Honestly, you probably haven’t heard of breakthroughs because you ARE wearing masks in Canada. It didn’t help that we stopped wearing them indoors in May right when Delta was circulating.
I “know” one person with a breakthrough… A friend of my husband who doesn’t live in MA. She’s young and an athlete and says it felt like a sinus infection and passed quickly.
I actually don’t know anyone in my friend group or at work (Boston HQ, other offices in New England and elsewhere) who’s had a breakthrough infection. I do think they’re common with Delta but also that it varies a lot by level of vaccination where you live.
My Indian colleagues were telling me last Spring that the shots didn’t seem to work against the new variant, but also at that time not very many people in India were vaxxed, just the oldest.
Have you ever tried to say something, in a meeting or something, or better yet to a client, that your boss did not want you to say? Really think about that. What happens if you decide to go against their wishes and be completely honest? You get reprimanded and eventually fired. I have a friend who got fired because she wouldn’t shut up about her company’s data weighting practices. So I mean, imagine your boss has everyone fired all the time for everything. What are you going to do? Be as transparent as you possibly can without going so far as to get axed and replaced with someone completely bonkers and dishonest and doesn’t even believe data? Or….?
I used to get a cold sometimes and I definitely did mind it, it sucked. I don’t think I ever had flu. Definitely would not want it.
I don’t think of Covid-19 like cold or flu though. Any sickness I had before, I knew it would pass and I’d be fine. I wouldn’t know that with this, because it does really really weird things to otherwise healthy people, like kill them, or wreck their health like it did to commenter Alafair. Or even just make you feel like you can’t breathe. That’s super scary. I don’t want to just live with this thing going around and mutating. I want everyone to fucking get vaccinated.
ETA a friend told me about his ex’s experience. She (around 40) was hospitalized and intubated. She was told, basically, “ok now you are either going to die or you’ll wake up.” She did live, but has that ever happened to you when you had cold or flu?
We’ve been over and over all of this. There’s nothing else I can tell you.
I think she’s around 30, so there’s still time if she leaves *now*. And sees a psychologist yesterday.
I think this is Tina’s usual thought process of, “Please tell me that this is just me being unreasonable. My husband has a female friend and I struggle with that because I’m insecure and crazy. So my perfectly reasonable, above-board, husband has to lie to me about how he’s spending his time. He’s not cheating, I’m just unreasonable. Right? Right guys?”
GG so sorry to hear you’re having issues. I know I also felt so much relief when I reached a breaking point and kicked my first husband out. I hope you two can find a way forward soon, together or not.
My thoughts are still that your self-delusion is destroying your life and any chance of happiness.
And also marveling that someone could get to be 30-something years old with a job and never have spent $70 on a gift for someone. He sounds like a real prize.
Ok so don’t read her dreary nonsense.
Some of you are missing the fact that the parents are oblivious and think their son is the messiah. He’s going to introduce them to his “friends” and they’re going to go along with it just like Tina does. Families’ protection of their sons runs disturbingly deep.
That was Leslie’s advice and it was solid.
I feel like the title of this post, and the quotes around “female friend,” indicate that you know this is a romantic relationship, Tina. Why are you okay with this? What are you really getting from your marriage?
