Maybe we can open a COVID asylum next to Alligator Alcatraz, the COVID Confines.

Mask wearing has been the biggest gift to the criminal element since the Saturday night special.

It's also become a security blanket for some fragile types who have been permanently psychologically scarred from the scaremongering. Even at this late date I saw a woman this weekend driving around in the 90 degree heat by herself, with her car windows open, and of course, wearing the mask and a bugeyed expression.

IVERMECTIN KILLS IT OFF QUICKLY! And a bottle of L-Lysine ($5.00) from Walmart kills it off in less than 3 days!

My best friend of 40 years passed away in June. She’d had COPD for many years. She had been a smoker until her diagnosis. According to her daughter, she contracted Covid. That’s what the hospital said anyway. She and her husband had been jabbed because of their health issues. Not sure if she had any boosters. The daughter said the only place she’d gone was to the doctors before her symptoms started. She was admitted to the hospital...was on oxygen but not a ventilator. After three weeks, they moved her to a comfort care home, and she passed a week later. I never smoked, didn’t get the jabs, tested twice for Covid prior to medical procedures a few years ago, but had no symptoms. We were the same age...77 going on 78.

An outright lie and enough to tell me this is propaganda."

Just about everyone I know who got the jabs got Covid, and had bad symptoms. I didn't get the jabs, tested twice for Covid within six months prior to medical procedures, but had no symptoms whatsoever.

"Never give up the con"

Or keeping people deathly afraid. There's an alarming number of weak people in the world who can't think for themselves.

In my own case, anecdotally speaking, the 3 jabs I had made me escape any serious episode of covid in spite of several cruises in 2021, 2022, 2023.

Biden escaped covid as well by staying in his basement. If you had done a dozen cruises from Sept- 2021 through end of 2023, you might have different experience.

Outcomes also tend to be more severe in those who experience social inequities

People who stay outside are less likely to get COVID, anyway.

What a stupid comment.

I don’t do cruises. Don’t like them. Tried it once. Not my idea of a vacation.

Vaccination remains the best way to GET Covid.

“It’s also become a security blanket for some fragile types who have been permanently psychologically scarred from the scaremongering.”

One woman who rides my bus wears a mask.

Another woman (one of these transgender 20’s somethings) has a mask permanently around her face.

To some degree, I try to be understanding. I don’t know if either is a huge germophobe or whether they have a suppressed immune system.

COVID was strange in our area. When I got it, it was pretty minimal. I have had worse respiratory ailments and colds. But then I had the shot and a booster before I got sick.

There were some people who, from appearances, were healthy and really got the snot beat out of them from it. A couple ended up in the hospital.

It was a strange time, that’s for sure.

Some people still insist on wearing their masks. A few may have chronic conditions which make them more vulnerable to infection, and a small number treat the mask like a good luck charm or magic amulet, provide a “firewall” of protection. I usually don’t say anything about such masks, unless it muffles the other person’s voice, so that I can’t understand what they’re trying to say.

It's stunning to me how many people are still wearing masks and how many mothers are forcing young children to wear them as well, smh. People driving by themselves, even out jogging, smh. I think for some it's become a "fashion statement", let's see, I've got on my shirt, socks, underwear, pants, shoes, oh oooops, almost forgot the mask. Women even have ones that are in different colors and/or designs. SMH.

My pulmonologist still wears a mask.

Different strokes for different folks. If I was
around sickness daily I might consider a
mask when around potential illnesses. Drs
nurses are around illness daily.

There are no symptoms and it lasts forever so get boostered ‘til your heart explodes!

It’s the only way to be sure.
