At Publix here, a few locals wear them, we get a lot of tourists from the midwest or the NE, probably about 1/3 of them wear masks.

Given that they’re admitted those masks are useless and everyone will get omi, it’s just fucking stupid.Evil gator said:

That sucks.
So what I haven't seen, because I really haven't bothered to look, have the symptoms of omicron changed since they were first reported. Either omicron gives you fevers, chills, and a lot of the stuff Delta did or Delta is still far more prevalent than the media talks about.
But if it makes you feel better, a 104 for a kid that age isn't a big deal. That's like a 101-102 for adults. Kids naturally burn way hotter in their fevers in the first several years. As adults we look at that number and freak out, but it's super common with little ones with any basic flu, sinus infection, etc.

Except for white liberals and sickly people, mask wearing is split by race here.
Black folks wear them everywhere... including while driving alone. White folks have just said fuck it, and moved on.

I just can’t get my brain around wearing shitty masks that basically do nothing, yet are aggressively enforced. This flight attendant Monday asked me to put my mask on, while I was eating, I told him no, I’m following the rules, and ignored him, he huffed off, I don’t think he liked whitey ignoring him

Surprised you didn't get zip-tied and put on a no fly list.
Did you sit for 2 hours with one French fry in your mouth Tom?

Weird, it's the opposite here. Blacks largely don't wear them unless they're clearly upper class

Asian lady had on surgical mask, plastic face shield, and gloves last night in Publix.

I still see people with a face shield and nothing else on....
wow! coworkers 40 year old twin sister had a heart attack. She'd had covid twice so that might have done something. a bit overweight but active, runs marathon and skis, etc. I sent her to the good cardio I know.

Was she vaccinated?
And boosted???
I guess it would be boostered....

Might have.
What about the marathon runners that drop dead from a heart attack or the 2 guys I know personally who are in decent shape and had quadruple bypasses before 40 years old....long before COVID. We've made COVID a scapegoat for everything it seems.
I believe so. I think they are just looking for reasons why a seemingly healthy 40 year old would have a heart attack since it’s uncommon.
Sorry I was trying give this a thumbs up and hit down and it won’t let me change!Tommy said:

My sister took her to the doc today and it turns out she has a really bad double ear infection. She gave no indication that they hurt which is weird. I'm glad it's this though and antibiotics should clear it up. She did have COVID previously so maybe that weakened her immune system.Juggs said:

They do this at doctors offices which is logical given that blood and stuff might float around. I think people are pretty confused about their own risk and copy things that make zero sense.
So my boss was at a donor event with Democratic house leadership this weekend and were given multiple tests and hoops to go thru but a bunch of people have Covid now. There’s no way to not get it

I gave it a thumbs up to get it back to zero. :s alute:Evil gator said:

That's just it. People are really really bad at evaluating risks and the guidance from officials on covid has been confusing and contradictory. It's no wonder people have no grasp about what's effective and what's not.
