And I should have added soooo convincing and must have surely caused many to log off and rush to be vaccinated. Apparently, they do not seem to understand several points that others (not me) have made regarding this matter:
Having a treatment for covid is a good thing
Having a treatment for covid in a close location is a good thing
Being infected with covid does NOT always mean that person was not vaccinated
Some folks cannot be vaccinated.
Walking past an infected person does not mean that you are certain to become infected.
AND,
Not all "other" persons are less intelligent or lacking in common sense than what some claim to have.
Obviously, those that are being treated will likely head home after the process. A few may even stop at the doughnut shop for a coffee and doughnut on their way home. If you have your vaccination and if either one of you are wearing a mask, then the chances are nil that you will become infected. If you fear infection, then don't go to the square. There are plenty of other places where you can obtain a fat pill and coffee.

I consider the news of this treatment in the Villages to be fantastic and it is a shame that some elitists find the need to criticize.
I never, ever read or thought someone was implying, on this post that if someone is not vaccinated they should die???? In fact, I think most people realize that currently, vax or not does not determine if you get the virus, just its severity.
I dont think if that a person is "about" town with all these sick people and they themselves are vaxed and masked, that it's enough-as you stated...hence all these vaxed ones getting sick.
As far as insurance goes, absolutely...if you are not compromised and still do not vax AND get sick and need hospitalization...yes, you should pay that bill....not other's bill, just your own, probably $100,000 bill.....kind of similar to what Delta airline is doing.

I think in time the volunteer nonvaxers will get excluded from almost all social interaction, lose their jobs and acquaintances bc its just too risky for the rest of us.
