Has your opinion on COVID changed in the last 6 months?

This shouldn’t be a political thing since it influences how we live our day to day lives (Ironic, I know). Has anyone here changed their opinion? Have you gotten more pessimistic or positive? When do you think this pandemic will be over?

I don’t think rights should be sacrificed ever. Ever. Ever. Especially in an emergency. That’s when they’re needed most. If anyone is coming around trying to convince you to relinquish constitutional rights for the greater good, they aren’t after any greater good.

More like my suspicions were confirmed.

It's definitely a real thing.

But it's been blown out of proportion and used for some fricked up shite.

It's an easily transmitted virus with an extremely low rate of fatality that is being used to control the population.

No. I literally said as soon as the fake news media started acting like it was doomsday in March that this was entirely bull shite and would last way longer than it needed to.

Here we are almost a year later

The virus hasn't shut down businesses and schools, policies have.


I'm glad Andrew Cuomo is finally being called out for his shite, granted much too late and all for political reasons. Hopefully he and his administration burn for it, but I'm not hopeful for this.

But my opinion hasn't changed since July/August. They are going to drum up the fear as much as possible, bowing to the latest "science" even if it contradicts long "proven" science.

No. I think it is worse than the flu and some public measures should have been encouraged, but the number and broad extent of shutdowns that crushed people financially were handled incorrectly

Yes

I think it's even less dangerous and more blown out of proportion now. And I thought this was all bullshite last March.

Well...my Uncle was put in the hospital with it this weekend when his blood ox level dropped. I know 3 people who have died from it over the last year. So, no. Mine hasn't changed.

Know a few folks that have died from it, all older than 60 years old, but 2/3 were in their 60s and healthy, thin, and active. Also know dozens of young people that got it with no lasting impact and minimal symptoms.

Virus is real, but we should've just isolated the older people and folks with comorbidities from the very beginning and let the rest of us live our lives. We'd be in a much better place right now had we done that. We'd have herd immunity amongst the young and healthy.

After what, a month, we knew it was basically affecting old and unhealthy people. So since like April, no, my opinion has not changed

At first I thought the response was justifiable since there was so little known about the virus. As time went along, sort of surprised about the continued policies.

Granted on paper everyone says we are still doing the same things. But in everyday life seems like the majority have just moved on and dont really worry about it anymore.

Pessimistic
Every day that goes by gets worse from listening to my Grandpa slowly go downhill in a nursing home
Residents have been vaccinated for 3 weeks (both shots) & they are no where close to allowing visitors
They have to have no positive cases for 14 days but with the state reporting that only 38% of nursing home staff took the shot it doesn’t seem likely that there will be 0 cases anytime soon

Well the good news is even though obesity kills 1.5 million every year, that number should go down now because they can attribute a third of those to Covid now.
