Sheesh. Diet and exercise probably too tough or a regimen.
It's easier to demand everyone else accommodate by getting themselves vaxxed, rather than assume personal responsibility.

This really does illustrate the different ways people look at life. Some want to control others for their own convenience, while others want to control their own lives and are happy to extend that courtesy to others.

Hey Adam, can it be assumed that you are not a registered democrat?

Leon, I hope this doesn't cross the line about "politics" in a thread, if so, my apologies.

Mark, I consider keeping my family safe as more than a convenience. If you choose to be unvaxxed your personal responsibility is to stay away from everyone. I don't know why people feel they have a right to spread disease.

If you and your family are vaxxed, and you have confidence in it, then why worry about what others do?

The truth is, some vaxxed people are getting the virus too. So maybe you and your family should likewise isolate from the rest of us, since you are not immune either.

A big +1...... and by the way, it's NOT a disease as many like to say. It's a VIRUS with a 99.9+% survival rate for most IF you even get infected.

I was going to make a smart remark about the volatility of bitcoin impacting the value of that bet, but I'm not clever enough to make it work.

So there .

You are so right! That is why I never look both ways when crossing the street. 99.9% of the time you do not get hit by a car and when you do, you are unlikely to die.

One of my friends got COVID a month ago, fully vaccinated. He was ill for a while but not hospitalized, BUT he now has long COVID symptoms. He is a stand-up comic and the difference in his sets from pre-illness to post-illness is clear. He just is not thinking on his feet as quickly as he was and he is struggling to find a coherent structure to his jokes on stage. it is almost like he had a stroke.

The vaccinations are great at reducing hospitalizations and deaths for all but the sickest patients, but even so, long COVID is no joke and not worth the risk if you depend on your brain to make a living since no one knows who will get it. If you have a specific medical reason not to take a vaccine, that's something else entirely, but if the objections are not based in science, then you are just politicizing a deadly and debilitating disease. Do the vaccine, if not for you then for someone else's nana or pop-pop who may die or may be disabled as a result of your spreading the bug.

COVID is an abbreviation for "Coronavirus Disease." Coronavirus Disease. So COVID-19 is the Coronavirus Disease of 2019.

How is it "NOT a disease"? The term is exactly that, the name of a disease (the disease cause by the SARS-CoV-2 virus). I'm not sure what the poster thinks disease means, but there is a whole category of diseases ("infectious disease") caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and even fungi.

Regardless of one's political bent, this has to be one of the dumbest statements on the internet, and that says something.

Unless of course you meant inflation. As far as I know, inflation isn't a virus, but it might as well be.... In that case, I apologize in advance.

You mean we shouldn't be taking advice about science, medicine and economics from random online sports card collectors? :-)

You answered your own question. There is still a risk and the unvaxxed are perpetuating it. And you are right, we all have to deal with that.
