Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)

Are people here still wearing facemask or gone yolo? I still do indoors, but I am in the small minority in north america.
I still wear mask whenever I go out. I don't want to get covid every 4-5 months. I recently got covid and recovered. I don't feel much except minor cough on the fist two days but a family member is still coughing after a month. Beside, I didn't have flu ever since covid which is great so mask does work in some extent.

If you didn't get the flu, that means you don't have immunity for the recent flu variants.

Does it matter? It isn't like you wouldn't get flu if you got immunity from some variants. In a bad year, I got flu two to three times. The so called immunity is only useful for children that need to develop their immunity system.
You need to get vaccinated for the flu as well.

The few times I got flu vaccines, it didn't prevent me from getting flu that year. So no point for me to keep getting flu vaccines if its efficacy rate is so low. Not that I wouldn't recommend for elderly to get flu vaccines. However, pneumococcal vaccines are far more important for elderly than flu vaccines.

Bro I got omicron early this year, Jan 3 to be exact, after that thank god I don't get any, maybe because of the weather, it's so hot here or I develop an antibodies. Whatever it is I will not get my 4th dose even IF the gov't penalize me, I have enough and they offer Western vaccine like Pfizer and Moderna due to overstock and people hesitancy, It is very difficult to get SINOVAC these days and you have to pay to get one.

Bro Since my business is in Travel and leisure, I have here an attachment from the Japanese Embassy and it will make your blood boil. :mad:
Anybody who wish to travel to Japan to apply a VISA need to be vaccinated by the vaccine listed, you see none of the Chinese vaccine are included, What vexing to me is that they accepted the Indian vaccine maybe because it is a rebranded Astrazeneca BUT it leave a sour taste in ones mouth, it is reek with discrimination.
