Reply to comment by MysteryNeighbor in NYC Issues Plea as ‘Most Transmissible Form of COVID-19 We Know of to Date' Spreads by brooklynlad

Your issue is that it’s not about whether or not you get COVID. It’s about reducing the number of times you get COVID. It’s very clear that getting COVID 4+ times creates serious organ damage and the less times you get infected, the better health you have. It’s not an all or nothing debate like you’re trying to make.

I am in no way making this an “all or nothing” thing. Use the best quality of mask, stay up to date with vaccination, try as hard as you can to maintain a safe distance but accept that you can get COVID anyway.

I have done and continue to do all of that shit yet got COVID from my kid sister in October because her school just lets everyone roam maskless and be right next to each other.

In short, do what you can to avoid infection but society is currently in a place that runs directly counter to those preparations.

It shouldn’t fucking be this way but our government (both this administration and the former one) is willing to throw it’s citizenry under the bus to appease those who can’t stand to wear a cloth over their face

Maybe you shouldn’t say “the fuck can he even do” in the first place lol. Since you seem to know and mention very clear steps to mitigating COVID risk.

I don’t know a single person who wears N95 masks everywhere that has gotten COVID more than 1 time, and that’s way less than the average NYC resident I know.
