Have a good lockdown.

Ahem...just as I predicted in April 2020. The virus is mutating itself into irrelevance. Just like SARS-1 did. If the virus survives at all, it will be indistinguishable symptomatically from the common cold viruses.

Here’s another observation. As soon as vaxing began, there was a big rise in cases in a number of countries. But there was little or no rise in deaths. See, for example Sweden on Worldometer.info. Only with substantial hand-waving could this drop in lethality be tied to vaccines.

If there is ever an honest post-mortem of this pandemic, it will show that the vaccine appeared just as the virus had run its course (exactly as Virology 101 says an RNA-based virus should). Heads should roll. But they won’t.

Because it is a bad cold.

But if untreated it can be quite serious. But they do not want to treat it. They want to test you and send you home untreated so it will get really bad. That way they make more money.

My best friends mother was repeatedly tested for SARS‑CoV‑2. She had lung cancer.

But there is no money in that.

Notice how the narrative has changed. At first, it was inject the older population. Now they are coming after the children.

A friend in her late 50s had it. Her symptoms were an “uncomfortable” sore throat for 2 days. That was it. She quarantined at home with her husband (late 60s) who didn’t catch anything while living with a largely asymptomatic wife 24/7.

One of 4 couple I know where one spouse caught it and quarantined, while living as man an wife, and the other spouse caught nothing. But the government says asymptomatic spread accounted for half of the cases. Heck, at one point even the WHO said asymptomatic spread was under 1%.

If we had known that, then there was never ANY reason to shut down ANYTHING. Just “Stay home if you feel sick!”

It was nowhere -near- nasty enough to kill the entire economy of the USA and lock people in their homes for most of a year. Locking the uninfected down in police state quarantines was not even close to called for.
Doctors refusing to stand up for that fact are the root cause of people ignoring everything else about coronavirus.

Not being snarky, but the medical community only has itself to blame that nobody trusts them much now.

I wonder if it’s less dangerous also.

Like all professions there are good and bad. Medical community included.
I never supported lockdowns. Kept my season tickets to college football. Went to movies as soon as open. Including on Christmas Day.
It was politicians that drove the ridiculous response.
They of course had willing participants but there was plenty of pushback.
I live in a very red state so my life was minimally affected.

Yes. I understand very early on when little was known.

A true two weeks to stop the spread.

But when the epidemiology became apparent about high risk groups, and the antibody studies established the vast majority of people who got infected didn’t even know they had it, meaning it isn’t nearly as deadly or dangerous as it seemed, reasonable and rational safety measures could have been taken that didn’t shut everything down and harm the economy.

My cardiologist who is also a buddy has been in practice since the 60’s. He worked in a major Chicago area ICU during the whole damn thing. He told me it was like a chamber of horrors and to get the shot...any shot! I did.

It's because common cold is now classified as covid.

What does he have to say about hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin?

“Why COVID-19 may now feel like a ‘bad cold’ — with headache, runny nose among most-reported symptoms”

because everyone with actual colds can now be reported as covid-19 “cases” and help keep the fascist micro-control of the peasantry in place?
