Do you allow covid unvaccinated people in your home yet?

Fear monger much??? I'm not going to live my life in fear of a flu virus. I am going to live my life to the fullest with the time I have left. Everyone that enters my home or goes anywhere with us knows how we feel. It is up to them whether or not to be around us.

I've had my house re-piped, electrical repairs, 2 new air conditioners, & a new roof. I told everyone in all the crews, "I don't care who wears a mask & who doesn't, or who's vaccinated & who isn't. I'll wear a mask if you want me to, but I'm not vaccinated."

The plumbing contractors said it was their company policy to wear masks, so they did. The electricians did not. The roofers did not & they were here the longest; the job took 2 weeks.

I had an eye exam yesterday. No masks.
 
The only people that have a “must wear a mask policy” that I have been in contact with has been my doctor’s office. The hospitals also do, but I haven’t had a need to go there. Even my dentist doesn’t require a mask and that’s a huge office with 3 dentists and many dental techs.

I'm seeing a mixture of masked and no masked people in my everyday dealings. What I'm not seeing is any militant behavior. Everyone seems pretty laid-back about the mask wearing. I'm never asked by individuals if I am vaxed or not. The only entity that required a vaccine passport was the Birkshire Hathaway annual meeting in Omaha. We turned around and left.

People are wising up & it's about time.
 
Has anybody else here notice that you have to confirm your like thingy icons or whatever those reaction thingy things are? I never saw this before. Please respond soon as lives are at stake.
 
My CR-V has been running a little rough sporadically, especially during moderate acceleration. Yesterday, I took it to a dealer to have them look at it. They assigned me an "associate," I think they called him. He wasn't wearing a facemask and spoke to me fairly closely — like right in my face, I guess because it was noisy there. I was wearing a facemask, which actually protects him more than me.

So this "associate" was at high risk since he's in close contact with a lot of people all day, and he's probably about my age, or at least that's how old he looked. Maybe he was in his 50s since he was still working, or maybe he just liked the work. He seemed like a people-person.

But I didn't appreciate being put at risk. I don't want to get covid — even a mild case. Naturally, they wanted me to leave my car with them but I thought they could at least diagnose it while I was there. So I left with my car, having wasted about an hour and a half of my day.

I checked for other garages closer to me and found one that requires everyone to wear a mask. They also provide transportation for when you have to leave your vehicle. I'm going to give them a try next week.
 
As long as I'm vaccinated, I could care less if anyone else is.

My impression of the whole vaccination thing is that it helps prevent serious outcomes should you get Covid. Has little or nothing to do with whether you can get Covid or pass it on so why would I care if an unvaccinated person is near me. I protect me the way I think I should. Others can make their own decisions - none of my business.

If someone knows they have Covid then yes, I think they should take appropriate precautions to protect others. Isolate yourself for a while as best you can and if you do have to go out, wear a mask to limit your chance of spreading it to others. Let common sense be your guide!

That's the most intelligent answer to this never-ending discussion that I've seen yet on this forum. As many times as we have repeated that the vaccine does not protect anyone from GETTING Covid, it seems to be very effective in protecting people from DYING of it, or GETTING VERY SICK from it. (Maybe if it's written in capital letters, people will see what has been repeated zillions of times already?)

Many of my friends, relatives, and business acquaintances have it, or have had it. There is a surge of it in my building. My doctor and his nurse have both had it. All of these people are vaccinated, and all have said the same thing: it's unpleasant, it can drag on, it's like a bad cold or case of the flu. But they were not deathly sick, and none of them had to go to a hospital. They just stayed home and rested for as long as it took. And yet, the anti-vaxxers are still barking into the wind about how useless the vaccine is. Do they really not understand the difference between a sore throat for a few days, and gasping for breath on a respirator in an ICU and ending up dying?

I've come to the conclusion that they are just trolling. They want to argue; they are not interested in the truth. I hope no one was naive enough to have lost their life because of them.
 
The only ones who come into our house are the family members. Most of them have been vaccinated...one Granddaughter has an allergy condition to Gluten, and her doctor advised against getting Any shots. Since this pandemic hit, we minimize the hugging, etc., and so far, we're all doing ok.

Yes, posting in caps makes it true. And, in conversation, talking louder also makes it true. :ROFLMAO:
 
Win nobody said anything about capital letters making anything true. It just makes the statement more noticeable, for those who are visually impaired (or reading impaired?) But you knew that. You seem to be desperately fishing around for something that will keep the argument going. 😆

Person #1: All the experts in this field are saying that the vaccine doesn't necessarily keep you from getting the disease. But it is obviously very effective in keeping you from dying of it. If you get the disease in spite of being vaccinated, it is likely to be more like a case of flu, or even milder than that.

Person #2: Oh, yeah? Well, I just read that (famous movie star, politician, scientist, etc.) was vaccinated, and they got it anyway!

Anything wrong with Person #2's logic?

Why anyone would purposely get injected with well known toxic substances, supposedly to keep from getting sick, is one of the most stupid ideas that I've seen, akin to jumping off cliffs in order to protect yourself from gravity.

No, it doesn't work that way. When you do things that make you sick, you get sick.

I never get any shots, never got any of the clot shots, don't wear a mask, I go anywhere that I want to, exercise for an hour or two every day, get up at sunrise every morning, and I haven't been sick.

Logic 101.

Yes, and I wish more people were appreciative of that instead of getting their freedom-backs all up in a arch. I had a really nasty flu>bronchitis>pneumonia thing last fall and wore my mask everywhere for the sake of others. It was really bad form of the associate to get close to you without one after he saw you wearing one. It tells people either you're at high risk or you are sick.

My son works with customers all day and always wears a mask, he is fully vaccinated.

We had a dozen or more workmen in here after a big burst pipe event and they all wore masks. I wear a mask to answer the door when strangers come and they always see it and pull out their masks.

I haven't had any friends or relatives come who aren't vaccinated. My book club meets and all 15 of us sit close, but we are all vaccinated.

My brother and sister-in-law are fully vaccinated and they both got Covid a few weeks ago. She was sick for a few days and his lasted a little longer but neither got terribly sick. He's 77 so without the vaccine it might have
been really bad. The vaccine saves lives, there's no doubt in my mind.

It could be that you caught some kind of disease and the tendency to get up early and exercise every day are the symptoms. 🤣
