Is my dad right about this pandemic?
He is a physician specializing in infectious diseases. He has worked on the COVID vaccine and says that despite what you hear in the media the current vaccines only offer protection for 1-2 months. He says the virus just keeps mutating and getting stronger, and this pandemic is going to play out very similarly to the Black Death pandemic of the 14th century, and we will have over a billion deaths within the next 5 years. He spends a lot of time alone now, and cries a lot, and I can tell he is really wearing down. I'm so worried about both him and this world.

Can you get herpes from someone with it kissing on your stomach and chest?
Favourite answer:No. They would have to kiss you on your mouth (if they have herpes on their mouth), or they would have to give you oral sex while they have a break out.
If it's genital herpes, you would have to have intercourse with them while, or around the time they had a break out. You would be unlikely to get herpes on your stomach, even if some one did kiss you there while they had a break out. Herpes rarely occurs away from the mouth or genitals.
Herpes is rarely passed out side of those activities.

How to relax during the pandemic?
I keep on freaking out, my anxiety has heightened, and now I'm so paranoid. I've recently tested negative for COVID-19, but I'm still concerned because I know that you can still be infected if you've been exposed to someone who has it. I'm just mentally exhausted of the news, and I just wish this era of medical misinformation would end. I've recently done telemedicine because there was blood in my stools, and that alone made me paranoid that, maybe, I have COVID-19.
How can I relax amid all this mass hysteria? Should I do meditation? How can I relax during this pandemic and all the medical misinformation? I'm just really tired, and the fear of not knowing is so great in me. Even getting a fever freaks me out because the news keeps on repeating that every little symptom means that you have COVID-19.

Should I get tested for COVID?
I’m 20 years old. Today I woke up with 100.8 fever and some coughing. However, my younger sister was tested for covid yesterday with the NYC public school’s random covid testing. Today the results came and it was negative. I know almost no one tests positive with the school testing. They don’t even stick the swab fully up their noses and results only take one day.

She’s has recently got the shot a few days ago but I still feel uncomfortable and I don’t know what to do. Should I go get Tested for any STD’s before I go forward or just keep using condoms since it’s my penis and I can do what I want with it.

provided you have already contracted covid 19 why can't they use a serum titer as proof of immunity?
and yes I know it has mutated but influenza also mutates, when I contracted covid my symptoms were very light, headache like a migraine (7days) during which time productive cough no loss of taste or smell, and 3 days non-productive cough (contracted Nov. 2020, tested Nov 2020, confirmed covid isolated per protocols 14 days at that time) no further symptomology, so why should I get the vaccine?

Is it ok to be hesitant towards the Covid vaccine?
I feel that since it's not yet approved by FDA yet and it's been less than a year since it got created, it's still new and needs more trials. I'm very hesitant towards it and will not take it for the meantime, even if offered.
Secondly, in the past I've taken both the flu shot and chickenpox vaccine as a child. It did nothing. I still had a flu for a week and the full 2 weeks of chickenpox. It was the same as if I were to not take it. So I figure that the Covid vaccine isn't that much of a difference either. More than likely it isn't gonna protect me from Covid. What I'm doing is simply taking precautions, wear my mask if I need to go out and follow rules.
