I hope you are recovering well. Honestly not sure what your point is. Are you saying that for someone who is infected that the probability of not giving it to others around you is not very high? The gist of what I'm saying is that even if you think that your chances of dying, or even inconvenience, from the virus is extremely low, your ability to control its spread to others is also pretty low. Meaning that you can become a vector to someone who is at high risk. So people going to corona-parties thinking only about the impact on themselves is reckless and selfish. |

There's a lot to say about Covid-19. We've learned a lot about it since the start. But objectively, its transmissibility is not what was feared. So the scare tactics about that -today- is wrong.
Covid-19 can be deadly. All people and politicians should have taken it seriously. I don't fault people for being enthusiastic in their political corner, and in the U.S. there were a lot of lines crossed by both sides.
My personal reaction was to be overly cautious. I got it anyway when I started being less strict. And it was nearly as bad as I feared. But I also think governments were wrong to force shutdowns, prevent assembly, etc. It was a misuse, and a spectacle.
High risk people have the option to do what they need to, or to be surrounded by people who advocates for them. (And that right there, I bet, is where you and I will fundamentally disagree). And I respect your disagreement.
Without safe vaccines we'd be having a different conversation. But now is the time to find more answers, spread truth, and be good to one another.
I actually find it a little fascinating that your comment, the first two replies (and mine) all differ tremendously in what we deem important takeaways.
As my doctor puts it "It is definitely a strange bug".
