You must be past retirement age for Covid to be a risk factor more than flu is (especially well vaccinated), so it might not be the strongest argument anymore.

You must be past retirement age for Covid to be a risk factor more than flu is (especially well vaccinated), so it might not be the strongest argument anymore. I myself strictly mask up in cases where folks have traveled and have never tested positive, but I don’t think it’ll be easy to convince others that they should take this as seriously as I do.
- sneak 4y agoThat's just risk of death. Risk of other neurological sequelae are high even in those who are young and fully vaccinated. I know many people under 50 who were vaccinated who lost smell or taste for most of a year, or had other cognitive dysfunction for weeks afterward.

Personally, I know many people who weren't vaccinated who have cognitive dysfunction - and unvaccinated people who also experienced death.
- sneak 4y agoOops, I meant people who were vaccinated and then got covid. I just realized that wasn't clear. It wasn't about the vaccine, as much as it was about the fact that covid is still very dangerous, even to the vaccinated.
- gedy 4y agoEven without death, COVID is a serious illness. I haven't been that sick with the flu in like 15-20 years. (This was 2 months ago)
