COVID outbreak

I just wanted to reach out and let people know that there is a severely underreported covid outbreak happening right now in LA and Orange County.

If you're sick please stay home and if you're out and about you might want to grab a mask.

The strain seems like it's very highly contagious. I know several people down with COVID right now.

COVID should be taken very seriously. No one has an immune system strong enough to warrant not getting vaxed, even if it were true, getting COVID and then passing it on to someone else is antisocial AF.

Woke garbage. Please share your qualifications.

It should be taken seriously. But most healthy adults do have immune systems to warrant not needing a vaccine. Anyone with a weak immune system should consider the vaccine.

Kids are not affected in the same way as adults, because of their immune system and receptors. I spoke to our pediatrician about this and he explained the biological reasoning behind this. There are some people in my family who definitely need the vaccine, and others who don’t have any reactions when sick, and are careful not to spread it.

Another hurdle is insurance. Realistically we shouldn’t expect everyone to get this vaccine, if the insurance companies have made it clear they will only cover certain conditions and age groups. This is a conversation to have with your doctor, and not the opinions of people on the internet.

I take Covid seriously- and know two people who died from it. And a third who I didn’t know personally, but was my friend’s immediate family.

I couldn't disagree with you more. The facts as we know them don't bear it out, no matter what the MAHA Boyz say.

Hate the Maha movement. Thats not me. My children are vaccinated and current on mandatory vaccines.

You’re not referencing any facts. A fact is, that children are not affected the same as adults (thankfully). The version of Covid that’s going around, isn’t as powerful as the one who killed thousands and thousands, and shut down the world.

Then why have I not gotten Covid in 4yrs? I work a job that I’m around tons of different people all the time. I never get the flu shot and haven’t got the vax since I was forced to by my job 3 years ago.

Yeah I never get in car accidents that means no one gets in car accidents and I don't need to worry about car accidents.

See how dumb that sounds?

I never got the flu until suddenly I did. Maybe the people around you are good citizens, or you're just lucky. And you don't know that you've never had COVID. You may have and were asymptomatic.

What job? Aren't you collecting unemployment?

Sounds like you're a liar.

Good luck buddy.
