Comment on How do you currently handle Covid infections?
CarlCook@feddit.de 9 months agoI‘m not saying I go out and about coughing in peoples faces. I try to be sensible and stick to high hygiene standards as mentioned.
So if somebody is vulnerable or feels anxious about getting infected they should also take proper precautions. And by everything I’ve learned through the pandemic, the risk of transmission should be very minimal.

Those hygiene standards do not stop transmission, just look at all the medical staff that died despite taking all the precautions.
If someone is vulnerable then the only 'proper precaution' is that they stay home 24/7. Why should they do that just because people like you won't stay home for a week now and again? It's selfish.

Because there are so many people completely free of symptoms that still transmit the virus.
I stick to the official regulations of my administration and they do not state mandatory isolation any more.

Did you just say “other people do it by accident so it’s ok for me to do it on purpose”??

No, I said I stick to the official recommendations but do not exceed them, because I do not believe it is reasonably justified.
