Reply to comment by tschris in New coronavirus subvariant, XBB, now widespread in New England by uxd
No, it's the fear of going out and enjoying life after being in semi-isolation for this duration. In other words, I'm not going to remain in isolation like I have, no matter what comes next. But I always get whatever annual vaccination is recommended as a general precaution.

Isn't where most people are right now? Very few people are calling for more lockdowns and closures.

Vocal minority here though. A lot of virtue signaling and “look how alone I’ve started” Olympics.

Nah. Just old and vulnerable health. Had to take severe precautions. Now I'm bored and don't give a shit if my life depends on it anymore. Ironic thing, I always said we could lose to the microbes, then covid and all its mutations came along. Thought I'd be dead by now, so I think I just might live a bit first.

Several co-morbidities here and I’m basically where you are. Fully vaxxed and boosted, I do the flu shot every year, I’ll still mask up on public transit, and my work shuttle (MASCO) requires you to mask up even if you don’t want to. Only so much you can do. Of course I don’t want anything to happen, but the Big Guy might have different plans. I’ll hang out at the bar, enjoy a couple cold ones and BS, and hope for the best.

Yeah, I still wear a mask in crowded conditions, like public transit and waiting rooms. Some of the people in my building are ancient, so I'm cautious around them. But, yeah, overall, hoping for the best.

But you also said "that's it" after being vaxd and boostered x2. ??

Oh, hell! I thought the topic was the XBB variant. And all the other microscopic things that can kill us.

How dare you have a reasoned and nuanced take.

How dare someone downvote you? I love sarcasm.
