living in fear if they take precautions against Covid, are sitting in a house filled with guns. Talk about living in fear. Bring your AR15 to Walmart. Now that's living in fear.
Fuck all you selfish people! My sil is an ICU nurse. 40 patients in her unit. 39 unvaxxed. 1 vaxxed. Healthcare workers are overwhelmed and exhausted. Don't want a vaccine. Don't want to wear masks. Don't go to the hospital or doctor if you get sick. Keep your selfish ass home.

I just read this article Is it always going to be like this?" and of course, the answer is yes, but... From the article: The mistake we’re making isn’t the decision to move toward normalcy, which we must do and which we can do safely with reasonable precautions. The mistake is to base that movement decision on just ignoring COVID. If we’re thinking, “It’s fine to do playdates now, because COVID is essentially over,” then any reminder that it’s not over can cause us to lurch to a different decision.
Instead, we need to think about these decisions with a realistic stance on the existence of non-zero COVID risks. And the recognition they will likely exist essentially forever. and There is a complicated subtlety to this advice and this phase. Learning to live with endemic COVID — which, yes, is what we are going to need to do — is going to mean accepting the existence of COVID and taking precautions. But it will also mean acknowledging that it isn’t the only risk or even probably the most significant risk we face most of the time. We need to arrive at a point where we take a rapid test when we need to, but COVID doesn’t live rent-free in our heads all the time.
Is it always going to be like this? In a sense, yes. But we can learn to adapt.emilyoster.substack.com/p/is-it-always-going-to-be-like-this |

South Texas checking in. My household is fully vaccinated, both children included. We still wear our masks when we go out and my kids still wear them at school. We have started going more places, the theater, out to eat, etc. but our county, the people of Bexar County have really stepped up to the plate. We're 80% fully vaccinated in the adult population (over 97% with one dose) and over 70% fully vaccinated children 5 and over. Even with all of that, we're still 200+ new cases/day and 9 deaths in the last week. Our hospitals are not overwhelmed with Covid.
Mask wearing is about 50/50, but overall some things are starting to feel normal-ish. If we eat in a restaurant we try to go at less populated times, both for our sake and the restaurant's (there's an awful shortage of workers). We plan to go to the first movie we've gone to in two years and will go to a less popular theater close to us, early so that there aren't a lot of people there. Living our lives, but being taking an appropriate amount of caution.
I wish we had a governor that gave a shit, but at least our city leadership does.

She does not wear a mask ( as we have learned many do not in Texas) and has not necessarily been limiting where she goes. She did come down with Covid and assumes she got it while out shopping. Nothing was ever said about going out shopping afterwards, only that is where she presumed she got it. I could be wrong (and often am) but that is my take on what she meant. |

And that's really the problem with this whole thing is that it is so drastically different even in short distances. If our state had real, true leadership and could manage to put forth a unified front then maybe we could close that gap. |

It's kind of her to share during this season of goodwill don't you think /s I don't consider using my common sense and evaluating risks, whether it impacts my health or anything else, as living in fear. Some on this thread have a very odd interpretation of the word " fear" IMO. I didn’t take the comment as that. I took it as she is in Texas and fully vaccinated. She does not wear a mask ( as we have learned many do not in Texas) and has not necessarily been limiting where she goes. She did come down with Covid and assumes she got it while out shopping. Nothing was ever said about going out shopping afterwards, only that is where she presumed she got it. I could be wrong (and often am) but that is my take on what she meant. My post was sarcasm in reply to rodeomom question that I quoted in my reply. But still even is the shopping after infection didn't even happen, by not wearing a mask she did quite possibly still infected others from the time she initially caught it ( in her words "possibly shopping") until she showed symptoms unless she stayed indoors for 3 or 4 days before her symptoms appeared. |

I 100% agree with you. Why are so many people so damn selfish?
