If you've watched Errant Signal's
last video, you'd see how bad it is to actually listen to the news and CDC. The guy has only seen people TWICE in the entire year, that's not healthy either. He basically wasted a year of his life in essence. You can do basically what you want once you've got vaccinated (wait 2 weeks after the 1st shot) or if you already got infected, the odds of becoming hospitalized or dying afterward is so small that if you're worried about those kind of odds, you would've been living in a bubble before the pandemic because stuff like driving to work is more dangerous. There's no such thing as no risk, you can die from the flu too. It took the CDC until August to say covid spread through the air, that was really old news at that point. The CDC is the last one to the party pretty much every time.
I got infected over a year back now, the very first week stuff started shutting down. I've been doing stuff as normal as possible ever since (after quarantining for 7 days or so), I've actually went to the bar more in the past year than I ever have in my life (pretty much every Friday). I see groups of friends indoors (scary!!!) at least 3 times a week since about a month or so after the pandemic started. Also, my work (IT for hospitals) has me going into patients rooms daily. Guess what? I haven't been sick in over a year now because covid immunity lasts for longer than the 3 months (and now 6 months) that you've probably heard on the news, those scary reinfection stories sure disappeared fast (just like I said months and months ago on this forum). SARS-1 immunity lasts 17 years and counting and covid is a really really really similar virus so chances are very very high for long-term immunity. I can personally vouch for immunity being at least 6 months because I was playing board games with a guy for a whole Sunday and he got sick the next day and tested positive (and that was back in October) and I got nothing because of basic immunity. And no one has gotten infected from my groups that meet weekly the whole time, every infection from the people I meet with have come from their work or at a gym or whatever. Because just meeting with your small bubble of friends and family greatly slows the spread of the virus (you know, the objective), it's the public gatherings that cause fast, massive spreading. Also, doing pretty much anything outside is extremely safe (the CDC or news won't tell you that) and you barely get it from surface contacts. Just follow the science and actually listen only to the experts.
Lastly, you're gonna probably hate this the most. If companies weren't so goddamn greedy, we could've had a vaccine already tested and ready to go at the very start of the pandemic, look up of Dr. Peter Hotez.
