That's right. It's gone. With all the vaxxed--actually it's NOT a vaccine, it's an experimental arm jab, REAL vaccines typically take about 11 years from concept to market, given all the safety protocols...uhh, oh, there are NO safety protocols? No worries!--and extra-boostered and extra-extra and kids down to six months getting this big money-maker/control mechanism, this woo han flu is GONE. GONE.

Why is this the only thing they can talk about for the first 10 minutes of any "news" report? Panic the peasants.

We will be seeing the "unanticipated" side-effects of this experimental drug for years or decades.

I remember Ferret-Face Fauci stating categorically that if you get the vax, you will not get this woo han and you can't spread it. Of course, he's said every possible thing you can say about this disease that he and his Chinese masters cooked up with our tax dollars, so just pick what you like and FFF can just about guarantee it.

This cooked up bio warfare has also succeeded in dividing us, divide and conquer. It's quite simple. And get filthy rich while attempting to dissolve America. A win-win, if you're on the side of evil.

Maybe I’m just callous but old people die. People with comorbidities die. If you are dependent on meds to stay alive you are on borrowed time. My mother and aunt spent their last days in one of the ground zero nursing homes pre-Covid, on a good day there were people there who were dying. My dad is 88 and healthy but I know everyday with him is a gift, but I’ve come to accept that my time with him is limited. I wish I could still have every friend who died young still with me, I wish my mom was still with me, but that’s not how things work.
People in risk groups should take the appropriate steps but that doesn’t mean they still won’t die, and life will go on.

Good luck finding a home testing kit. Even before the rush they were hard to find.

Millions are used each day…and NYT recognizes the resulting statistical chaos (while ignoring the complete evisceration of isolation/quarantine and contact tracing efforts):

By Sophie Kasakove
Dec. 30, 2021

Millions of rapid at-home Covid tests are flying off pharmacy shelves across the country, giving Americans an instant, if sometimes imperfect, read on whether they are infected with the coronavirus.

But the results are rarely reported to public health departments, exacerbating the longstanding challenges of maintaining an accurate count of cases at a time when the number of infections is surging because of the Omicron variant.

At the minimum, the widespread availability of at-home tests is wreaking havoc with the accuracy of official positivity rates and case counts.

There is no comprehensive data on how many rapid tests are used every day, but experts say it is most likely far higher than the number of polymerase chain reaction, or P.C.R., tests, which are completed in a lab and require more time to deliver results, which are reported publicly as aggregate totals.

Both my mother and my mother-in-law got it mid-2020. No big deal. My mother is overweight and pushing 80. My MIL is a severe asthma case and pushing 75. Maybe you just have bad genes, Wilford?

And I wouldn't shut down the world over ANY of them, none the less you. Never in history have we sacrificed the young for the old. For every scared old man there are ten kids with speech delays and autism and a host of other things that are being dealt irreparable damage. There are families and futures ruined due to business closures. We've sewn division that isn't easy to fix and may lead to a civil war.

Sorry, boomers, your time is over. If it's this plague then so be it. Your generation should have walked gracefully into that good night long ago.

What a stupid comment


Telling seniors who may have two to 3 decades left they should have died is a pathetic comment .

Another one I will no longer converse with

That is both offensive and stupid. Do you really sit around letting those kind of thoughts stew in your brain or are you just trolling?
