Reply to comment by PassportNerd in NY sees a 30% spike in COVID deaths in December, most since early 2022 by [deleted]

Yes, covid will amplify existing conditions. Still that does not downplay the seriousness of taking precautions to prevent reinfection.

To protect myself from Covid, I don't watch the news because I realize that their fear mongering is meant to keep me hooked and loyal to the narrative of their sponsors.

I prefer not to bury my head in the sand. Long covid brain fog already has me feeling as though there’s a sack over my head. It takes more courage to confront the things you are afraid of than to ignore them. To each their own.

Avoiding the news won’t protect you from covid. Taking precautions is not blindly accepting all media. Again, to each there own & I’m still a high risk individual & will behave accordingly.

Then take all the precautions you want. Just don't try telling me to wear a mask while outside on the Boardwalk at Coney. It's not going to happen.

I had fanatics in face shields yelling at me to "Put my mask on" while riding a bike on the boardwalk in Summer 2020. I'm leery of how intense the fear became.
