We have to live again.

Some people will die by tripping on a crack in the sidewalk and busting their head.

Doesn't mean we need to stay inside with the shutters drawn.
This really does happen. A friends wife fell while jogging, and ended up dying of internal bleeding the next day...

Life can change in an instant....so live every one like it could be your last.

In the last month, we have been to the ER once, two different dentists x3 visits, the eye doc twice, and two different visits to the pediatrician earlier this year. No masks for us. And no vaccines. The horrors! I’m pretty sure we had it over 4th of July weekend and it was a couple days of misery as it went through the house (family of 7) but nothing to be fearful of. I refuse to live in fear. We have tried to keep as normal a life as possible but that’s been hard when everyone around us are fearful and/or fearmongers. I’m totally over it.

The hospitalization and fatality rates were stunning.

Nearly every state put restrictions in place. Some of the restrictions were seriously goofy.

Covid, like all disease, does not care about petty partisanship.
You totally missed the point. The people who died were largely people at death’s door anyway. Not to mention the extreme unreliability of death reports and tests.

Go to the doctor and ask for Paxlovid. You will be required to get a positive test first. If all goes well, you'll start feeling a lot better as soon as the day after starting Paxlovid.

Once again, why are hospitals and medical clinics still expecting people entering to wear masks? When I went to my clinic complaining about a positive covid test, I was put in a room away from the main area for patients. The nurse and doctor who saw me both wore not one but two masks. Anyway, I hope I'm immune for a good while and so won't be wearing any mask where not required.

I'm also skeptical about Paxlovid. People who are taking that are getting Covid rebound. I think Fauci himself had that happen to him.

Don't be surprised if that becomes the norm. Why should medical facilities be the places where people are exposed to viruses? Most people in medical facilities understand how this works.

I had it once, briefly, and that is it.............but it feels like I have
been plagued by it for years.

Hello, we demand you do worthless masking, social-distance and shiver...........oh yeah,
you WILL take shot after worthless shot of the slapdash concoction.

You are exposed to viruses everywhere.

Around 10% of your DNA is due to viruses. Despite the name (comes from Latin for poison) viruses are nature’s way of passing genes between individuals and are not to be feared but rather embraced.
