I will continue to wash my hands, like I always have, stay at home when I am sick, like I always have, and if I have to go out when I am sick I will wear my mask.
I will not live my life in fear of getting sick, without getting sick our bodies don’t learn how to defend themselves, then when we do get sick it’s worse than it ever would have been had we built up a normal immune system by catching small things like colds, while also allowing us to learn how to function when we are sick.
When I did get Rona, which was my fault, I put off getting my second booster, it sucked, but even though I felt like shit, through experience in actually being sick, I was still able to take car of two under 10 year old children, one of whom’s nose I actually had to bandage from a dog bite the day before I tested positive.
So yeah, I think my system is working fine.
Knowing this can You change or will you continue to put yourself and others at risk?
You can not live your life in fear friend.
Otherwise you will end up just like the people who are so afraid of everything in life that they carry a pistol everywhere.
Thank you for your reply. I really like the ‘small nature’ of the Fediverse at this point in time. One small mistake. I never said, and you inferred of your own that I live in fear. One way of looking at it, is that one can move towards what one wants (preference), or move away from what one doesn’t want (aversion). Do you live in fear of dehydration? Or do you just get some water when you’re thirsty? I prefer to be healthy, life is a lot more fun that way. And I can keep up with my consensual obligations. I’m always refining my approach to staying healthy in the first place. Exercise ( I love to move my body), good diet (healthy, delicious food is such a wonderful thing), a supportive social network (gotta have my dear ones), adequate rest (zomg! sleep! perchance to dream…) are the ‘lions share’ of my approach. I’m glad your system is “working fine”. Bully for you! If you were interested, I think you might really benefit from learning a little more deeply about immunology. Dr. Brianne Barker at Drew University explains this topic in a very accessible fashion - a quick search of brianne barker immunology, would yield some useful lectures. Her website (https://bbarkerdrew.com/immunology-course/). I first came across her from TWiV, which is also quite fascinating and informative. Follow the science, it really is quite fascinating.
I’ll tell you what.
