Sorry I mistyped—I got the J&J in March 2021. No booster. I took an at-home Covid antigen screening test yesterday morning because I had a fever and sore throat and otherwise would have visited elderly relatives on Christmas 🎄 Day: positive. I plan to just sit at home this week—ironically, my brother bought me “in Trump time”—Peter Navarro’s journal of America’s plague year and I’m reading it while infected with the very same plague….

Understood.

A better read is the history of the late Mongol Empire. Circa 1320. 2nd largest empire in the history of the world.

By 1355, it was gone. GONE. Erased.

Plague.

Bacteria and virus don’t care what government policy is. That empire was renamed Yuan Dynasty in that time frame. There were provinces of 5 million people wiped out. 100%.

If you’re a Yuan Dynasty plague bacteria you don’t have to kill everyone. Just kill the farmers. The rest follow.

Good for you. People need to start getting in the faces of these crazed Karens and teach them a lesson.

Lockdown could be stopped if HCQ and/or Ivermectin were released for public use.................

Ditto here in SE Virginia. Here in conservative Gloucester County, most folks are unmasked and enjoying the daily routines.

The post was bounced off you and was not addressed to you. That is easy enough to see.

No it was not. He made it personal with the ‘you’ and did not even try it make it seem like it was not.

Delta was the main variant until recently, but omicron cases are exploding:

They probably should release data on a daily basis.

If sick, stay home.

If really sick, seek medical care.

I could have wrote that in 1970.

If we kept track of the seasonal flu cases like this every year, no one would leave their home! This has to stop and we are the ones to stop it!

I have the Omicron variant. FWIW, I am triple vaccinated. I have sat through for six days and am steadily improving to the point where I have a slight nuisance cough and am a bit tired.

I am actually thankful to have contracted this mild version to just get it over with and gain natural immunity. The push of this as a fear vehicle is absolutely childish. Nobody wants to be sick, but I have had worse than this and normally get a cold or bronchitis in the early winter.

Anywho, I can’t control others fear but I sure can tell them to check it when they try to export said fear onto me.

Congratulations on the natural immunity you acquired with Omicron. I’m two time MODERNA vaccinated and have tried since summer to add natural immunity by catching Delta. I failed at that effort. Maybe the much more infectious Omicron will come my way.

“Soft lockdown”?

Is that like a soft opening of a restaurant?

Perhaps it’s “soft” as in a trial run for the inevitable panic and hysteria that they will attempt to stir up for the mid-term elections to justify an attempt to mandate universal voting by mail.

The flu is more dangerous than Omicron.

This is about mass hysteria.

Quote: “ What were your symptoms?”

Exhaustion, nasal congestion, cough, fever and chills (first 24 hrs.), and a taste in my mouth like I ate a tire. I could still taste food but the aftertaste was the rubber tire.

As of now, I still feel tired. The cough is lingering. But definitely on the mend.

Our county population is about 24K people. 21 deaths, supposedly FROM Covid, over the course of 2 years.

If they’re counting ‘deaths’ the way the CDC counts them, it’s ‘with’ Covid, not ‘from’ Covid. I don’t believe that even 21 people died FROM Covid in my county.

But, that’s just me. ;)
