The Coronavirus thread

Quote: rxwine

Just checking if evenbob got the Monkey Pox yet, being as how sensitive he was to catching coronavirus practically before anyone else in the US. He's like the canary in the coal mine.

I’m going on a cruise soon, and on one of the port stops there is an excursion where you can go play with sloths and monkeys. People are canceling because they are afraid they’ll get monkey pox. 🤦‍♂️

That is why I do my political discussions on this forum. I don't want to be around people with small minds in person. Don't want to get smallpox.

I love having in person discussions because I want to see the face of the person as I show them why they are wrong about everything.

But you are ready to die and don't worry about smallpox ;-)

I can honestly say that I have never thought about smallpox. I am not saying that I am ready to die, but there is nothing wrong about planning and accepting circumstances. With the number of cigarettes that I have smoked on this vacation, the end is probably near.

Scott Adams went to see a movie yesterday and realized that this is the first time he'd been in the crowd in 2 years. He wondered if he should be wearing a mask even though he's totally against wearing masks. He was sitting there watching the movie realizing that he didn't feel well that his body aches all over. He went home and took a test and he had covid. And because almost nobody in the theater was wearing a mask he probably gave it to a whole bunch of other people cuz it was a long movie. He says last night might be the one the worst nights of his life he was in so much pain. High temperature shaking chills. Today he's doing much better. It's quite ironic that he's one of the 'we are now back to normal people' and he gets covid and goes to a movie. I have not backed off one bit to me this is far from over. The Press just isn't covering it anymore because people are tired of hearing about it. I'm going to Lowe's in a few minutes for a curbside pickup because I don't go into stores anymore.

Gavin Newsom governor of California has covid. It's not that he or anybody else is going to die oh, it's a long-lasting after effects of covid that are the big deal. You never know what you're going to be. Loss of taste, permanent fatigue, loss of sense of smell, and a bunch of others. I have the fatigue 2 years later it's still affecting me.

More likely you're a great grandpa.

Totally different than the fatigue you get as you get older. With covid it hit me like a ton of bricks overnight and it abated as I got better but it never went away. I have to take two naps a day now, my life is scheduled around these naps because I have no choice. My energy runs down like a watch and at a certain time I have to take a nap. My doctor says he hears this all the time from covid survivors and a lot of them are much younger than I am and they can barely make it through a work day.

Gavin Newsom governor of California has covid. .

See the photos of his meeting with Jacinda Ardern. Not a mask to be seen.
Covid's not gone away: They treated it with disdain: It bit his arse.

Why is it even news?

Quote: Gavin Newsom

I’m following health guidelines and will be isolating while I work remotely.

Bit bloody late now, Gavin.
