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

I remember a hospital shutdown. Nobody inside except employees and patients. No surgeries, not open to the public. Walking down wings all suited up the look in the nurses eyes cause that's all you could see and covid patients vitals and such sharpied on the room windows. And the big circle with the + in the middle indicating covid positive. I probably will never forget the atmosphere of it all. ED packed with patients all the rooms taken and patients lined down the hall. It was literally like I was in a horror movie but it was real.

It WAS quite surreal!

That's how it felt going to the grocery after they started lockdowns. Shelves empty, barely any people, everyone wearing masks, loud speaker reminding everyone to social distance. ...

I've had nightmares less disturbing than the hell we've been put through

Let's face it, after a pandemic 100 years ago, we learned nothing. But then we are so busy "monkeying" with history, we really don't learn it anyway.
So what's the end result? We repeat it at best and make it worse most likely. Under the cover of science we have been used as guinea pigs and many of us will never fully recover. (I am not talking about the number of people who have lost their lives). I am talking about people who have lost their livelihoods and families. Those of us who wake up every morning not knowing if we will feel okay or not be able to get out of bed.
All this scientific development that we have acquired in the last 100 years, and we are worse off than we were 100 years ago. One would think we were better off when it came to healing people. Well, we're not, we are just better at spinning the truth.
None of us know the real truth and probably never will. I certainly don't pretend to know.
I do however fear the next go round, whatever it may be and where ever it may come from. At the risk of sounding like a loose nut. I fear the people's best bet is to read Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. Take from it, the point that we must learn to take care of our selves and be willing to help our neighbors. If we don't all stand together against those who will take our jobs and money, and are unable to get together as a people, we are all on our way to expendability. Perhaps we have allowed too much to slide by already.
Learn to take advantage of taking proper care of farm animals and keeping eatable gardens, encourage your neighbors to do the same. it won't hurt if I am wrong and will help a great deal if " it comes to pass".
As an aside: veggies (most) can be kept in a pot to grow as can certain fruit baring trees.

It was.
I know it's just local but I got called in to go to the same hospital in the aftermath of ida. That was surreal aswell. But it was like the exact opposite of where the devastation was. Covid it was all inside ida it was all outside. And to see the generators running for an actual emergency as opposed to running tests. All the power lines and trees down. Entergy everywhere. Destruction everywhere then going home each day to deal with our own personal disaster.

It was crazy huh? Luckily we didn't really have to be out. Once again the pepper attitude worked. As all hell was breaking loose we was able to be in our home comfy while the shtf. And actually did not no practice laps.

This happened to all of us

Well today marks the third anniversary of the Fester Fest we have to call Covid-19.
Not saying there wasn't an illness going around, I was personally elbow deep in it until my body gave out last summer. Also not going into detail about the misdirection, looting and corruption it allowed. Just, "Beware the Ides of March."

I am totally disgusted by all the new info and no apology anywhere.

One of my family has been losing kidney function since having covid -at the rate of half of the remaining function in two months.

The doctor said he thinks it is due to covid. The time line fits.

We’re they vaccinated?
