That's one way to interpret the data. Another interpretation is that at this point, people are ignoring restrictions. That seems more likely to me, but I don't have anything concrete to back up that thought other than the obvious question of, if people were actually isolating, how would the virus be spreading?

Even with omicron spreading and people growing lax about precautions, I'm still gonna do my duty as I see it. Every person I don't infect is the potential start of a long chain that could impact large numbers of people and have untold effects on their health. And the more the virus spreads, the higher the chance a new variant will show up to fuck us over even worse. I'm gonna do my part to prevent that, however small a part that is.

Further, there's not enough data on the long-term impacts of Covid, even when a case isn't bad enough to put you in the hospital. Shit wrecks your insides in a way that the flu doesn't.

I have loosened up in the past year. I don't get groceries delivered anymore, and I am seeing friends in limited settings. But if I tested positive, I'd stay home for 10 days just to be safe.

All fair points to be honest. If everyone is going to get it that doesnt mean I have to be the one to give it to them is something Ive thought about in the last 24 hours.
