At this point we've all done all we can. We've got as much protection as we're going to get and we've now been dealt a favorable strain.

…it's pretty much inevitable now anyway.

Welcome to the party, JuanHamm.


I've personally been at this point for ages, but my Dad had lung cancer and chemo last year so I've been worried about him.

He's recovering well and, while I'm still worried, he's an adult and can make decisions for himself. Like Burt said,at his age you kind of have to make the most of the time you have.

I don't disagree with this, and I've never asked my parents to sit on the sidelines of their lives. But my dad's a heart patient who has a defibrillator implant. He's 67, my mom is 65. So he's definitely high risk and she likely is as well, just based on age. They're currently refusing to get the booster, are still going unmasked when going to church every week, in the grocery store, etc.--needless risks that could legitimately cut down on their potential exposure. Masking might not prevent infection, but it could limit viral load and the booster would definitely help prevent a serious case.

Of course one long-latent thing the pandemic has made abundantly clear is that my father doesn't apply a lot of critical thinking to his day-to-day life and my mother is a fucking moron.

macphisto was right!

Following the incident, King attempted to clarify her comments in a statement to the school board, writing, “I in no way meant to imply all guns loaded as in actual firearms, but rather all resources I can muster to make sure that my children get to attend school without masks. My sincere apologies for my poor choice in words.”

Neighbor kid reported exposure at school but since my kid is vaxed he doesn’t have to get tested or stay home. Woot!!

Can’t believe I didn’t think of booking a trip to a place with globe-leading Covid 19 lockdown restrictions. Sounds like a real dream.

I guess it's all relative. You currently live in a place with globe-leading Covid 19 death and disease.
