I'm just now getting cleared to go back to work from my bout with it. Tired and achy for a couple days but not really any worse than my annual cold. The hardest part for me is adjusting to the loss of smell and taste...

Regarding the mask thing, I wear mine in the hospital when I have patient contact, but otherwise I don't. My coworkers are the same and we don't wear a mask in the hospital unless a patient (or our boss) is nearby. I'm somewhat ambivalent about it. I don't live in one of the commie states that makes an issue of it. I think a private business can ask customers to wear it if they want, and I can choose to either go there or not. I have choices. I don't really go out that often, so it's not like I'm having to change behavior. Do they work or not? I really don't care either way.
What I do find puzzling though is the number of people I know that rant about the government and masks, but also ask the government for permission and pay for the ability to exercise an actual constitutional right. To me, a CC permit is far more of a government intrusion than the mask, and I refuse to to get permission to carry, even though I do carry whenever I want. I guess we all draw lines somewhere.
As a hospital worker who sees COVID patients every day, I'm not particularly worried about it for myself and really don't go out of my way to avoid it. I'm not old, overweight, diabetic, with multiple other risk factors, so even if I do get it the chances of it being severe are minimal (although not zero).

The hospital workers that were more susceptible to it have gotten it and either died or gotten better. The rest of us seem to be like everyone else and not so much an issue. Time and perspective are something. My hospital currently has more COVID patients in it now than then, so it's not like it's gotten better for those dying of it, we just understand it a little better now. It's still a big deal for those that do die of it, is it not? But as I said before, I still don't recall any healthcare worker I knew at any place I've worked getting influenza from a patient and dying, and that's not the case for COVID. That hasn't changed. The military did set up field hospitals, right? Don't think that was at my insistence. People were [bleep] the bed over ventilators, right? Again, wasn't at my insistence. We currently have more vented patients than normal, so that seems to still be going on too. Just less hype. But hey, maybe it is all made up and not real as some say...

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I'm just now getting cleared to go back to work from my bout with it. Tired and achy for a couple days but not really any worse than my annual cold. The hardest part for me is adjusting to the loss of smell and taste... toad! Where you been buddy? A divorce, a move to the country, and unplug for a while to keep from getting sucked into all of the politics.

No..... I argued for hours with Kodiakisland..... now he sounds like me back then..... hmmmmmm Odd, wouldn't call 4 or 5 posts arguing for hours, but OK. Anyway, All I did whenever we discussed this back in March and April was tell you what was going on at the hospital I worked at and with the coworkers I know. That hasn't changed. And mostly the context was the difference in H1N1 vs. COVID at the operational level. I've never been an alarmist over COVID, but also haven't denied it's existence. Patient's in hospitals aren't lying. I haven't ever said everyone should wear a mask or stay home. I don't know what gives you the impression I care enough about others to go out of my way to ensure their safety. Maybe it was one of those heated arguments I have with the wife I never knew I was in. Thanks Kodiak for the info, always good to hear first hand accounts Then, six months later...

Neighbor it’s on week four and is home with double pneumonia. I spoke to him today and it’s kicking his ass. Goes from the bedroom to bathroom and he’s out of breath. At 63 he is feeling it. He is the custodian at a local PD/FD and some did not wear a mask. The deputy chief, a friend and his wife and daughter got it. At home recuperating.
Affects everyone differently.
