COVID is only serious for a very small percentage of individuals with preexisting conditions in which the coronavirus is the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back. That said, if you already have health issues, then do wear a mask and practice social distancing. For the rest of us, we can get back to normal and not worry about it.
I know a great many people who have had COVID all with very mild symptoms. I never wear a mask and have been in close contact with other infected individuals and never had any symptoms.
"Misinformation is just as dangerous as the disease is right now," says Erie News Now Contributor, Dr. Becky Dawson. "I think we are spreading misinformation as quickly as we are spreading the disease."
Don't buy into the hype and fear. Allow common sense to rule the day at last and enjoy the holiday season!

You are part of the problem we have here in America. You very well may have been an asymptomatic carrier of the virus and who know how many people you may have passed the virus to.
Just one question......did you quarantine yourself the the required amount of time when you knew you were in close contact with an infected individual?
