I hope you are all safe, too.

If everyone wore N95 or N99 masks, showered and washed their clothing when they arrived, cleaned and disinfected their items as they arrived, kept surfaces clean, kept air purifiers and fresh air flowing, socially distanced, ate their lunches at work in their own vehicles or outdoors, avoided restaurants during omicron season, and kept hands clean, then it's possible you won't ever get it. If you live alone and shield/isolate/shelter and only meet people outdoors while masked, then you won't get it.

It's a misnomer that everyone will get it. That's pandemic fatigue talking; that's not doing everything you can to reduce the spread. There are ways to reduce the spread, and it's similar to the same ways that were mentioned since they announced that this virus is airborne. It's just that people's pandemic fatigue have caused them to let down their guard. It's individual choices that are spreading this, not that this disease is inevitable. It's human behavior that can be altered, but it won't. People will do what they want to do, unfortunately. But we as individuals do have choices, if we can afford to do so.
We can wear masks around visiting family members, or choose to Zoom instead. There are many alternatives that people can do to avoid getting this virus.
