“You haven't had #COVID19? You're lucky!”

My “luck”:
Two concerts, two movies in theaters & one conference in three years (all masked).
I haven't eaten in a reasonably crowded restaurant in three months.
I've worn a mask 100% of the time in airports, planes, transit & retail.
I've eaten outside on 50F/10C evenings to avoid inside dining.
I got every jab as soon as possible.
I've monitored COVID conditions and adjusted behaviors to match.
I canceled 2 vacations due to COVID surges.
“LUCK!”

@augieray To be honest, some of it *IS* luck. It's about whether or not you encounter a particular strain that finds you tasty.

I am vaxxed and boosted to the max, and in fact just 3 weeks prior had gotten the bivalent booster... And then got COVID again.

So yeah, there really sincerely is luck involved, at least for most of us. Glad you've avoided it thus far.

@feoh Definitely some element of luck, but we do make a great deal of our own luck, don't we?

@augieray @feoh that's it, reducing space for luck to act in!
