OT XXX: COVID Off Topic

[RLWake]

Got booster timing , but otherwise,

I got mine last month no problemo

and I caught the rona

No matter how careful you are with masks or how boosted you are… nobody seems to care anymore at the grocery store. And yet it feels like EVERYONE is turning up sick around here… the cases really are spiking like mad.

Fuck.

How you feeling?

Me? Like a moderately cold. Grateful that I can work from home.

Megan? Miserable. About like a good bout of flu. She’s got her vaccines, so I’m going to be grateful that it’s not much, much worse. The main things are the sore throat, the headache, the body aches, and nausea for her.


It’s UNBELIEVABLY hard to get a covid test around here. Appointments are 3 days out and walk ins are a 4-5 hour line. Thanks Desantis

At least now you'll enjoy real antibodies and know exactly what this virus really is. Talked to a hardcore pro vax neighbor today, he got the 'cron and recovered and now he's singing a totally different tune! mindset transformation in this guy.

Me too, back in early November.

He's not scared anymore, so now he thinks that the politicians are way overreacting with new lockdown measures. We have a full no restaurant, no school, no gym lockdown in effect thanks to Omicron.

I'm sorry where does your wife work again? I forget sir. I'm a measly peasant Bachelor of Science after all mr pot.

I am firmly in the "let the scientists do their job" camp in the same way I am not going to watch a youtube video and explain how your cad drawings are all wrong (or respectively, whatever you do day to day).

Skills are transferable. People learn new shit. I've forgotten more math than most people ever learn. I really hate it when people try to put everyone in a neat little box. Typical liberal thinking IMHO; admittedly a vast overgeneralization to be sure.

"because you are an engineer that means you are not an electrician"
"Because you are XZY you can't have an opinion about ABC"

This appeal to authority is stupid. When PHIZER while publishing its data to the fda, which I might add is in the most favorable light possible because you know, money, has a table showing kids are at equal risk from AE's from the vaccine as they are from covid, I don't need an expert in any field to make that call for me.

Bring back even more restrictive lock downs because things are spiraling out of control while still blaming unvaccinated (Holidays 21)
Continue to egg on the population against eachother instead of admitting that early prevention in (Jun/July and admittance that vaccines are infective should have resulted in more lock downs). (Nov>Dec 21)
Booster shot availability for the rich/famous/politicians (December 21)
Peak variant and subsequent declines due to everyone having had it + vaccines (dec-March)
Booster shot availability for the common man (March 2022)
Back to normal for 2 months
New variant and rinse and repeat

That's my 12 month outlook

The exact timing was off but wow that has proven to be an incredibly accurate series of events.

Going to take the 4th one too after reading that chapter?

annndddd this is going to happen everywhere and this is over by the end of February.

Typical liberal thinking IMHO; admittedly a vast overgeneralization to be sure.

Bruh, the contradiction is hilarious.

"I hate it when people generalize, then immediately generalizes people."

Words man, do you understand how they work?

I don't know Alan, did you bother to read & comprehend the rest of the sentence? Its that last part you seem to be struggling with, the comprehension.

[Melon]

And to be clear I'm not saying that you're automatically unable to be informed, just that the qualifier "I'm an engineer" isn't an automatic qualification to be an EXPERT or speak with authority on every subject.

I call you out for being an idiot and you spew nonsense.
It's the Guillot playbook.

You do you boo.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

Headaches and sweats didn't return last night, and zero fever. Just a lot of whole-body achiness and soreness. Congestion popped up a bit, I woke up with a scratchy throat, but can still breathe 100%. I slept most of the night, which felt great.

Last night and this morning feel 100% like a normal cold. If it weren't for my first night of headache, sweats, and weirdness, I'd assume I just have/d a cold.

Which if I do actually have COVID, makes this potentially dangerous AF because I'd just go about my normal life doing whatever feeling this way and spread it around to all without knowing.

No Alan. It's right there. I state its my opinion, and admit its an overgeneralization. You are just looking for reasons to justify your dislike of me, of which you have plenty apparently.

Add to the list, I don't care I as do not seek your approval.

Good to hear you are feeling better, hope the trend continues for you.

Sounds right, at least you'll enjoy real antibodies once this is done.

We really enjoyed ourselves in public settings once we got over the VID, ZFG about catching or transferring it.

Assuming I have it, yep.

Nothing wrong with learning new things, we all should do that. Just dont let it continue to inflate your (already apparently massive) ego. There is a huge difference between listening to a podcast series and doing in depth, hands on research for 15 years.

You should inform the FDA that their widely audited and reviewed processes are wrong. Better yet, include the tens or hundreds of thousands of scientists and researchers worldwide who have dedicated their lives to developing new effective treatments.
