@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz Immunocompromised people are not Sheldon and Covid is not household germs.

You're downplaying a virus that is claiming lives like a bad flu or worse, plus spreading more effectively, plus lowering people's immune defenses, plus giving people long covid.

I'm lucky to have no long-term consequences after two infections, while being careful, while in a city where people are careful, but each time is a roll of the dice.

I'm sorry, but your position is not a good look here.

I understand why my city is lowering its defenses. It's fatigue and it's adaptation to an international economy where everyone else lowered their defenses.

If we didn't gave the last three years of history and the current strains were hitting the city right now, in the current numbers, the city would be closing its schools like it did in 2020 and like it did in 2018 when 100 people died of the seasonal flu.

The only difference between now and 2018 is that now is worse and that ironically is why the regulatory response is weaker.
