Viewing it as an inconvenience rather than a tragedy doesn't equate to being a conspiracy theorist.I have never believed anything other than covid is a real disease that has killed many people I just don't want my life put on hold in order to extend the life of a 90 year old bingo playing care home resident.

Clearly gaslighting as we all know (even you) this isn't a serious comparison.
But even if it were serious, and we even upped the anti to life for life vs just you being inconvenienced, I'd vote for playing bingo with granny or gramps. Good chance they earned it, in comparison to this reckless selfish attitude.

Be in no doubt that you are conversing with someone that would willingly throw someone overboard on a sinking ship in order to grab the last place on the lifeboat.
The difference is that I don't masquerade around here as mother Teresa unlike some others.

Next month it will be six months since I got my booster, I'm hoping they will let me get a fourth shot (being immunocompromised and ancient), especially since the first two shots didn't produce any antibodies. No announcements about it yet, but I made an optimistic appointment.

First 2 shots I took for 'everyone else' since the vaccin would stop transmission. Since this is clearly not the case I have the opinion that everybody who wants to needs to protect themselfs. There is no 'greater good' anymore, except making sure the hospitals don't collapse. For me (35yo) I don't really see any advantages of taking the vaccines anymore. I also don't have anything against them, so I will be getting my booster today. But to be honest I am not so sure if I will take the next booster (vax nr 4) and so on.

Our 23 year old female employee just returned after her third round of covid. This time just mild only needed Dayquil and 5 day quarantine. Fully vaccinated, no booster

well, even if I know another booster wouldn't help me I'd still take it since it helps to fight the pandemic and help others while another shot doesn't hurt me

It may take as long as 10 days to test positive or feel symptoms when infected, though. So, you may feel like a million dollars and might still be infectious.
With that in mind, it's hard to find a quarantine regime that is completely safe, imo.

The vaccines being created so quickly was an amazing accomplishment but I really believe that omicron is the best news of the pandemic so far.Omicron is moving through the worlds population at lightning speed and I think this will be over within months now.

Here you go ...
Britain is also "back on track" with 218.000 infections on the day.
In Holland a strict Lockdown was imposed during the past three weeks with another week to go. Nevertheless the number of infections is on the rise again since three days (no way near to what happened in the "big foor" in the EU (France, Italy, Spain, not so much Germany, but it may be just the start of it).
Omicron clearly seems to be milder (quite some reports lately) but the sheer number of infections may in the end have a major impact on local economies. Simply imagine 2 million people only being ill for five working days ...

Do you mean this particular surge will be over in a couple months, or Covid in general? I can see it going away for the most part over the spring and summer. But the next variant will probably be along, and with that another surge in the autumn as we go into next winter.

I believe the pandemic will be over within months.It looks like covid is here to stay but there is no doubt now that omicron is much milder than previous variants.Of course we don't know for sure what course the virus takes from here but the history of pandemics tells us they usually end with a much more contagious but much less lethal variant.

Never underestimate virusses. They go their own way. And although I really trust virologists on their experience and knowledge, but they know they can't predict the future.

I just like to remind you of the 2017/2018 influenza flu. The available (extensively tested) vaccins DIDN'T WORK as expected. 61.000 people died in the USA alone. Never underestimate virusses. They go their own way. And although I really trust virologists on their experience and knowledge, but they know they can't predict the future. Neither can you and me, Nate.
