The reality is treatments will just improve but covid isn't going anywhere. It's unfortunate but it's true. Vaccines and treatments will improve, fatalities and ICUs will decrease along with them, but at some point we're all going to go back to normal in a world where covid exists.
I live in a country with close to 90% vaccination rate on adults, so the death numbers are way lower, and so is my perception of the situation. If the deaths were in the thousands I would be more worried.
Well reddit is by the vast majority people in the US, where there are thousands of deaths still. And the only reason your country is doing better is because they "obsessed" about controlling it.
The only reason we are doing better is because we decided to take the shot. Not cause of our government's stupid laws or people pointless histeric measures.
The people who are anti vaccine don't care. Smart people who got the shot don't care. The only people scared at this point are the dumb people who are vaccinated. Get vaccinated, or don't, and go about your lives.
Conveniently left out the group of people who can't get the vaccine for various reason. And the fact that the Vaccine isn't some magic covid force field. Or that it's the large amount of unvaxxed that are perpetuating the mutations by letting it continue to spread, making the Vax less effective for the "smart ones". Look a little bit beyond 2+2 for once.
Im sure you meant carry the virus regardless of Vax. But being vaxed makes you less likely to catch and spread it. So because we can't eradicate it completely we shouldn't bother doing things to mitigate?
They are on their own? You realize the entire reason humans are where we are is because we have the ability to care for the weaker of our species, unlike every other thing on earth. But because someone was born immunocompromised, fuck em?
There's the key point to your outlook right there. You're a selfish asshole. Thanks for saying it directly.
No one is seriously proposing perpetual lockdown forever. Just tale the precautions to mitigate. But half the country refuses to take any of those precautions.
Odd how other countries have handled this so much better but there's just nothing to be done in the USA short of just indefinitely sacrificing anyone deemed less than worth looking out for.
Vaccine efficacy is proving to be not what we'd hoped, break through cases are rampant.
Sure I may be an asshole but I am not going to put my life on hold in perpetuity, get over it and grow up. If you want to get off on fear so be it, as for me I have had Covid and I have been vaccinated. I am getting on with my life and don't give this shit a second thought anymore.
Again, nobody expects for everyone to just spend the rest of their life in the house. That's a complete strawman that people say to make it seem like 1 side is trying to be extreme as possible. Just mitigate the damage, which is apparently too much to ask.
And why do you "idec about covid" people so adamant that everyone else is just living in fear? Only time I even think about covid is when faced with an admittedly selfish person who thinks them going to taco bell is more important than someone elses life.
And the vaccine works well. It's not a force field for covid, just like every other vaccine in history and it has much better efficacy the more people have it.
They would bother because they don't want to pass that less dangerous thing on to someone that it isn't less dangerous for.
They would bother because the think about, and have consideration for things outside of their own asshole.
For example, I'm 22 and in good shape. Covid is extremely unlikely to kill me (let's pretend long term damage to lungs and such isn't being frequently documented even among the young and healthy). I still got Vaxed and wear a mask because there are people who aren't 22 and in good shape. And I don't wanna be even a small part in hurting/killing them when it's incredibly easy to take the precautions not to.
