No sh!t Sherlock! Everyone I see around the supermarket is unmasked and openly coughing everywhere. People seem to believe the pandemic is over cos the asshat government said so.
What, to spread it unnecessarily?
I don't have my mates round, still open windows where I work (even when it's really cold), and haven't eaten in an indoor restaurant or sat in a pub since March 2020. So I'll allow myself to make the observation I did.
Really, the mitigations don't bother me.0 -

Yeah, I get that too. It's not something I'm paranoid about now, but just do easy mitigations that don't trouble me or affect my work. If I catch it after that (which I probably will do eventually), so be it. At this stage I just find it Quite Interesting about how long I stay clear.0 -

And given the still unresolved post-concussion-syndrome brain dysfunction I get, not keen on adding in post-covid brain fog too, if avoidable. No sofas involved, but just easy mitigations.
FWIW, still the majority of people in the local Co-op mask up, as well as the staff. I don't do big supermarkets anyway.0 -

Doesn't have to be indoors... hence my use of the word "indoors". It's all about reducing the risk: to my mind the highest risk has been in staying in small unventilated rooms with large numbers of the public.
Apart from work, I'd rather be outdoors anyway. And my largest school brass ensemble has rehearsed weekly, under cover, outdoors, since we've been allowed to mix year groups. They've just got on with it. and actually have enjoyed it. Mind you, the biscuits might help.0 -

Well, you can "move on" for about two months. After two years of worry, I do understand a sense of relief/release, as when I'd had my 2nd dose, then booster. OK, I was still cautious, but less worried about the likelihood & consequences.0 -
Sounds like he is managing risk well. Maybe he wears a mask in a supermarket then on his way home licks every for handle on his street. People that have had covid three times really are not good at risk management.pangolin said:Yeah not sure, friend at work has it currently for the 3rd time and says it's the worst he's had it.

Sit in out garden with plenty of ventilation. So, yes. I have a valid fooking point that unmasked people around
Me are putting me at risk and there seems to be f all I can do about it. Hence getting really pissed orf when I did get it from work. And I was pretty ill. So my opinion is pretty f’ing valid as I know what protection and measures I insist on in my own life.
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

I suspect some people just have more immunity - or maybe are just lucky - I don't think I've had it despite not generally taking more than the legally required precautions and living in the same house as people that have had it - I mean my wife had it so presumably she was infectious at least one night when we slept in the same bed (she did sleep on a sofa bed once she tested positive).[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

Do they know if the first one was delta or omicron? The former apparently gave little protection against the latter. Not sure about omicron/omicron...0 -

Reflect on how you got covid and start from there. Whilst you might be a bastion of virtue I am a bit fed up with those banging on about precautions when watching them operate makes me think they would struggle to avoid an STI. #thesupermarketisnotthatrisky.photonic69 said:john80 said:

Sit in out garden with plenty of ventilation. So, yes. I have a valid fooking point that unmasked people around
Me are putting me at risk and there seems to be f all I can do about it. Hence getting really pissed orf when I did get it from work. And I was pretty ill. So my opinion is pretty f’ing valid as I know what protection and measures I insist on in my own life.1 -

John80 - you need to move to Arizona, go off grid and declare yourself to be an independent state. That way no one who isn't you will cause inconvenience by requiring any consideration.1 -

We literally have part of the Building Regs that makes it a legal requirement for new buildings to be wheelchair accessible despite a tiny fraction of the population using one. We spend millions of pounds installing lifts that able bodied people don't need. You really do spout some nonsense sometimes.john80 said:

No sh!t Sherlock! Everyone I see around the supermarket is unmasked and openly coughing everywhere. People seem to believe the pandemic is over cos the asshat government said so.

I’m so you can go f yourself!

If you think that making everyone in a supermarket wear a mask is of the same value as making the world a more equal place for the handicapped then good luck to you. I have just built an extension and it cost me nothing to make it wheelchair compatible but you crack on with your logic.rjsterry said:

3yo had first negative today
Wife's positive but not as strong (she'll be more negative than normal in couple of days)
Mine is still pretty strong, so can't see me being neg till another 3 or 4 days.
We think the 16month old was patient 0 as she had a temp and a rash (common for viruses in kiddies).
Oh
