If you haven't had COVID yet, does that mean you're a hermit/recluse/shut-in?

My son had it, symptomatic to the tune of a moderately bad cold. He stayed home for 5 days. We ate together as a family played cards went for a drive in the car, cared for him, all without masks. My wife and his two brothers are fine. I went on a dozen long-range fishing trips in the last two years. Everybody eating together in a crowded galley and sleeping in the tight bunk rooms with no masks.
I am bummed I never go it because people will misunderstand that I didn't try hard enough.

havent had it yet, but my sister and brother in law and their kids all had it during thanksgiving and i never got sick. all my coworkers have had it, one guy is now out for the 3rd time (right after his latest booster go figure). all my friends have had it at least once and still i havent gotten it.

some interesting things. my sister and her family non vaxxed and didnt get that sick, some of friends are vaxxed and non vaxxed. my buddies gf has had all the vaccines and boosters and she is constantly sick now

coworkers, all have been vaxxed but the ones who have gotten it multiple times have had boosters and are now the sickest they have been.

this is how i look at it, when the europeans brought smallpox to the indians lots of people died but some never got sick at all, or the black plague in europe same thing. i think its natures way of thinning the heard. ive never had the flu either, all i have to deal with is annoying allergies in the spring, which was way worse when i was a kid now its now so bad. pop a Claritin or Benadryl and im good. last time i was sick was thanksgiving 2019, sick as sh*t for 3 days lost 15 lbs, and then it was over....makes me think covid was out before january but who knows

Natural selection, quite a concept.

I’m so envious of Red Staters. I’m about to go take my daughter to a some funday kid stuff and fully expect it to be a hyper-masked hell of ridiculous COVID anxiety.

You guys don’t know how lucky you are to live around reasonable people.

I am teacher and coach in Iowa. I don't wear a mask. I am around hundreds of kids all day. I have ridden on team busses dozens of times. I have flown 4 times since the start of the pandemic. One flight was to Garmjn XC in Huntsville. I have never been tested or vaccinated but I am a very healthy 45 year old.

I never wear a mask.

I have been to five college football games with ~40,000 people in attendance. No mask.

I have been to four college basketball games with ~4,000 people in attendance. I am going to another one today. No mask.

I go out fairly regularly. Bars, restaurants, etc... no mask.

I have not gotten the dreaded virus and I continue to live my life.

Why not? I care about my fellow man. You shouldn't be part of society if you don't care about everyone else.

I have not have had covid yet.

I wear a mask at work and to the store.

No assumption...I have no social life. I'm 47. Why do I need one?

I don't go to bars.

I hate crowds.

Many restaurants use reckless health practices

People in gyms are always coughing

Because Americans are generally unwashed pigs who have stylish clothing as a façade, my tendency to want to socialize with them is practically asymptotic to zero...but it's close to reaching that point.

I still care about you though If every American cared about one another, we could eliminate unemployment and poverty and crime. Please join with the solution.

I haven't knowingly gotten Covid yet, tested negative using a PCR test about a week ago after my mom got sick with it while visiting me around the holidays.

I have traveled stateside throughout the pandemic, but have gotten my vaccine, booster and worn an N95 when I know I'm going into crowded spaces and when my mom started to show symptoms.

Normally, I mostly telework and live by myself but see others in my condo building, who aren't masked ever. When I did have to go into the office one week in August, I got a local health dept alert that I may have been exposed. I didn't take a test then and felt fine.

I am not a shut-in but am cautious. I live my life but at this point I consider myself lucky. I am traveling next month with a friend and hope the Omicron has started to subside by then.
