Why am I picturing the last Japanese soldier to emerge from the forest to surrender in 1974.

I got sick with the Wuhan Whooping Gleep in June, one of the worst illnesses ever. Plaxovid got rid of it but my Wife with both boosters was sick for 3 weeks. Me? 5 days. It is NOT a cold or the flu.

By now it’s pretty easy to know, if they are still wearing a mask, they are a demorat.

Our next door neighbor stayed home and inside for about 18 months. Then he ventured out walking the dog...with a mask, of course. Finally, after two years, we got together for dinner a couple times.

It’s hard for some people to admit that they were lied to and they were wrong. What’s harder is admitting that those right wing jerks you hate were right. :)

Caught Covid last January. The moment found out I was exposed took Ivermectin.

Sick for one day and my only symptoms were a fever and a runny nose.

Did lose my appetite for about 5 days. (So did all my friends who were exposed when I was.)

Two years of fear mongering by the MSM and now they have the gall to ask this.

Yep Stockholm syndrome. You’d have to believe that everything you believed were lies...too much for some to accept. Cognitive dissonance.

I still see people taking a “health walk” outdoors and wearing a mask. Though not as many as 12-14 months ago. Back then I would see people jogging with masks on.

Australia still obsessing over zero/5 day/7 day isolation:

VIDEO: 26s: 29 Aug: news.com.au: Covid isolation period likely to be reduced from seven days to five, national cabinet to discuss
A weeks-long push to change one of Australia’s key Covid rules, led by one of the major states, may be about to yield results.
The possible change will be discussed at a national cabinet meeting on Wednesday, with the New South Wales government hoping a national consensus will be reached...

The United States cut its quarantine period to five days last year, and the United Kingdom went even further in January, scrapping all self-isolation rules...

By Dana Daniel, Angus Thompson and James Massola

Oh the irony. Soon these people are going to set up shop as a disorder and thus be considered a threat group by the government

They were stark raving mad from the get go. They are not mad from staying in the house, they stayed in the house because they are mad.
