Get your booster (antibodies from.booster only last 10 weeks) so we can credit the shot for your mild omicron disease.  Over the last month worldwide, only a handful of people have passed from the omicron who were unvaccinated and  vaccinated.

 

Omicron is mild.  Yet most of you think closing the vaxxed pass gyms will have any positive impact. At least our health authority has determined omicron is a mild cold/flu otherwise they would have shut casinos and movie theatres.

 

All you have to do is look at the omicron data worldwide to determine its very mild.  Sad a mass pyschosis of fear has been the flavour of the last year.

People are much more stationary in theatres and casinos.  They're not exerting themselves and moving from station to station.  They're also generally a bit bigger than some of the gyms.

 

I'm not sure you're accurately connecting the dots - the death rates are way down but as the world vaccinates, that's likely a big factor.   It's not magic keeping us alive...or horse feed or bulging biceps.  It's science and medicine that's intervening...but sure, ignore that.

Oh so covid is not airborne and we shouldn't worry about the old unhealthy population catching covid in the casino (people constantly move around to the next slot machine). Tam's travel ban of South Africa would stop omicron was complete failure.

There's some personal responsibility involved here.  Old unhealthy folks should be:  fully vax'd/boostered and, if immune compromised, likely avoid those places.   

 

What is your point in all of this?  If you don't believe in any of what science and medicine prescribe, go off and do your thing.  But instead you're wasting your time indoors, arguing with people who choose to be cautious with a "novel coronavirus" that hasn't quite run its course yet?  

 

Sure ok, we'll trust you as the expert instead.  What are your qualifications again?

Our vulnerable people who are getting boosted are the one's ending up in the hospital now (not a young healthy vaxxed gym user). Yet your ok with them catching covid at the casino.   Boosters don't make an unhealthy senior bulletproof to covid.  We can only hope for the virus to get milder.

 

Two years into this and we're barely ahead of March 2020.

Yet your ok with them catching covid at the casino.   Sad you believe the boosters makes an unhealthy senior bulletproof but I guess the media helped you believe your ignorance.  You probably also believe we can get to.covid zero which will never happen.  We can only hope for the virus to get milder.

 

Should i trust your opinion that teresa tam did a good job of keeping out omicron with her failed travel ban? 

 

Two years into this and we're barely ahead of March 2020.  It's sad anytime anyone has a different opinion than fear mongerers that they get asked what's your medical background.  I guess questioning officials who have put us in this place is unacceptable.

 

Nothing put us in this place except a virus that doesn't care if you're tired of living like this or not.  Stop looking to blame people who are just trying to protect people.

I'm not going to bother because you just make stuff up to fit your agenda, as shown here.

 

You have no idea what I believe so don't you dare put your spin on my "beliefs".  Hell no you don't.

I have hard time believing that when casinos, churches, crammed boxing day malls are open; while pretending to do something by closing gyms.

Seniors with boosters are catching covid and some are even dying.

There are measured responses and they're trying to avoid total shutdowns.  That depends, a lot, on how we respond and then how Omicron does.  There's a correlation here.

 

Gyms include high intensity, sweaty bodies all exerting themselves ... often in closed proximity.  Shared equipment.  Etc.

 

You know, most smart people know they can work out at home...you don't have to have a gym to stay fit.  There are other options.  

 

It isn't "all or nothing" .... we have to resume some sense of normalcy but data is used to determine what we can/can't do.  Hopefully it's enough...if not, then further shutdowns will follow.

There are other options to shop, go to church and gamble so that's a poor argument to pick on gyms.  You know they share slot machines at the casino?

How is that possible?

 

You said omicron was only a cold.  Colds don't kill people.

 

Unless... you're admitting covid is infact a serious health threat.

 

The 27.8 unvaccinated to 1.3 vaccinated ratio of hospitalized people disagree with you about the efficacy of the vaccine though

You called me ignorant from my first post.  Well just agree to disagree

I'm genuinely curious about your motivations. Its clearly not to educate, your one-liner thoughts are easily dismissed. So what is it? you get off making fun of sick people?
