| Jaicee said: There has been a very real and serious human cost stemming not only from this goddamn virus, but also from the mitigation measures imposed to control it. I think getting a visual of that cost might help put matters more in perspective for you. Nevada lifted their indoor masking requirements the other day. Here's a glimpse of what the response looked like inside one school room in Las Vegas: |
Yes, there is a human cost to something like a pandemic but why would I take the opinion of a child who only ever cares about what happens in their immediate time frame. Even most young adults are more concerned about having their life disrupted instead of long term concerns because its to far in the future and they are more ruled on emotion.
Why do you equate being vaccinated as a measure that stops you from spreading the virus. Just a few weeks ago my Son came down with COVID, he is vaccinated. After he came down with COVID, I caught it as well, I am vaccinated. Maybe the problem with your line of thinking is that you fully do not know or understand what being vaccinated means. Being Vaccinated does not mean you still cannot contract the virus because no vaccination is 100% effective and it definitely does not mean you cannot spread it once you get it. For the both of us it was pretty mild but my Son face more of an issue then I did. I really only had a very bad headache for a day or so while my Son experience flu type symptoms with Head and body aches, cough nasal issues.
I continue to wonder if COVID was more deadly where we would be now. Well, because inherently people are selfish, we probably going to find out but the cost you believe is so important today probably going to be nothing if this progress to something bigger. I believe we got very lucky with COVID but the response shown so far in the US, we all probably would have been looking at millions of deaths before we got people to actually mobilize. Now with COVID fatigue, this is a prime time for a new variant to cut through like a knife.
