We had a "once in a hundred year" event less than 3 years ago.
What makes you think something like that goes away because you got a couple of vaccinations?
These are WORLD CHANGING events. They shape life for generations to come. And it was less than 3 years ago.
@Theresa_Chapple Oh, there will be VERY lasting changes
I forsee mandatory mask mandates with mandatory jail time for failure. Just like Drunk Driving. It will become a moral and legal crusade.
It just takes a long time to make an Elephant change direction but once changed, get out of the way
HIV epidemic in the 80's changed how we have sex, making sex with condoms the norm.
Over 1 million people died in the US from COVID, with an unknown number of those disabled by it. Yet, there will be no lasting behavioral change, policies, or funding. Heck, in some places
@AndreaBuono6@Feisty_Waters Be careful. No heavy liftiing. I'm not joking.
In 3-6 months maybe their blood vessels will be a little better shape.
Never, ever, ever get Covid again. No 2nd chances.
@Feisty_Waters I feel the same, the more posts I see about young people dropping dead of cardiac arrest I get more and more scared. I am a mom, both my kids have had Covid and my husband also but I haven’t yet. The thought of losing any one of them to this is horrifying.
All these long covid and sudden death stories are freaking me the fuck out and I truly don’t get how many people are just like, okay with this reality?
@heartembrace@Feisty_Waters He needs to slow down. Don't be an fool. His blood vessels are all shredded and ready to pop any time.
Exercise in that case is insane. He could die.
However, I am not a doctor.
@Feisty_Waters You should be freaked out.
It's a civilizational-level disaster. It's like a forest fire...all the animals big and small run for their fricking lives. They don't worry about predator or prey. Just run. Pure fear, for good reason.
@zhang_yueting One-way masking is useless
So sorry about your wife. Covid is almost impossible to avoid without full isolation. A room full of 100 kids - forget it. You're doomed.
My daughter’s friend, 16, had a mini stroke a few days ago and can’t move half of her body. The Drs believe it could’ve been caused by a virus. Any viruses out there besides Covid that could have resulted in this? Unbelievable.
@ProfKarolSikora 100% wrong.
The damage we are recovering from is post-Covid damage to hundreds of millions of people who were encouraged to get Covid.
Immune system damage from Covid
Blood vessel and organ damage from Covid
Shame on you!
The negative health consequences of lockdowns will continue to force millions into suffering.
It will go on for far longer than any restriction, with only the tip of the iceberg now revealed. It will take decades to recover from, many won't.
Some say 'move on' - I say, no.
As I care for the flood of kids in clinic with non-covid respiratory viruses, I take the opportunity to educate parents on immunity debt, aka learning loss of the immune system, aka why we should never lock kids out of school and child care for months to years, ever again.
@ebennett74 Immunity debt is 100% wrong
The non-Covid respiratory illnesses you describe, are in fact caused by Covid, which has damaged their immune systems and allowed them to catch other diseases.
Please grow up and stop posting this nonsense.
@Inadarkwood No, the message is even worse:
"We don't care about the lives of our children or ourselves. We are so spoiled that we are willing to kill off our entire family, rather than miss some of our party time"
That is much more depressing for me.
Ninety percent of the world have been brainwashed into thinking covid is mild. Only a handful of us oh and most people who work in healthcare, know its not.
How did we get here.
The reason why I am bullish on a GOP pivot on COVID.
The GOP can rally around US government coverup and corruption and a Chinese engineered virus. They can say “if we only knew” and they would be right.
Their base is malleable if an enemy is clearly articulated.
@BroadwellJim@AmandaBalleng99@GilleyBraggcjoy@Theresa_Chapple Bro, this flat earth level nonsense. Literally right in front of you there are 100s of millions people who have it. You see all of them struggling? And the point remains you will still get it. It ain't going anywhere. So get ready.
my niece is a teacher's assistant at an elementary school. She called me to ask me a question, a question broke my heart. "How many times am I going to get COVID Auntie?"
I had no answer for her. All I can do is mail her better masks. COVID + twice already this school yr.
