I decided to skip my company's Christmas lunch last week. It was held at work with about 150+ people stacked in a huge conference room with about 15 people per table. No masks obviously. Over the Thanksgiving break , 3 members of my family came down with Covid (I was lucky I didn't) . We all were together for Thanksgiving dinner at one of my siblings. I don't want to take any chances. I have been Covid free this entire pandemic and I plan to continue keeping it that way

You do realize you’ll eventually catch it right? Like your Bragging about your body having a weaker immune system. It’s a really shittier version of the flu but your body will Develop a response and you’ll be stronger. Or you can run away the rest of your life. I caught it twice and the second time I recovered in less than 2 days. First time sucked.

People die from the flu every year, heart disease, drowning and car accidents. I seriously doubt people who claim to choose “life” and hide away avoid any of those other related activities they can lead to those statistics. These type of posts are just people wanting to talk about themselves for no reason. They probably would have a circle around their profile picture in their firm that says “I choose life” if they knew it wouldn’t get misconstrued as being anti abortion.
