Is anyone else tired of all these "So and So Has Covid" threads.

My reaction: "So what?" (And, btw, I don't care who has it, Democrat or Republican!)

I think i had a sinus infection in January 2022, my illness wasn't diagnosed.

The doctor said my covid test, ekg, blood test, oxygen level were all good and told me to use nasal spray, I felt much better one week later. I guess i would need antibody testing to determine if I've had asymptomatic covid, but I isolate, only go out when necessary with an N95, and don't let anyone in my home without a mask.

Turns out, when we say 'natural immunity' what we're talking about is antibodies or Tcells (adaptive immunity) but there is innate immunity, which is our first line of defense, and for healthy people it's very very good.
I'll read it. I read many of your posts and some are quite hysterical, lol.

It's only a matter of time before Sleepy Joe gets it too.

Wasn't Val wearing her mask?!?
I am doubting many of these high level Dems really have it. I am thinking they are going to announce Joe has it and that he has long Covid and take him out. He SAID if he got a health problem, he wouldn't run.

Yes, but they are really a result of this still being "news".

Although by now it is just more pushing of the vaccine narrative. Because with every press release we seem to also get the inevitable "They are experiencing minor symptoms and are fully vaccinated and boosted". Optionally we may get a statement praising the vaccine.

Just for the vegetable himself, not the rest of us.
