I am over it. This is not killing or hospitalizing people at the same rate as it was. IIRC, over 95% of the people hospitalized here are unvaccinated. I am aware of several outbreaks in nursing/retirement homes which have not lead to deaths or hospitalizations. This seems as risky as the flu at this point, although I am still concerned with the after effects that could include diabetes or heart issues. We should all do what we are can when we are sick with anything to avoid spreading it to large groups, the elderly, and the at risk.
I feel like Covid has killed off so many good things in life. Festivals, music venues, theatres are permanently closed. I had plans to go to another country this year. They have some program to randomly screen international visitors for Covid that requires you to have phone and internet service while there, but I won't have either because I'd planned to go to a remote area with no connectivity. I can't even bring a negative test result to opt out. Visitors who test positive have to isolate for ten days while citizens just have to wear a mask. It just all seems over the top at this point.
