Nope, live in Virginia Beach and I'm familiar with the immune system- I"m a doctor too. No amnout of bravado is going to help. Yes strengthening your immune system does help but first understand antigenic shift vs antigenic drift. There is a big component of luck. Many long term complications exist even for those who survive.
I've watched too many people die to not take this seriously. I've seen too many grandparents get this from grandkids. Dads get this from sons and many of the die.
You have to wear pants, you don't think that's a block to your "freedom" no one is walking around pantless talking about the government and their rights to not wear pants 1
you can't shoot heroin, that doesn't matter either
so why is a mask suck a big deal to save some lives. I just don't get it.
Of course it loops back around to "why can't you just wear a mask" for you. I have to stop my eyes from rolling so hard I lose my balance when I read that.
"taking it seriously" isn't some line that you are on one side of, and people who don't have your level of fear are on the other side of.
If you are worried about what will happen to you, or someone around you, by contacting one of these covid strains, do what you need to do. Wear a mask, get a vaccination, live in a bubble for the next six years for all I care. More power to you. Tell grandma not to go to the restaurant. Tell your diabetic uncle not to go to the game. Stop asking me, who's life has been affected for over a year ONLY by the restrictions, and not the virus, to do shlt to make you feel safer until you say it's OK to be normal again because your fear is more real than my acceptance of known personal risk.
