Y'all are all gonna be crying when we have to forfeit a football game because of positives on the team. I know with 80% vaccinated you don't need to test all the time. But you better believe they will be testing some. They aren't going to let them play if they test positive, even if they're vaccinated. The unvaccinated are driving this vehicle right and they're driving reckless. I want this to be over just as much as anyone. The best way to get over this is to get everyone vaccinated.

No, the best way to get over this is for everyone to accept that life is full of risks and COVID is not going away. We need to learn to live with it and go about our lives like we were living in 2019. There is no need to continue to test athletes who are of little risk. Out of all of the athletes who tested positive last season, how many died or ended up in the hospital? Most of them probably would never have known they had it had it not been from the mandatory tests.

You continuing to try to place blame on unvaccinated people is only further fueling the flames for the vaccinated vs. unvaccinated divide that is growing. Unvaccinated people are not your enemy nor are they willfully trying to harm/kill you or others. Just because people don't make the same decisions you do doesn't mean they're bad people. You're only blaming them because they're the easy target for the lazy.

All the government (both sides of the aisle) had to do was to be honest with the American people, but they couldn't, which has put us on the path we're currently on that will eventually come to a very bad end. Instead, they've distorted the truth from the start and have used it to pin regular citizens against each other. They've done it by making masking/vaccination a noble thing as if you're some kind of superhero out there saving the world. The choice you've made on what you feel is best for you isn't noble, it's what you're supposed to do.

Explain vaccinated Texas Dems who spread the disease.

Explain CDC saying that vaccinated and unvaccinated are EQUALLY likely to spread the disease.

If you are vaccinated, you are safe from serious symptoms.

If you are not vaccinated, you are at a slightly elevated risk of serious illness / death. That is a personal choice. Maybe not smart especially for certain demographics but a choice none-the-less.

I would be upset if that happened, because testing all the time is idiotic. Covid isn't a threat to college athletes. Stop trying to blame idiotic policies on people's choices about emergency use vaccines.

A. Couldn't care less if a game get cancelled due to idiotic policies
2. Why wouldn't you blame the people coming up with the policies?
And last. You yourself have said your daughter did everything she could not to catch it, still caught it, and is slightly congested.

Based on your daughter's experience with Covid would it really be worth cancelling a football game over it?

The OP of the thread said he had a light cough and felt like a weak flu. Doesn't seem like anything to cancel a game over.

As long as we continue to test people with no symptoms or very minor symptoms we will continue to give power to the people that want to rule us. It's idiotic.

You are choosing to quarantine. You don't have to do anything. This isn't North Korea.

Man, I don't get what is wrong with some people. I don't care if it's Covid or the Flu or a stomach virus. A reasonable thing to do is stay home and keep other people from getting sick. Sad that you actually criticize someone for thinking about others.

Never could stand the people that came into work sick acting like they were heroes because they came in sick when in reality they just came in and got everyone else ill.

---

So on day 3 OP has admitted that he will reintigrate with his family once he feels better, which seems to mean he will forego the 10 day quarantine. Is there something wrong with him for doing that? Because based on your response to me on page 1 you seem to think if he is a decent person he will quarantine for 10 days.

Right? If they are so unconcerned about Covid, why hang out on this board demeaning other perspectives? I never have understood why arguing is a pass time for some. I suppose it gives those in their lives a bit a break.

So do you think this board should only be one perspective? No discussion, no disagreement at all? That would be a strange reason for a discussion board.

I think it is great to see different perspectives. Heck, we even have doctors disagreeing with each other on this board, and that is how it should be. Discussion is good.

Also, the attacks on the politics board are strange and stupid. I hate to break this to you but there are more doctor badges hanging out on that board than this board these days.

Demeaning other perspectives? You literally have someone on this thread blaming unvaccinated co-workers for his adult daughter getting COVID while simultaneously setting up unvaccinated individuals to take the blame for any cancelled football game this upcoming season. What has happened is staff, to their credit, has allowed dissenting opinions on COVID to now be a part of the discussions on this board.

no kidding

Over a Century ago the smallpox vaccines were mandated, fines upheld by SCOTUS, and vaccines were distributed door to door.

30% fatality rate versus like .03% for Covid. Also based on what I read there was a $5 fine (like $150 today) for not getting the vaccine. And only in isolated areas. I'm not seeing anything about mandated vaccines being issued door to door.

If Biden's dumb enough to try that then I hope his vaccine enforcers have life insurance.

I'm not entirely sure I know what a blamestormer is but I would think the guy trying to blame a potentially cancelled football game on a group of people that won't get a shot would qualify.

I think both sides can be correct on this. By the percentages fatality is low. But even a small percentage of a large number can be pretty big.

Yeah it's a bad cold or flu for the vast majority but we had a doc talking about their hospital diverting ambulances to other facilities.

Yeah it's not bad for the majority (vast) but the ordeal has led to a national shortage of nurses, docs and other personnel in hospitals.

Yeah it can kill kids (not very likely at all) so we shut down schools putting kids permanently behindthe amount behind is directly tied to ecodis at scale. We wi be dealing with the outcome of this for decades.

My point is that both sides are right and both sides are wrong because there is No perfect answer. Opening up will cost lives but not opening up will destroy arguably more.

I'm the OP. So far, on day 3, this has been like a mild flu. Feeling better today than yesterday. So far, none of my contacts are sick, but work will require them to get tested Sunday. Still quarantined from family, but will probably re-integrate as I feel better. Have to stay home from work til next Friday.

---

Hope you feel better soon, Randy. I'm glad you got vaccinated and you so far seem to be having a milder course of the virus.

Sorry that **** changes. If everyone was vaccinated this wouldn't be an issue. Since 40% (to 70% depending on where you live) aren't the people who have been responsible get screwed again.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

If vaccinated people can get infected and spread it, even if you've been "responsible" and been vaccinated and been around nothing but vaccinated people who have been around nothing but vaccinated people you can still get the freaking virus.

It's really not that difficult to understand. May try a little harder?

Of course life is full of risks. But we also do things to minimize risk like wearing seatbelts. I am in my early 30s and healthy. I think I had asymptomatic covid last year because I know I was exposed multiple times. I still got vaccinated so i would be less likely to spread it, and contribute to herd immunity. I think most people know the athletes have very little risk of serious illness.

Wellllllllllll... you may not like this but the unvaccinated do bear blame here. Had everyone gotten vaccinated when they became publicly available we wouldnt be where we are now. Now ICUs are filling up again and this is pretty much becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated considering they are the only ones getting seriously sick and dying now.

I would have a live and let live attitude but all of their reasons for not getting vaccinated are pretty much anti-vax BS not rooted in reality. They say covid is no big deal but the vaccines are dangerous. Just totally backwards logic. And then we have people like Tucker Carlson who have gotten vaccinated but is persuading his audience of millions to distrust the scientists and not get vaccinated.... for ratings. How can we not be irritated by that?

I'm not worried covid will kill or even hurt me. The OP is proof that vaccines protect you from serious illness. But yes I am bothered by the fact that the delta variant has become a huge problem. And the high numbers in states with large unvaccinated populations like Florida and Arkansas prove what we've been saying all along.

Yes but the odds of getting the virus are substantially lower. Like all viruses a portion of your immunity comes from your exposures from society which is a collective of everybody elses immunity. If everyone was vaccinated, you could still catch covid, sure, but the chances you get exposed to it are much lower than what we currently have happening. If society has a higher collective immunity from vaccination, infections would be happening slower, hospitalizations and deaths would be much lower, and the peak of cases would likely happen sooner and get a couple orders of magnitude fewer people sick in the process. This is where responsible people are exposed to the decisions of the irresponsible hyper partisan pretend-it-isn't-happening F16 crowd. I get it, you all love to talk a big game on an anonymous forum on the internet.

Let's dive in, shall we?
