8 minutes!

I have no problem with people enforcing the rules. Apparently you do.

Tick tock.

The thing now though is that you can get much more comfortable options. I've been wearing a KN95 mask lately, hours at a time when traveling, and it's not annoying at all. This is it, and it has FDA or CDC emergency approval,

Not that anyone now will necessarily find that link useful. If you take COVID seriously you've been vaccinated by now, in which case you're pretty safe without a mask. And if you don't you're not interested in options for masks anyway.

You are absolutely correct.

Doesn't it bother you that you have been taking all these precautions, social distancing, wearing those uncomfortable masks, giving up PUSSY of all things, pretty much giving up an entire year of your life in order to feel "safe" and then there are millions of people just like me who didn't give up a single thing, we kept socializing, we only wore masks when and where absolutely required, we most definitely didn't give up SEX.

Now here we are over a year later and my health is every bit as good as yours, probably better and I didn't give up shit. lol

Doesn't the irony bug you at least a little bit? Personally I'd be pissed if I had given up a year of my life for nothing.

I didn't give up any of that. I was back in restaurants as soon as they re-opened. And it's a miracle I didn't come down with COVID because of sex. My closest call might have been with a woman who was coughing up a storm, kept telling me she didn't have COVID, then the next day said she'd gotten tested and was positive.

I did wear an N95 or KN95 mask and social distanced when I could. And precisely for that reason I felt semi-safe and I didn't have to give up shit. Well, any shit of consequence. You on the other hand did, as, unlike me, you quit traveling to Latin America.

And since you haven't gotten vaccinated, and since you're not wearing a mask, you're not home free if you do resume traveling to places like Colombia, where there are still lots of COVID infections.

Your logic is rather convoluted, you social distanced yet had some hooker hacking up a storm all over you. Whatever gets you through the day I suppose, but at least you have "some" of your priorities straight. lol

And the reason I quit going to Latin America was because all my favorite playgrounds were locked up tight and there was no sense in going. I can get all the pussy I want right here at home, no reason to spend five hours or more on a plane just to be locked up in a hotel room for my entire stay. A buddy of mine lived for several years in Medellin, he got locked in his own apartment with his GF AND her parents for weeks only able to leave once a week to go shopping. Thanks but no thanks.

A. She was not a hooker.

B. I practiced COVID safe sex. I wore a KN95 mask and googles, and we banged in reverse missionary position. That means my head's face down around where her feet are, and her head's around where my feet are, and I thrust backwards. I guess we could have done reverse cowgirl but I didn't think it was safe.

OK, B's a lie. Normally though I was careful, at least compared to my friends. It's a numbers game. You could get COVID if you wore a mask religiously, never ate an an indoor restaurant, didn't visit with friends unmasked, and social distanced, like a colleague of mine did. Or you could get it after being vaccinated. But if you exercised common sense most of the time, you significantly reduced your chances of getting the disease.

You posed the question earlier, why should I get the vaccine? Well, the faster this dies out, the quicker you can go back to banging Colombian women. And what's going to cause it to die out? When enough people get infected with COVID, die from COVID, and get vaccinated, we'll be through with this. And getting the vaccine is the best among those choices, and probably provides the most effective, longest lasting immunity, next to death by COVID. At some point you may not have an option. If you want to go to FKK's in Germany or bordellos in Barcelona this summer you'll probably have to produce evidence of a vaccination. Colombia may make the same requirement someday. From July 1, you can travel to Phuket, Thailand without quarantining if you're fully vaccinated. Bangkok won't be far behind.

Another reason, for anyone who's relatively young and who's going to travel outside the United States is the B.1.617.2 variant, first identified in India, and other variants that will arise and take hold in the future. B.1.617.2 is hospitalizing and killing younger people. It's probably much more infectious and more lethal than even the British variant.

From a Wall Street Journal article on the Indian variant,

William Haseltine, a pioneering scientist of cancer, HIV drugs and human genome projects, noted that in the pandemic flu a century ago, the first wave of the disease hit the elderly but then a second and worse wave came for the young.

“No matter where [the coronavirus] appears, there are many variants, and they are all different. They share some common properties, which include increased transmissibility, an increased age range and an increased disease in the young,” said Dr. Haseltine.

The B.1.617.2 variant went from 1% of Indian cases on March 3 to 85% on May 12. And now it's taken hold in the United Kingdom, where some estimates attribute 75% of cases to this and a second variant of Indian origin. This has resulted in a 20% increase in cases in the UK in the last week.

Actually the Indian variant, and other variants that will evolve, is a good argument for getting vaccinated regardless of whether you travel. The UK is very similar to the U.S. in terms of the percentage of the population that's been vaccinated or had the disease.
