Everyone in there was unmasked and they were packed in like sardines. With that many people I would have skipped it and gone elsewhere, but we’d traveled for a bit to get there for brunch. I would have preferred open air. Soooo many people!I still don't get the point of the vax pass.

I will never again sit on a plane without an N95. Even before Covid I would sometimes get sick on my way to places. I can’t believe that I didn’t think of this before Covid. Asian folks knew. I have not seen an Asian person’s entire face in public since 2020.I will contiue to wear my mask when traveling.
I never thought of this before but you're right. The swine flu got them ready at a moment's notice.I will never again sit on a plane without an N95.

Before if people got sick it was COVID. Now we have all the nasties coming back full form.And we're back to sharing germs all willy nilly.
Some kind of virus is making the rounds at my job and people are coming in while still sick but think it's Ok because they say it's not COVID. Although there were only a handful of us dedicated mask wearers all fall and winter and there were isolated COVID cases, it was never this many people being ill at the same time. I'm blaming it on the citywide dropping of masking and proof of vaccination. Even some of the dedicated maskers have stopped. Plus, the weather has been all over the place so when it's cold it's ideal for catching viruses and when it's warm people are out and about and gathering and sharing those germs.
We'll see what the next few weeks bring.
This is infuriating - you don't want to wear a mask, fine, don't wear one, but this kind of scenario pressures people into feeling they should not be wearing masks, and makes the more intolerant feel they have the right to bully those who continue to wear masks.This country has gone mad.
Good job staying on top of your health.Ya'll I thought they got me. This weekend my throat felt weird and Monday I woke up feeling like I swallowed something that stuck in my throat. I opened up and said ahh in front of a mirror and was like cuz it din't (and I spelled din't on purpose) look right. I set up a teladoc with pics and the doctor was like you got the strep throat but take a covid test just in case. My covid results just came back negative and after 1 day of antibiotics my throat looks clear but I gotta take it for the full 10 days.
Whew....That was close!Ya'll I thought they got me. This weekend my throat felt weird and Monday I woke up feeling like I swallowed something that stuck in my throat.

It's so hard to be on these calls with everyone laughing about catching COVID and sitting around like oh well it's no big deal when I know how sick I can get from a cold and be down and out for 2 months that I was on a monthly lunch meeting and had to turn my video and mic off because I started crying they're all over here maskless and in each other's face. If I get sick the likelihood is I'm gonna go down hard. I could literally feel my chest burning and the exhaustion from the excessive coughing. I’d be afraid to go to sleep at times. They can’t do anything for you but give you prednisone some inhalers and a breathing treatment. I learned that ginger tea helps a little but you have to ride it out for two or so months. The constant prednisone fueled a cataract that I had to have surgery on at 39. Thinking about people who straight up died- This is extremely traumatic. I have a father with low vision that needs my support- I'm more at risk than anyone in my family. All this for some damn happy hour drinks in the office. I feel like quitting.
That sentiment needs to be continually repeated. Good judgment may be hanging on by a thread but many people are still doing everything in their power to be responsible and avoid illness during this time.
