I think it was less "enlightening" and more just you reaffirming that you couldn't be bothered. You don't believe masks are needed for people with an infectious illness? You don't think someone that is sick should stay-at-home?

"I lost an uncle and a grandmother to COVID", kinda feel bad for them that all you think of it now is "most places on earth treat it as the common cold nowadays." How many members in your family have you lost to the common cold so far in the past few years?

"This all reflects my reality where I haven’t heard about or been affected by COVID for years now."

"I’m just an average dude (LOL). I travel a lot half the year in USA and EU and chill in remote areas all winter." Huh, wonder why your arguments sound like anti-covid mandates. Your dog whistles of "Are you suggesting that everyone needs to be staying home and not working? If everyone doesn’t go to work, how will people survive (food, water, climate control)?" are pure trolling. Plenty of people worked during the pandemic and only quarantined when necessary, you know, common sense. People might be harsh towards you on here but you're definitely deserving of it with your responses.

Im a big fan of masks and staying home when sick. Always have been. My whole life. Covid included.

You’re way off base here.

The person suggested that everyone should be staying home and I was genuinely curious how they thought the world would run if no one worked.

You’ve got me labeled and nothing I can say will help you hear my position and discuss in good faith so this can just stop now.

The WHO and IOC have rules. Athletes aren’t breaking the rules.

Nah, you read everyone should be staying at home. Person had a following qualifier that you ignored.

"I didn’t realize there were covid extremists still thinking masks and stay-at-home orders are needed."

"Im a big fan of masks and staying home when sick. Always have been. My whole life. Covid included."

You're all over the place. How am I suppose to follow along with your extremes that contradict each other? This must be a "we should follow common sense, but don't have common sense regulations in place" argument I suppose.
