@torunn saidYou do know you still could get it right? You just wouldn't get as sick so they claim.
I don't think I would. My daughter, in spite of two vaccinations, got slightly ill for a couple of days and to be able to return to work she took a test, and it was positive. I had spent time with her but didn't take the test, I feel pretty safe with my three vaccinations.

@very-rusty saidThat's a risk we still have to live with as long as these viruses are still around. We shouldn't have to be afraid, just normally cautious. There's another risk we need to do something about - we get lazy and blame it all on the pandemic. Have you noticed?

@torunn saidCovid is no longer front of my thinking when I get on with my working day. I've taken all the necessary precautions and continue to have good hand hygiene etc but at some point we just have to learn to live with this thing. It isn't going anywhere soon.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidAgree, we have done what we could and have to go on. We must allow ourselves to go back our normal social life spending efforts and money, to enjoy life with our friends.

@torunn saidTY...last Saturday my wife & I were with my grandson ( for about 2 hrs), while he was on a break from Univ ( UC Berkeley)...He wasn't feeling so great...then the next day he said his school called and said he was positive for Covid-19... after 5 days we did the home test kits and both of us are negative.....You are right, just go about your normal life and don't worry.....

I believe we have always been surrounded by different kinds of seasonal illnesses, influenzas, and usually don't worry about them. Enjoy life and focus on the good things. "This too shall pass."

@ogb saidIn the UK pre covid, influenza could kill 20,000 people in a year and no one blinks an eye.
