    Please take whatever precautions you are comfortable with. ;)

    This is a nasty virus and it doesn't care if you are vaccinated or not. :/
    It would seem it is more about how strong your immune system is.

    I had a friend that was 75 years old and in a care facility. This was early on and he had received the first shot. He got it and didn't even know he had it, no signs or symptoms. About a month after he got it he fell and died from a broken hip.

    I had another friend that had both shots and she died from Covid.

    Another friend had both shots and got it, he said it was mild just like a cold and was over it in about 4 or 5 days.

    I know of 3 other people that got it and none were vaccinated. One had a mild case and was over it in about 5 days, one got fairly sick for about 7 or 8 days, the other was very sick for 10 to 14 days.

    Who the hell is "They"?

    It wasn't a "they". It was a "she" who grieving. It was her maid's sister who was afraid to get vaccinated because of "La Migra" taking her kids away if she got sick from it and they found out she was undocumented.

    From the bourse contract:

    "SPECIAL NOTICE: The Orange County Convention Center is a non-smoking building. This rule will be enforced."

    So you're free to walk the bourse, even if you're unvaccinated and highly symptomatic, but you can't smoke. Like they say, truth is stranger than fiction.

    If you're highly symptomatic and too dumb to stay home, I would also guess you're too dumb to collect coins.

    It seems boosters are a must now:

    Jim Dover, president and CEO of Sparrow Health System said:
    Since January, we've had about 289 deaths; 75% are unvaccinated people and the very few (vaccinated people) who passed away all were more than 6 months out from their shot. So we've not had a single person who has had a booster shot die from Covid.

    Ref: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/12/09/us/hospital-covid-19-deaths-michigan/index.html

    And it does seem related to health:

    Dec. 9, 2021 -- The coronavirus infects fat cells and certain immune cells within body fat, creating an immune response that could lead to major damage, according to a recent preprint study.

    The finding could explain why those who are overweight or obese face higher risks for severe illness and death from COVID-19. The study hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed or published in a journal, but it offers insight into why some patients are vulnerable, even if they don’t have any other risks or conditions.

    Given some of the junk parking lot coins and the equally; ahh insightful; yes insightful questions that are asked each day on this and the forum ats I can only conclude that many dumb people collect coins.

    I would guess those aren't collectors. In some cases they are trolls, and in others they are someone who inherited coins and knows nothing about them. In either case, I highly doubt they are attending coin shows.

    Sorry to hear you got it but glad you got better!

    Do you know how you got it?

    Yes, I was outside talking to my neighbor. I don't know if it was transmitted by air we were only an arm length away or if she touched the hand rail and then I touched it. After about 10 minutes of talking she said "Oh, I think I may have Covid" I said "thanks for telling me, where's your mask" I think there is a real good chance if I had a mask on I would not have got it. Within 18 hours I knew I had it. I was the sickest I have ever been in my life. That's why I was absent from the forum for a couple weeks.

    Wash your hands & wear a mask!

    Edited to add: Four days before I got it I lost a long term friend to it, she had both shots but no booster. When I got it this was on my mind and my first thought was oh great I'm next.

    Glad you’re back!

    Did your friend get sick? Does she know you did?

    @Zoins "Did your friend get sick? Does she know you did?"

    Yes, she had a mild case that lasted about 5 days.

    Yes, she knows that she gave it to me and said sorry.
