It should be used to determine if a vaccine is even required. We are vaccinating people who are already immune.

Sophia Mazzola

I did not have the "typical" symptoms, nor would I have even known I was infected since I just had sinus congestion. The news sources reenforced I would be hospitalized and on oxygen for not getting vaccinated and left in a corner since I was wasting their time and resources. I was neither.

Teresa Parsons

Only if I know for sure that the test itself will Not make me sick.

I get one every week.

The tests look for antibodies from previous coronavirus infections or from the vaccine. However, they can deliver false positives and false negatives.

By still hiding at home and away from everyone.

Mask, staying out of crowds, hand sanitizer. I'm fully vaccinated but I'm elderly & have Parkinson's. Better safe than sorry.

Many Americans are not wearing masks or taking other precautions, despite the elevated numbers of cases and deaths seen this summer.

Only when required. I do avoid businesses that require them or proof of a negative test/vaccine. Far to close to what the Germans did prior to WWII

Belinda Kitchen

Nope , cause the mask don't do their job . And basically the Democrats are trying to be like Hitler and telling us how to live , what to do . What about land of the free and home of the brave in out national anthem? Don't seem like that's what we are doing now .

Debra Riffle

life is to be lived, not feared. We need to get on with it.

Niki Goldenstein

Never have changed anything in our routine. If I'm gonna get it I'm gonna get it just like anything else. I refuse to live in fear!!! I choose to trust in God, he will call me home when it is my time!!!
