Why is it so important for some folks to live their twilight years in misery and dread? I know folks that are afraid of buying meat, because they are afraid of contamination, veggies for the same reason. Yes, it happens from time to time, but that is no reason for living in a bomb shelter in a hazmat suit.
I am not afraid of Covid, because I know that I am living on bonus years. I also know that I cannot pick one number on the lottery that is a winner, so my luck at gambling is 100%. I can't get it. OK, maybe I can but there is not enough chance to make me worry about anything but taking the minimal precautions in order to protect those I care about. Yes, I got the shots. I wouldn't have if it was just me I had to worry about. But, I did and as far as I am concerned, I have no more chance of catching the virus than I did before, and if it gives me an added benefit of protection, fantastic.
You folks need to either get on with your lives and enjoy, or go pick out a coffin before the wood prices go too high.

My concern is with the continued spread of misinformation. It has been from the very beginning ("it's no worse than the seasonal flu") and continues to today with variations on the vaccine is dangerous, the vaccine is perfect, masks don't work, people who are vaccinated can not get or spread the virus and on and on.
If you want to believe misinformation, that is your right. To spread misinformation that could lead to a person dying is not something I condone.
