My husband's granddaughter will be visiting us and many relatives and friends at the end of August. She will be traveling from Israel. We have not seen her in many years. My husband is in early stages of dementia. I have been keeping us safe from covid so far and all I ask is that she get tested before visiting. My step daughter and their whole family did have covid already and are all vaccinated. They say it is just like having a cold. But I do not want to get this virus and nor do I want my husband to get it. I have taken precautions and still do. Should I be concerned because I am freaking out over this. Thank you.
The people who did not wear masks, did not vaccinate, did not care to care for the wellbeing of others have helped immeasurably to keep COVID going far longer than it should have.
We have COVID as a direct result of the carelessness of those who do not care for others. This is not "like a cold", it is a bit more persistent and draining. But, at least I'm not in a hospital ward, I have been vaccinated, have a booster too. I'll get better. My husband has dementia and now COVID-you tell me how well that's going here. As far as connecting with family members, again, it's caring to make sure everyone is safe, be considerate, kind, understanding, this is a once in our lifetime event and a lot has changed.
My great grandfather died in the 1918 pandemic in Pittsburgh. I am glad, and proud that hard working, very smart, clever, scientists have helped me through their efforts to keep me alive with a great vaccine (and booster), so that I can care for my husband and maybe tell a few more family stories once everyone is well again....(did I ever tell ya about aunt Trice?...)
It is easy enough to be tested. You don’t have to rely on politics, religion or voodoo.
Everyone gets tested. No exceptions. Masks all around. Enjoy the visit.
People who don’t want to be tested or wear masks don’t really need to visit.
I love them all the same just don’t need to be sick right now thank you.
No need to tempt fate or stand on principles. No hard feelings. Life is stressful enough.
I was vaccinated, wore a mask, all that. I still got it in January. I have asthma so I was a bit freaked out when I tested positive. Because I was vaxxed, it wasn’t too terrible. Tired, lost sense of smell for a week, some coughing but nothing terrible. Was back to normal within two weeks.
Billions in record profits for something that does not prevent illness and has the potential to cause tons of side effects. Some right away and others in the future.
The more boosters the more your odds of autoimmune disease, weakened immune system, stroke, blood clots and yes even death.
If the media was actually doing their jobs (amazing what a bailout from the government buys in terms of silence) they would be reporting on the information released by the vaccine manufacturers that detail the fact that these vaccines don't work to stop covid.
Decades from now the truth about covid, the testing and vaccines will come out. It always does.
After DH had his transplant, he was told NO MORE BOOSTERS; and NO monoclonal antibody treatment either, which Mayo was giving out to ALL of the transplant people. From the lips of the Mayo Clinic. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm. DH has a couple of small pulmonary emboli after his surgeries and the 'vaccines' are known to CAUSE clots, so that may be one reason they're telling him NO to boosters and antibody treatments, they're not saying.
I believe better to be safe than sorry.
Or trying to stir the pot bringing up a topic that causes a bitterly divided reaction. Especially as it seems that OP had decided on what to do BEFORE she posted the "question".
