This is such an ignorant double standard. We know for a fact that vaccinated people can still spread covid. The odds of giving someone covid and them dying are really low. With vaccines, slightly lower.sdoyel wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 1:38 pm Here’s why I am not okay with being tested on a regular basis:
Because I have done my civic duty as an American and gotten vaccinated.
My risk to society as a vaccinated person is extremely low in comparison to someone who isn’t vaccinated.
In general, I am okay with being around others who are vaccinated because not only is the risk lessened further, I trust they probably take similar precautions as me.
Am I comfortable hanging out with someone who isn’t vaccinated? No. No I am not. Because this person is 5x as likely to have Covid… The unvaxed “my freedom” folks also don’t take the precautions as vaccinated people like myself do. So in short, stay the fuck away from me.
Why is this so hard for you to understand Illy? JFC man.

But if I tell you there is a 99 percent chance something isn't going to happen, or i tell you there is a 99.9 percent chance it isn't going to happen, there really isn't much difference.
You should be either for testing or against it. Making different rules for different people is just divisive and stems from your political beliefs, nothing more

You really don't get it. I'd explain it to you, but you refuse to listen. Just know that what you're saying isn't correct. at all.
We're nearing a million deaths in the US right now from Covid19. If a vaccine had been around the entire time that number would be in the tens of thousands. And that's without accounting for the reduction in the number of infections.
If you think 40,000 is the the same as 1,000,000 I can't even reason with you.
You 100% can't be infected with the virus from a person who doesn't have the virus. It's science.

It's not an OK/Not OK decision. Calling that is solely to try to win an argument with a simpleton response. Choosing to leave your house to interact in society is a decision based on how much risk are you willing to accept. I personally would like to reduce the amount of risk of exposure as much as possible, knowing that the only way to reduce it to zero (no one in the house ever leaves the house) has it's own negative consequences. But you've been told this same thing a thousand times already.
I teach biology classes to college students. I'm usually satisfied with their HS training/preparedness. The lone exception is math.

My theory is that once you reach a person's maximum comprehension level, everything beyond that becomes the same size. It's like the "if you can smell a fart through your mask then your mask is useless against saliva droplets containing covid" argument. Some people just cannot wrap their brain around the difference in various particle sizes.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 2:30 pmI have this theory that a big reason why so many people can't comprehend the vast difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is how closely they are in spelling.PhDhawk wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 2:20 pmA.

But we're seeing it here.
A greater than 10-fold increase is now "not much difference"
My employer would have to fire a huge amount of employees to afford regular testing. I'll settle for utilizing the options (not requiring us to come in at all if we don't want, work issued laptops for easier WAH, licensing of Zoom, Microsoft Teams and other tools to better collaborate remotely, redesigned workspaces in the office to spread us out) and enjoy still having a job.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 2:28 pmYou 100% can't be infected with the virus from a person who doesn't have the virus.
