You really don't think we have a lot more flu cases in the winter than we do in summer?

I got tested twice before I visited my family on Easter and Mother's Day... both negative.

But to your point, I do not test weekly. But considering the fact that I get VERY sick when I have the cold or flu, I'm fairly certain I will get very sick from Covid. I don't have any underlying condition where I feel I might get hospitalized for it, but I'm pretty sure I'll be sick in bed for a whole week.

This!!!!
Not a bad way to sum it up.

I took a covid test last weekend. I could've cheated, and passed the test, but then I got high.

Yes, we have flu spikes in the summer but they are just not reported. Covid is the same as the flu but just being overhyped in the news. This pandemic is a hoax and is just a way for the Democrats to gain control of us. Don't buy into this and never ever wear a mask again!

I have coworkers that were actually happy to get covid. Because then for the next 3 months they don't have to do the covid tests.

Both Jen Psaki and Savannah Guthrie both got Covid twice, not to mention that they are both vaccinated as well. So just because you got it once, it doesn’t mean you are Superman!

Never said that. I said they don't have to test again for 3 months.

How do you know it was because of the mask? You dont.

My wife and two little kids are all positive. Ive been home with them all week. Cleaning my daughters boogers as my son coughs and sneezes on me.

Guess what? Im still negative.

Sometimes people just dont get it.

But whatever helps your story.
