Every "expert" says something different about spreading it after inoculated against it. I choose to listen to the doctor that said one vaccinated and waiting a specified period of time, I will no longer be able to spread the virus. Of course anyone can spread it on their clothes or by touching a contagious object, but I doubt even the hysterical mask wearers will go into a decontamination unit every time they go out and about.
I suggest that those that are scared, stay home. Quit complaining about those of us that don't care and don't sympathize with them.
I will never tell someone not to wear a mask or take whatever steps to protect themselves. I will tell the ones that demand that I do something for their satisfaction to stick it, because I'm not going to change my lifestyle at the whim of some strangers that are ruled by panic and hysteria.
Less than one percent die from this. Lots more die in car accidents, doctor's mistakes, over doses, etc. If you are scared of dying, then stay in a hermetically sealed space and take lots of vitamins. Also do not allow any visitors.
Yes, I have lost two close persons supposedly "with" COVID, but I have also known over a dozen that have survived the illness, shrugging it off in a matter of a couple days. So, I am realistic that there really is a virus. I also know that my chances of becoming infected is very low and even lower that I would perish from it.
Don't like it? That's everyone's prerogative, right?

5 % of CV positive CASES in the over 65 age group DO die from CV. Many others are long haul types. Many others have near-death experiences and LARGE hospital bills. Now we are up to about 15 % of cases with problems that NOBODY would WANT to have. Right? That would be right only for someone that lived by themselves on the MOON. So, NO, not right!
