DU Poll: Is it time we accept Covid is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives

[Dorian Gray]

44. But that's the thing

we aren't willing to die or kill off our neighbors. I'm vaccinated, I'm boosted, I wear KN94 masks in public, and I test before spending time with friends unmasked. But with declining cases, I am not willing NOT to see my friends or family.

I meant what I said in another answer. I think "moving on" means different things to different people. As someone who cancelled travel plans over the holidays and didn't see family, yes... I'm going to travel and see family now that we are 90% lower in cases in NYC than we were at our peak. I'm doing the same stuff I was doing in October.

But I am NOT killing anybody. I am not participating in genocide. I'm using precautions so that I can go out and live.

So when people say things like "Why are you in a rush to kill people"... honestly, I kind of roll my eyes. Nobody on this board is in a rush to watch their loved ones choke to death bc of covid. Nobody here thinks it's a hoax.
