Slow News Day posted:If you are fully vaccinated and otherwise at no risk, then by all means, resume your previous lifestyle, including brunch, gym, conferences, sports events, etc. Issuing public health advice based on individual risk-assessment during a pandemic with a highly infectious respiratory virus that is spreading among the vaccinated is a big reason why we’re at where we are today. Gyms, conferences, brunch, and sporting events aren’t going anywhere and can be easily avoided. There is hope with nasal spray vaccines, Pfizer and Merck’s protease inhibitor etc. that things tomorrow will be better than they are today.

When I ended up in the ER this spring after I herniated a disc in my back, the nurse proudly told me she’s worked the entire pandemic without catching Covid or getting vaccinated. That’s why I think we shouldn’t get vaccinated. She’s an authority, you see.

Slow News Day posted:otherwise at no risk This phrase is doing a lot of heavy lifting considering long covid develops in 10-20% of cases (including asymptomatic + vaccinated) and basically involves playing permanent disability russian roulette once for every major organ group in your body including brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, sense of smell, and sense of taste (just going off what peer-reviewed studies have indicated so far, and more likely pretty much every other commonly afflicted organ group). Everyone should be staying in their houses if they have the opportunity to do so. S w a y z e fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Sep 25, 2021 |

If these friends are pushing you to act like a loving moron, they either actually hate you or they're terrible at that they do. Either way, stop being an idiot and encouraging other idiots to do dumb things that will make this pandemic worse in your area. Slow News Day posted:This sounds quite patronizing. Are you suggesting you know better than them? Are you an expert? Would you rather we treat you in the manner you've earned? Of course it's patronizing; they're wrong, end of discussion. There's nothing you can say to make what they believe to be correct, and since you don't have the luxury of "not knowing any better" by being in this thread, you're an rear end in a top hat for parroting their bullshit. If you were asking questions of the professionals here that'd be one thing, but you're not. You're starting from a conclusion and imagining your premises to be true to support it. The whole position is rotten from top to bottom, and was not arrived at by any thought or evidence. GonadTheBallbarian fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Sep 25, 2021 |

The case rate in my state is already dropping, we are at 70% fully vaccinated and 80% with one dose, and in my area in particular the case rates are way, way down (delta has mainly been hitting the chud parts). I dunno, I feel pretty ok about it. Last week when I went out for my first in person happy hour with a coworker since 2020 I felt ok with the risk. It was my personal risk assessment and so far so good.

Which would put India at about 3,000 deaths per million.

Please tell me what part of my personal risk assessment wrt to covid is absolute poo poo. I don’t think he meant you personally and was discussing other posters. With cool heads I think we could agree that people’s individual risk assessments are not based on a rational assessment of all the known facts on the table, with extra room and caution for the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns. Now, I don’t have something I will cite at this moment, but it is clear to me that relying on untrained (and politically polarized) individuals to assess their personal risk — which is not something that occurs in frictionless rational actors floating in a vacuum — has been a total disaster at every level in the United States. The average person simply isn’t equipped to understand their own risks, let alone the population level risks. Even people who know both categories of risks pretty well are susceptible to social pressures and fleeting desires. Which is why trained experts are supposed to assess the available research, trends in data, and the international situation so they can communicate clearly what has to be done to people unfamiliar with living in pandemic conditions. Pandemics have happened before. I don’t think this society has invested in civil preparedness on a large scale since Cold War. There are failures stretching back decades that bring us to this moment, when I am still afraid to fly home because I don’t want my folks to die from something I pick up in a disease-ridden country. I probably will go after I get a booster, because it’s not going to be safe for years and that is the most protected I will be for a while. That’s my personal risk assessment and I hate that I have to make it personally, because if there is anything I’m aware of it’s that there are a lot of things I’m totally unaware of.

For those who are vaccinated and continue to stay at home as much as possible, not see friends etc, at what point would you consider it safe to do those things again? Lower case numbers? Personally I’m a “get vaccinated and do what you want” person but that’s probably a factor of my government telling me I can’t visit another vaccinated friend or else lll get a 1700 dollar fine. It’s pretty bullshit.
