I would appreciate any help in squaring things like this story with seeing 50k plus in (indoor) sports events with no masking or other remediation measures. And they’re in the same or adjacent states. Is it merely that they’re tolerating the deaths and sickness as less important that their inconvenience?

Because 65% of Ohio's adult population has chosen to receive vaccines and want to live normal lives because of it?

So they think that covid is over for them so they can go on? What about the unvaxed amongst them?

Why should a person who is vaxxed worry about being around unvaxxed, unmasked people in public indoor settings that they’ve chosen to be in?

Uhh, delta and omicron are contagious to doubly vaxxed. And spreadable by these people as well. You’re gambling to some degree that you won’t have a problem or you won’t be around those who are at higher risk. I hope it’s a good gamble with omicron as this will greatly facilitate switching to endemic but nobody’s sure yet.

The risks of someone my age having serious COVID issues are rather low. I am also fully vaxxed on Pfizer and don't have major underlying health issues. I'm perfectly accepting of the any personal risk because the risks are extremely low. In fact, I had COVID recently (kids caught it at school and brought it home), and my symptoms were very mild and didn't prevent me from working of functioning close to normal. Of course, we all followed proper quarantining guidelines and did not have contact outside of our home with anyone during that period.

If other people who are at higher risk have not chosen to appropriately mitigate their risks with the numerous tactics at their disposal, such as vaccination, masking, social distancing, etc. than I do not feel much of a duty to avoid being around them, if they are going to be at places I want to be.
