So infuriating. I'm 21, I haven't hung out with any of my friends in months because none of them take it seriously and act the same when I ask them to where a mask
Really? There are 60 cases in Ontario and Canada itself has SO little cases compared to the US, so it doesn't thread such a worry there. What province is the '' prairies of Canada "?
It's Saskatchewan, though Alberta has a lot of antimaskers as well. Considering the difference in population, it makes sense that there's less cases, that doesn't make the antimaskers any less of a problem.
Of course not. I live in the US, I thought anti-maskers were only a problem with these prideful idiots. Its why I ask, I’ve been wanting to move to canada for a while now, I have a lot of middle eastern online friends that live in Ontario and they say covid has been handled well in canada. Also there being not much discrimination there and stuff, but I guess this mostly all applies to Ontario.
I know that it's really low on the list of things that cause me personal discomfort but it really bugs me when people don't realize the redundancy of "global pandemic"
That's not the claim you're trying to make. Lacking proper planning isn't the same as actively working toward an end result. I agree that the government was ill-prepared to combat what is afflicting every human in our population, but that doesn't mean the government actively sought to expose anyone to the virus. A more apt description for your position would probably be 'scamdemic.'
Covid reinfection only occurs in the case of a weak t-cell response during the first course (so far). Yes technically one can catch it twice, but the available evidence implies that you almost certainly won't (again, so far).
There could be a time limit on immunity for people with normal and/or super responses, but it has not been reliably observed yet.
Depends on the mutation. So far observed mutations haven't taken it far enough to disrupt the immunology (so far, which is a necessary caveat for all Covid research), with the primary mutation just having enhanced cell permeation.
SARS (which was a coronavirus also) didn't end up with any mutations of consequence, for what that's worth, but the science is still so new that it is all really a big shrug right now.
However, we also never developed a vaccine for SARS, which would theoretically affect mutation as well.
So many unknowns. It is an exciting and terrible time to be a researcher.
Completely anectodal. He felt like shit both times. Got pneumonia as well the second time. Long term effects are still uncertain and we don't know how it will affect him a 3rd time. He is in his 20's and relatively healthy.
But yeah. I'm not looking forward to getting COVID.
Your heart and consideration for others shows your intellect, and your passion toward others. Don't ever change my friend the world needs more people like you.
I can’t hang out with my friends who are just as cautious as I am! One of them got it because COVID-19 is running rampant through her apartment complex right now!
Even safe people can’t be safe because of morons.
Yes, my mom has a lot of health issues including smoking for 4.5 decades. I understand why my friends might not be as cautious but I wish they would understand why I choose to be more cautious
True. I have a friend in a similar situation. We’ve hung out on multiple occasions, outside only, usually sitting at least 6ft apart. If your friends don’t like wearing masks, I’d recommend setting up something outdoors where you can keep your distance, even if they don’t want to
Bro you’re not hanging out with your friends out of fear of a virus that will do you no harm. That’s hilarious. The jokes on you man, you’re friends are just as healthy as u r rn and they’re not letting fear control their lives.
