Happy not to discuss it but still committed to take the necessary precautions.

Agree with Corey!

Yes, I am weary of it. It is important to take precautions, but it shouldn't dominate our lives or conversations.

I spend very little time focused on COVID. That said, I will engage in a conversation about anything that is informative, thought-provoking, solution-driven and is positive in tone. Otherwise, count me out. There are aspects of the pandemic that must be part of my day but I give it as little attention as possible even if it's good news. I'm glad you used your power to change the focus - we can all do that no matter what the topic.

Yes. Agree. Good for you for gently moving the conversation on. :)

Agreed, It's time to get back to business!

Just because we're weary of Rona doesn't mean she's weary of us.
Omicron BA.2 is no joke.

If we want to be over with it, we're going to need to:
1) Rethink how we deliver healthcare (the ER shouldn't be the default option)
2) Provide more in-home care
3) Provide vaccines to everyone worldwide who wants it

Past pandemics lasted years (or decades) until war broke out and that realigned societal priorities.

So, who's ready for a land war in Europe? Or border wars in Asia?

P.S. Yes, I am tired of Corona too. I am tired of living at home, not going to restaurants or vacations overseas. I am tired of not being able to go on a cruise ship. Or Weddings.
And then I look at the immunocompromised in our family, the under 5 year olds...and I look at my inconveniences and realize all my complaints are FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS.

We should set up a Zoom and promise not to say one word about COVID!
