Whatever. I don't even pay attention anymore.
Ditto.
Shockingly there is so much more bigger, serious things going on in my life than Covid. I wouldn't even have the energy to care.

Omicron - just in time for the holidays
This is why i avoid the news. I just don't care to watch the constant fear mongering. What they need to do is redefine this vaccine. It is not a vaccine. It will not prevent you from getting it, it is only a treatment to lessen your symptoms. But you can still get it and spread it. So if they start saying that instead of forcing people into the imaginary land that the vaccine will make Covid disappear then maybe people will be more accepting of it.

It’s crazy the fear mongering and the messaging.

The variant concerns me. I have watched several people die from CoVid and it's left an impression on me.

Did Delta concern you too? Do you think we should have locked down for that one?
They don't even think this one is bad and there are no cases in the U.S. right now.

Re: Omicron - just in time for the holidays
It's not just getting it either...how will it affect the world? Inflation? Supply chain? Even if the US backs off and feels the variant is noting; that doesn't mean the rest of the world will think the same. That creates more insecurities around food, housing, healthcare.

Yes, the Delta variant did concern me but the time of year was different. It was going in to the warmer months.
I'm not sure how you get lockdowns from me being concerned??? Did the US lockdown with Delta because I feel that the US continued to lift restrictions?

No it didn't that was my point as this variant is supposedly not as bad as Delta and we didn't lock down, no matter what time of year it was.

Since you don't live in NY anymore, you might not know that they have been talking about more mandates because of this variant. A variant that is said to not be too bad and that hasn't even gotten to the U.S. yet.

What was your point? That we didn't have lockdowns with Delta?
Timing does have something to do with it. Warmer months allow for more space since you can utilize outdoor spaces more effectively and enjoyably.
The post asked about being concerns and I am. Not sure why you are bringing in lockdowns as my concerns don't tell you my feelings on lockdowns

No one is taking about any new mandates. NYS Governor declared a state of emergency based on the variant which is being done to acquire pandemic-fighting supplies, increase hospital capacity and fight potential staffing shortages. It would also allow the state Health Department to limit non-essential and non-urgent procedures at hospitals. It's a proactive stance since NYC is a hub for international travel and was ground zero at the start. It's not new mandates.

I am sure if ONE case is found in NY, the mandates could start happening. Deblasio is already "urging" people to wear masks indoors.

I asked if she was as concerned with Delta, that seemed to be much worse than this. The mandate discussion was because they are talking about it more than they did with the Delta.

It was a discussion about if some of us were concerned and I am. You brought up Delta and lockdowns and then turned it to mandates.
You seem to be surprised that I am concerned about the variant when Delta was much worse.
However, unlike you, I don't work from home and have to deal with the public. Public that thinks nothing of coming in for appointments when they have a sick relative at home that just got there a couple of days ago from a flight from out of town. They think nothing of coming to my office and sitting there unmasked and unvaccinated because it's "just a flu". So my concerns and my reactions to mandates might be different because my risk is different then yours.

I am concerned about contracting CoVid..yes. Not sure how much clearer a "yes, I am concerned" can be. Even when you state that the Delta variant was much worse - that is where you are getting tripped up because I was not clear that those were your words; not mine.
I have worked in the public throughout this pandemic. I have never worked from home...even a little bit. I also watched my coworker die horrifically from CoVid. I don't care about your social life. You do you. Stop trying to "whatabout" with my statement of concern.

Omicron - just in time for the holidays
There will be variants forever. Just like the flu. It is never going away so we just need to do whatever we think personally we need to do to stay healthy and that's it.
The new Governor is nuts. She is panicking over this variant and it isn't even here yet. I thought I read something that she cancelled all elective surgeries until after January, just incase they need the hospital beds. Crazy.

She gave hospitals the option to cancel all elective surgeries if they get too full by declaring the state of emergency.
There will be variants - it just feels defeating that it's still here and we're still restricted.
I did see an article today on MSM about how there is vaccine inequity across the world - I'm glad it was highlighted as it does seem to be an issue.

It is ridiculous as they are saying that this is really not as bad. ALL.CONTROL. and some just don't see this.

Omicron - just in time for the holidays
There is no proof yet whether this will be as bad as Delta or not. If what people are talking about is the South African doctor who discovered the variant talking about the mild symptoms he has seen, He does also point out that many of these people were unvaccinated and that they were also younger so by default younger people and healthier people have milder illness. It will take another couple of weeks to know the full effects of this variant. Again, I am not concerned. But one doctor saying that he noticed milder symptoms does not mean mean it is definitely a milder form of the virus. If people want to be concerned that is their right as we don't know anyone's previous health history or who they may have seen suffer and die from this virus. I think if people want to preach that everyone should mind their own business and only worry about themselves and their families, That needs to go both ways. One can't say that nobody should question why they haven't gotten vaccinated or questioned why they don't wear a mask but yet those same people will question somebody who is concerned to death. And if someone wants to believe the so called fear mongering going on in the media? Knock yourself out. That doesn't make one ounce of difference in my life. It's odd to me how people get so worked up over others and whether or not they listen to the media. Who cares??
