I am so f'ing sick of people saying, "Oh, I have allergies! Maybe it's the flu? Or just a cold? Could be RSV or strep..." and COMPLETELY omitting covid, as if it literally doesn't exist. RSV didn't used to be in the everyday vernacular of illnesses either, but somehow people now refer to it more commonly than covid?!?
And don't even get me started on those who only mention covid to say, "It's not covid" even though they didn't test or only tested once!!!

Of course it's not JUST covid out there & guess what? Masks work to prevent MANY illness, not just covid!!
My dad took a 1-week trip, came home sick, now recovering for 1.5 weeks & counting. Multiple home tests over 5 days all neg. for covid, flu A/B, RSV.
My kid stopped masking at school (high school senior, I have to choose my battles) & now he's sick with flu B.
At the VERY LEAST can't people mask when having symptoms so they don't spread what they have to others?!?!

@ikuo1000 I hear you! If they admit Covid is still out there, they might have to take action and wouldn't that be inconvenient.
They may have to find out the hard way when they catch one of those mystery illnesses that appear out of nowhere. /s
Hope your dad and kid recover without lasting issues.
@ConnyChiwa Thank you!!
And yeeess, that's it exactly. These people would rather ignore covid than face the inconvenience of dealing with covid - because they DO know it's serious enough to take precautions if covid ACTUALLY is present 🙄 - even if it means they'll end up getting covid themselves or passing it on to others!?!! It's a logic that makes no sense to me. ðŸ˜
