That's why we wear masks, because we're supposed to assume we have it even if we don't. Let's just begin with the statement, "When I started becoming sick, I was very careful not to contribute to the spread." Time and again, public health authorities have pointed out that you can be asymptomatic for 10-14 days. I have had it and it was just an illness and I am back on with life just like it never happened other than having to bicker with you about it. I caught it, I figured I would at some point just like most others are going to before it is over with. I am just simply not going to do it and when I am out and about, I have noticed I am in the majority. However, you nor anyone else is going to tell me when or where I can go or force me to wear a mask. While I was sick, although I felt terrible, I could have gotten out and gone shopping but I didn't because I didn't want to contribute to the spread. The scary part for you would be to know that I would have been capable of doing so though. It isn't like I got sick and then ran around walmart breathing on everyone or something. I avoided people in general until I was not contagious. I didn't go visit anyone that might be high risk for 3 weeks. What you don't know is when I started becoming sick, I was very careful not to contribute to the spread. When you say I have a cavalier attitude, you are basing that off of one or two posts that you don't personally care for so you lash out.
If you are high risk, you have to be concerned about other viruses and illnesses as well.
It isn't that bad unless you are high risk. The majority of us have no reason to be overly concerned about Covid 19. They couldn't work, couldn't provide for their families, got behind on bills and will most likely struggle to catch up for the next year. The shutdown did not affect me at all luckily but I know plenty who struggled and still are struggling. My problem is people wanting to dictate what the rest of us do and would just assume destroy people financial lives by shutting everything down. I can appreciate that so I hope you don't think that I don't care. You are in the high risk group and you need to be concerned.
