Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

Oh Lord, you should have heard the things I've had to put up with: Getting a microchip implanted while vaccinated, my DNA was being changed, vaccinated people were transmitters of disease and so forth. I've lost a lot of friends from Covid. One was vaccinated the others were not. The vaccinated one was an obese, diabetic, alcoholic who refused to limit her exposure and travelled North to see friends. She was exposed and returned home to die from complications of Covid. Sadly, a few of the folks she visited also died from Covid. Now I don't have many friends alive. Years ago I remember my mother telling me how alone she felt since she out-lived most of her friends. I now know how she felt.

Covid is not gone. Covid will never be gone. Hopefully it will attenuate.

Unfortunately I think you are correct... praying it ends up being like the flu that doesn't make most people deathly ill

Sorry for your loss.

I guess more appropriately "now that no one cares about it anymore"

Not accurate either.

 

[Ninjasquirrel]

I didn't say accurate. I said appropriate. Mask mandates are lifted. Stuffs back open. Covid isn't news anymore...Russia is. Ukraine is. Sure covid isn't going completely away but it's latest strain isn't a concern to the average American.

Only those who haven't lost friends or loved ones or those not permanently impaired are not concerned. I have a friend going for a cardiac assessment tomorrow. Common sense is still essential.

Common sense has always been essential. I freaking hate sitting at a red light because some idiot isn't paying attention. You have one freaking job right now and that's driving. I had to go through all those cardiac tests so I empathize with your friend. They aren't fun and they're scary. I almost lost a loved one to covid. But there was a bright side. His covid and subsequent pneumonia lead to the doctors discovering he has CLL Leukemia. He's currently undergoing treatment. He's 92 years old. 92 and he beat Covid. His wife is 86...she beat Covid. Im sympathetic to those who lost love ones but we didn't have the treatments we do now. We can treat covid now and treat it properly. Please don't think I'm not sympathetic because I don't think covid is a big deal anymore. Covid upped my anxiety and made it so I had to find a proper treatment to lower my BP. I've been through hell this past half year and I still don't have all the answers. Everything is one day at a time
