Evidently people have no real idea what a pandemic is.
What historically happens is that viruses become more infectious and less lethal as they adapt to whatever is thrown in their way. This was to be expected.
Unless you shut everything down for an extended period of time (at least 90 days), largely shut down international travel, and impose an effective vaccine (which now we do not have), this is what happens. This is why Michael Osterholm said that trying to implement piecemeal vaccination while a pandemic is ongoing is like "trying to paint a train going 300 mph." Not likely to work.
The U.S. missed its opportunity to save lives with a 90-120 day shutdown 18 months ago. It's going to face the same situation, only worse because the virus transmits easier and vaccination will be no more than 50% effective.
All eminently predictable and the most likely consequences. Surprise, surprise, as Gomer Pyle used to say.
Rearrange the letters and you spell Moronic,,,,, perfect,,,,, RIP
Lockdowns could have saved multi-millions of lives from all kinds of diseases over the years. What the fuck is so special about covid? Why do you still preach lockdown bullshit? Melbourne, Australia has spent about 260 days locked down since March 2020. Six lockdowns. Every time they got the infection rate down to zero. They open up and the infections come back. They lock down again, infection rate goes to zero. Open up and it comes back. Over and over again.Quote:

There's only one thing thats going to stop covid....herd immunity. Lockdowns will do nothing but postpone the inevitable. Repeat, LOCKDOWNS WILL DO NOTHING BUT POSTPONE THE INEVITABLE.
That 90 to 120 day lockdown you talk about redietz wouldn't have done jackshit. But go ahead and continue your self imposed lockdown in your basement.
All in the name of commerce, eh? Do you like to eat, red? Do you have a bug out shelter all set up with food for the next decade so you can stay in your self imposed lockdown? Or do you get your groceries from the store? People keep producing food to feed your fat fucking face during the pandemic.
If you and your ignorant friends want to lockdown then go ahead. But don't fuck with the rest of us.
Just caught a news item that South African doctors are saying the effects of Omicron are very mild, last just a couple of days, and no hospitalizations.
This news story didn't come from the main stream media. We'll see how long MSM plays "the sky is falling."
While fucknut Fauci is on ABC this morning saying to not rule anything out including more lockdowns. I agree, we shouldn’t rule anything out, including his public execution.Quote:

But like I said, I've never had even a small reaction to a vaccine.Quote:

Lockdowns do something and thats temporarily slow the spread so that certain systems like healthcare aren't completely overrun with sick people. Having an overflowing hospital full of an infectious disease is 100% mitigated by lockdowns. That is just pretty apparent truth.
I don't know whether they're worth it or not but those who say they do absolutely nothing are simply wrong. Just like people who have suggested lockdowns could have gotten rid of this thing. Not a chance either IMO.

I heard that everyone is overreacting, that most 90 some odd percent of cases are very mild.
Most of this Corona is the damn sniffles.
Locking everything down for the sniffles??
Everyone I know that caught it has beaten it with nothing but Tylenol and Nyquill.
Except for my wife's Father in Law who is in his 70s and had to be hospitalized and even he beat it.
Unless you count the famous people who swear by some medications and monoclonal antibodies.
Stuff gets expensive but I hear they are giving it out for free in Florida.
Of course nothing is actually Free.
Do you understand what survivorship bias is monet?
Anyways just two more weeks...then they’ll tell us more stuff about omnibus, allegedly.
Let's talk about Survivorship Bias...Quote:

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
You beat the odds just making it out of the womb.
If you live past 40 years old you have beat the odds.
Stop trying to save people from death.
Everyone has to go through it.
Covid is not the Black Plague.
Not even close.
88% will experience mild symptoms.
You'll be sick for about 3 or 4 days.
And that is with basic Water, Food and Tylenol.
Homemade Chicken Soup and Tea with Honey/Lemon are luxuries.
etc. etc. all the way up to Monoclonal Antibodies for people willing to spend 1500 US Dollars.
Anyways, I'm pretty sure I finally caught a version of one of these strains over Thanksgiving.
The first 35 hours I couldn't sleep.
I was wired.
I started with a very soar throat in the morning.
Brushed it off and got some cough drops.
That night I was blowing my nose and one nostril was plugging up.
I could feel the virus moving into my bronchial tubes and chest.
Felt that same exact process before many times.
I was getting sticky yellow phlegm and a good amount.
I new something was wrong.
Finally fell asleep but I could feel the sweats and slight fever starting.
Never took any medicine and refused to get tested or go to the doctors.
I had about 48 hours of foggy brain or inability to concentrate or desire to concentrate.
Just ride the wave.
Not my first rodeo as I've had many chest colds much worse than this over the years and had many cases of the flu as well.
This seemed like nothing.
Day's 2, 3 and 4 I was out like a light.
Literally slept 70 out of the next 72 hours.
Day 5 I finally broke down and started to take some Tylenol, Nyquil and a bunch of vitamins.
I was feeling better so no need to see a doctor IMO.
I isolated in one of the rooms, in the house and went into quarantine.
I had the wife make me hot tea with honey/lemon and homemade chicken soup for the week.
After day 6 it was clear that it was basically over.
After day 8 I'm out of quarantine and back to normal and unmasked.
Nobody else in my house caught it.
I suppose it could of just been the common cold or regular flu but I doubt it.
Anyways, that's my story... don't bother me.
Stupid Sniffles for about 96% of people.
I think about 4% will need hospitalization.
I'm untested and unvaccinated by the way.
Now TP knows why I've been watching so many movies this last week!
One really good thing is that I tested out some of my camping equipment like my bag, bedroll and cot.
So that was nice.
Glad you're feeling back up to snuff Monet. Yes, I had originally wrongly figured you were just watching a lot of movies only because, like me, you love watching movies - but in reality it was because you love watching movies and you weren't feeling well.Quote:

I really can't distinguish it any different than a cold or mild flu.
After watching a bunch of testimonials and research I realized that over 90% of infected people can beat it with sleep and time.
Fluids, Food, Medicine and Vitamins help to speed up the healing process.
All and all its a nothingburger.

Omnicron MAY pretty much be the end of this thing as far as deaths unless you New World Order folks are right. All indications are it’s relatively mild AND spreading like wildfire, so it could be what gets us towards herd immunity with minimal deaths IF the powers that be can give up their obsession with case counts and focus more on outcomes.
So far I don't think there is a reported death worldwide from Omicron.Quote:

Vaccinated: Yes, Johnson and Johnson.
Boosted: No (Was going to get around to it when I had the time to be basically down and out for 24 hours)
Tested: Yes, positive.
Strain: Unknown (Home Test)
Symptoms (in order of severity):
Body Aches: Pretty moderate, but I have arthritis in my hands and knees that I don't take anything for, (which is to say I have a reasonably good pain tolerance) so you can decide what, 'Moderate,' means to you. Basically backache and aches in some joints that wouldn't typically hurt (particularly shoulder joint---mostly owing to the fact that I sleep on my sides). The backache is more than annoying, but less than, 'Bad.'
Coughing: Mild. Usually a single sharp cough every fifteen minutes, or so, on average. It's tough to give an average, though, because the sharp cough kind of comes and goes.
Fever: Mild. The fever definitely comes and goes, though it seems I either feel really hot or cold---typically cold. Peak temperature was 101.2, so far.
Sore Throat: I'd say pretty mild.
Treatments: Ibuprofen, as needed. I basically have only taken three IbuProfen an hour before bed because the backache is probably sufficient to keep me awake if I didn't do anything about it. Cough drops, whenever I feel like it---I've probably used ten cough drops over the last two days.
So, there you go. Make of it whatever you like.
Honestly, I thought it was strep throat, but since Covid has indeed killed people (whether you want to believe that or not), I figured I owe the unvaccinated people just enough to go ahead and stay home (quarantine) for the ten days, or whatever, if it was Covid...so I got the at-home tests.
Worse than a cold, not as bad as a flu...provided it doesn't get any worse, anyway. I say worse than a cold just because (imo) the backache is worse than a bunch of coughing and sneezing would be.
In theory, the backache could be unrelated or merely exacerbated by the Covid, but I don't know, I'm not a fucking doctor and have no plans to see one, presently. I don't recall any backache before I started having the symptoms of what I thought was strep.
Make that ten cough drops over the last three days...I started developing what I thought was strep on Friday, then felt exhausted Saturday (and had aches everywhere, but especially my back), woke up feeling better Sunday...but then quickly started feeling worse Sunday than I had on Saturday and now I think I am on the upswing. Anyway, I think I took a cough drop Saturday night, so I should have said over the last three days.
Fully Vaccinated and Boosted Jimmy Fallon and Whoopi Goldberg test positive for Covid.
Hurry up and get your shots before its too late.
4th Booster is already out and 5th is on the way.
Enjoy!

Vaccine or no vaccine, I’m sure as long as I have Mickey and yourself praying for me, I’ll be fine.
