Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

Vet clinic just posted they are closed because of covid for 2 wks. They had been just doing curbside unless an euthanasia, then one person could go in with animal.

Our clinic was doing by appointment only and you had to wait in your vehicle for them to come take your pet. Now you can walk right in. No mask no nothing

I need some advice. We have had a NYE party planned for a while now- outdoors, open air. My whole family is vaccinated, but not all of the attendants are. We’re expecting anywhere from 10-40ish people. Would it be foolish and putting us and everyone else at risk to attend and host this event? 3/5 of my family members are boosted, and the other 2 are fully vaxxed. It’s pretty implausible to ask everyone to test before attending. Do we cancel or not?

Just my humble opinion, based on observation, data and science, doesn't really matter much what you do.
I'd just go ahead and do it, isn't that why we all were vaccinated? To live life?
I and my family didn't get covid at a thousands of people unmasked theme park Lego Land this summer, didn't get it from work, didn't get it from shopping in stores with unmasked people. We got it from our always mandated to wear masks in school kid's who do not go anywhere or do anything else, myself, DW, and our 17yr old all vaxed got it from them.
Fact; triple vaxed, boosted get and spread covid ( Fact check!!!! Vaxed, vaxed/boosted have the same peak viral load , but spread shed for a couple fewer days) .
Testing for covid yes a good tool, helps identify positive, but negative is only that moment, can be positive shortly after. It's not like testing for a STD, you know whether or not you could ever have a STD , covid you don't cause we all breathe air.

Said on the news tonight that even if you test positive if you are asymptomatic to quarantine but only for 5 days instead of 10. Im almost wondering if its because of false postive results?

Based on how long your actually contagious, this has been known for a long time, nothing new. Kinda like the sanitizing hard surfaces many did for what a yr + , been known long time now can't get it from hard surfaces.

Are you sure about the hard surfaces?

My kids got covid just before Halloween. They live with me. They thought they only had a cold their little guy probably brought home from daycare..until my son lost his smell and taste. Yep. Both had Covid. I had just gotten my booster about a week before they got covid. Had been eating together in the kitchen while they were sick, visiting in the living room. I never got it. I have a low immune system too. Old too. I believe that the vaccine helped me.

Well, I wouldn't be licking any hard surfaces!
I think these new CDC guidelines are confusing for many, and focused more on keeping things open, rather than what might be best practice.. Hope to be wrong!
DH and I are in the higher risk category for this, fully vaccinated, and aren't going to any parties, or hosting any.

The vaccines helped my when I had a breakout case last August. Not in the hospital, not dead. And DH didn't get it from me, another plus. He's unwell right now, and had another test today. Hope it's negative!
This has gotten very old, we are as tired of the whole thing as everyone else.

I agree with her line of thinking. Even the "professionals " say all these vaccinated people are getting covid but are asymptomatic so its not that far fetched for vaccinated people not knowing they have it to be unknowingly spreading it believing the all mighty vaccine has a force field around them.

Perhaps I was unclear. She thinks the vaccine itself is causing sickness in unvaccinated people; that the government is vaccinating people in order to make them toxic to the unvaccinated. And just fyi, I, who am vaccinated and boosted, always mask in public, frequently wash my hands with soap for 20 seconds, try to maintain social distancing, and avoid crowds like ... well, like the plague. In my experience, it is UNvaccinated people who are careless, and who believe that "we're all going to get it anyway, so why bother taking precautions?" (I've heard this from many of them; I've asked!) They won't get vaccinated or take any of the precautions I just listed and they sneer at me for doing so. I've had my faith called into question as well as my sanity.
