I am just curious as to why people are getting tested still. I assume it’s mostly vaccinated people who are keen to test themselves if they feel sick or rundown because every un-V’d person I know has zero interest in this charade anymore even if they do catch some sickness.

Expand full comment

well, testing rates do seem to be down a lot, so far fewer are.

but a significant subset of people is locked in on this and will keep demanding it especially because they have been convinced that treatments like paxlovid and remdesivir work. (they don't. paxlovid may well make you worse)

this is such a severe lapse from FDA it's hard to wrap your head around.

I’m thinking testing is down because school is out. My local district had pool testing every day, and then individual testing if the pool failed. My college age kid tested twice a week. I have no idea if that will continue in the fall. As for why people still test, I tested a few months back because I knew my employer would ask. Otherwise, I wouldn’t.

it's down from annual highs based on seasonality but also down from same time last year.

so i think we're seeing both.

Gato is there some central repository for testing data that you access? It just seems that over the years (!!!) the testing has become as performative as masking, and about as useful. If one person tests 5 times, or 5 people test one time, each cohort resulting in a single "+" how is that a useful or indicative metric?

This isn't a dig at you or Eugyppius; what you do is critical! It's more of a blanket query.

Thank you!

I think testing is down because it is no longer free.

Isn’t testing “down” because its now done quietly at home? Thinking we don’t actually know the testing rate anymore?

Expand full comment

This is definitely the case in Europe. Not just it's not free, it's actually very difficult to find a test place. Also, most countries do not ask for a negative test anymore

(for travel), so demand is significantly lower.

Ooh good point. That may be a meaningful confounder

It would be nice to think people are just sick of all the testing, but in my neck of the woods, people test UNTIL they get a negative result once positive. Conversely, I know people who test until they get a positive result. I’m kinda a one and done person, myself. Of course, those are home tests that don’t get reported.

Doesn't seem to be too many regular colds or flu's going around these days.

I don't need to test, to know when I'm f'ing sick.

Exactly. I got sick for the first time in years late last December, two days of mild fever, then runny nose and cough, all better in a little over a week. I drank a lot of fluids, took one vitamin C and one zinc tablet, and took it easy for a couple of days. Same as I would have in the past. Why would I get a meaningless, essentially fraudulent, test when I knew full well I had a cold? I guess I could have named it Omicron, but I've never named my colds in the past--they say if you name it, you get attached to it, and I reserve that for my pets.

Around me (GA) nobody is testing! Those home tests are gathering dust at the stores, and nobody's clogging up the pharmacy drive-thru with PCR testing.

We used to have several drive thru testing sites here. Those are gone since they went to the Chinese home test. Businesses testing of employees, at least here, is virtually gone. Maybe the hospital still does it, but the 2 colleges here don't - at least for staff. Not sure about the kiddos.

Expand full comment

Mmmm, not sure about this analysis, Gato. Testing is down, and notably, asymptomatic testing is way down, so I'd expect a higher positivity rate to accompany diagnostic testing, rather than the constant blanket testing healthy people like last year.

Hence, I'm not sure your adjustment provides an apples to apples comparison. Still likely much higher rates than should be, but I would stick to hospital admissions, ICU and death to compare real covid, rather than the always highly suspect testing data, which was offered as a metric specifically because it was pliable.

Oh, the "vaccines" are working quite well - from a comment I made this last January:

Klaus Schwab and a lot of his buddies are pretty closely tied in to the Club of Rome. and one of the main concerns of this club is population which has grown beyond "carrying capacity". If you look at "Limits to Growth", published in 1972, it predicts depletion of important non-renewable resources - mainly fossil fuels. Mechanized agriculture is entirely dependent on fossil fuels - as is pretty much everything else. But it's food production which is the bottleneck. https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.apf.org/resource/collection/D414A95A-9CB5-46D5-A62E-565111D12CA9/2018-SE-APFCompassLimits-To-Growth.pdf

Capitalism is dependent on growth of capital, and this growth is exponential. The WEF people are really interested in economic growth - they really want to keep it going. Unfortunately, resources which fuel growth - fossil fuels, primarily - are finite and being depleted. Once used, they're gone. So exponential growth has a limit point. And population growth is directly correlated to growth in energy use, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZA9Hnp3aV4

So, to keep things going in the way the WEF people want, population growth would have had to be controlled - capped - by, say, 1980. That didn't happen, population has at least doubled since then. So, by this argument, and with this set of facts, population has to be reduced. And growth has to be capped. And the question is, how?

Global nuclear war would do the trick, but the people who run the WEF really don't want that - nor does any sane person - which at this point, includes very few people from the US/EU ruling class, or so it would seem - Ukraine, anyone?

So there has to be another way to get this done. A drug which kills people, not outright for the most part, but over a period of about five years, and which sterilizes children before they reach reproductive age, that would do the trick. If you could get 80% of the world's population to voluntarily take this drug, within about 5 years, the problem would be a long way down the road to a solution. And you'd want to selectively kill off non-productive, non-creative populations - the "woke", the people with "bullshit jobs" - trimming deadweight, so to speak. Unfortunately, you can't really get people to voluntarily take such a drug or give it to their children, at least under normal circumstances.

So, you have to create abnormal circumstances - like a worldwide pandemic - and the drug is the "vaccine"... And that would work. And maybe it has.

Peak oil is bullshit just like the Covid test authored by the same miscreants. We have enough petrochemicals to last beyond the next extinction level event. Peak electricity will be real in months.

Furthermore electric vehicles of the same range as typical gas vehicles actually create more CO2 before we even start to calculate the impact of using more coal due to increased electricity demand.

You can do it without mass infertility, but mass infertility is a phenomenon of developed civilizations even without elites actively attempting to cause it.

You can't do it without slaughter. You want to rethink "everything," you're going to come up against the large amount of people who don't. Eventually, everyone stops asking nicely.

This is how these things work.

I can't escape those who want the world to be yellow. They can't escape those who want the world to be blue (though they try to by censoring, suppressing, and terrorizing). Neither of us will be satisfied with green.

"Capitalism is dependent on growth of capital, and this growth is exponential."

capitalism is dependent on the growth of capital. however, capital (savings from production) is not growing. debt is growing (exponentially) and masking the destruction of capital (declining savings). the vast majority of economists do not understand the difference between savings and debt.

that is why we are in the predicament we are in right now.

Expand full comment

My observation too. It seems counterintuitive. Presumably people got vaccinated so as to be ‘protected’, so it is to be expected such a person would be least likely to attribute every sniffle or sneeze to CoVid, yet it appears the reverse is true - they are more sensitised and keep testing. (And self-isolating.)

Similarly, if you realise the vax isn’t working, then you should be less likely to get another one, but the more vaxxed and particularly the ones that got CoVid anyway are more keen for yet another dose.

Addiction ingredient a Possibilty???? Dead Serious!

Expand full comment

You know, that thought ran through my mind. Maybe not addiction per se but fashionable habit or ritual. Or maybe the way some people believe that if you have an X-ray it somehow cures you.

Also there is a tremendous amount of publicity these days around screening tests (££££££/$$$$/€€€€) for this and that, so I wonder if there is an element of that in people’s minds, that they should test regularly for CoVid, because it’s what you should do to look after your health.

And don’t let’s start about the ritual hand-sanitising in shop entrances. I’m sure if you told the idiots to dab a bit behind each ear and throw a pinch over their left shoulder they would.

I think it’s more compulsive behavior. People resort to rituals when feeling anxious and out of control. And since they’ve bought the narrative hook line and sinker, they believe the only tools available to exert control is testing, masking, and vaxing, regardless of what they can see with their own eyes. It is very similar to any other addictive behavior, just without the substance, in my opinion.

Some people are tested merely because it's protocol to get into the emergency room at a hospital. Others might be driven to getting tested out of curiosity. And yes, then there are requirements by employers.

Expand full comment

It depends where you are. Here in the UK there is no requirement to test and health passes were abandoned months ago.

Yet people still keep testing. It is of course quite illogical. A person has Cold/‘flu-like symptoms and tests. It’s negative, so they go about their normal lives. It’s positive, they self-isolate.

So giving others the Common Cold/‘flu and its symptoms is OK if it is any virus other than CoV 2.

Expand full comment

That's because they've been trained to believe that COVID is deadly but they know the common cold is not. Most people don't know that the flu can be deadly.

Expand full comment

You are right: propaganda + ignorance = fear.

The Common Cold too is deadly in ‘vulnerable’ people as it ends up as the same thing, pneumonia. In fact any infection is deadly for elderly people with comorbidity.

Expand full comment

The illogic of it is what I didn't understand. So wait, you want me to get tested for Covid. If I test positive you want me to self isolate for a disease that has a .14% death rate? Not only that you potentially want me to remember who I came in contact with, report them, and then have them also self-isolate? How about no.

Pre-Covid, we encouraged people to go about daily activities regardless of being symptomatic. Cold and Flu treatment commercials were all about that. You see in the first "before" scene the person lying in bed, red faced, can barely breathe. Then they take Sudafed, Dayquil, or some other cold and flu treatment and they are bussing their kids to soccer practice, attending recitals, and going to movies. Which makes them patient zero for a superspreader event...if they had Covid.

I have friends who look on people who are sick with suspicion if they go out to restaurants and bars. But I don't. I expect people to act foolishly at times. Like that one guy who decides to go to a movie and is hacking and coughing all the way through it. Sure, he should out of consideration to others, stay home. But I am not going to turn that into a government mandate

Expand full comment

Yeah, if we (collectively) would have told the fraudulent 'experts' to shove it and used the chance to teach and/or remind other people of basic common sense, we could have hammered home "if you're sick, stay home" for *ANY* communicable disease -- C19, cold, flu, etc., -- and we'd have actually gotten some small benefit from this insanity.

So of course we made sure not to do the smart thing.

Expand full comment

Good points. The only one I would add is that a person who knows he's sick with an upper respiratory infection, especially when symptoms first appear (most contagious) optimally would stay home, isolated, take care of himself, not only to reduce the risk of spreading to others, but simply because his body will likely fight the infection better/he'll recuperate faster. I realize to be able to so pamper oneself like this might be impractical for any number of reasons but still should be done when possible.

The pro-testing crowd is all for this, because it's a win win situation for them. Just merely making the test mandatory sends a message "This virus is serious."

I am with you there. The only thing they almost had statistics on is that for some months the injections mitigated some of the more severe symptoms. The only problem I have with that is "How do they know for sure?" I need to see quantifiable data that proves that the vaccinated have an advantage over the unvaccinated.

The problem is, how can one quantify a disease where only a very small percentage of people end up hospitalized for it and an even smaller percentage end of up dying. The problem is the media and government has primed the population to think that Covid means imminent danger. They have a very unrealistic view of what happens if they get infected. Ask the average person the statistics on how likely they will be hospitalized with Covid, and the answers are insane.

I'm unvaxxed. Had original COVID (mild) in November 2020. Tested b/c work asked us to. Got what I assume was omicron (a runny nose & a couple of menopause-like night sweats) in January 2022. We were already doing a 6-week stint of work-from-home, so I didn't bother testing. Had a semi-quantitative antibody test done 2-3 weeks after symptoms resolved, and antibodies were at the top of the reference range. The last time I had had one done, I think 8-9 months after the first round of COVID, antibodies were low but detectable.

I got the bug this past winter (unvaxxed). It could have been delta for all I know because it was freakishly nasty (like a flu on roids). Got tested (after a week or so) but I knew it was IT anyway, because it was like nothing I've had before. Took a good 6 weeks to fully recover.

Recently got it again. Well, if you can even call it that. I felt a little crummy, with scratchy throat some sniffles and fatigue for no more than a day. Then found out that 2 of my coworkers had come down with it (for the 2nd time) and had called out sick. I didn't bother testing. If it's less than a cold, what's the point?

What’s the #1 issue we face? The systems that govern our lives are corrupted. It’s like having a hacked computer with a virus. The other problems are just programs running on a broken system. None of them matter until we fix the corruption.

The #1 issue is governments have too much power to interfere in our lives...

You have the anarchy symbol. That could mean a few things. To me it means “no ruler” but not “no government.”

The key to a beautiful society under anarchy is a trustworthy system for decentralization. Trust of the system must exist before any form of government is tried. If the system can be corrupted then no type of government will ever work for the people. Ever.

Possibly, but the only way to get things back is to make sure the system isn’t corrupted. If you want to shrink the size of government you cannot do that unless the system of government is protected against corruption. Our system is not. You can’t get from A to B without violence unless you use decentralization and transparency to combat the corruption first. Otherwise Ludwig, it will get ugly.

There is another way. The plan is here: https://joshketry.substack.com/p/do-we-need-to-re-infiltrate-our-own

gato's first law:

"as soon as politicians are allowed to determine that which is bought and sold, the first thing bought and sold will be politicians,"

i see no way to have a system this powerful and keep it uncorrupt.

i think that way seems uptopian. "we'll just get better people next time and they'll be smarter and more virtuous and resist the temptation."

the track record on that is poor.

meet the new despot, same as the old despot.

If you look at the Germany data Eugyppius reported on, the region of Saxony (apparently not to be confused with "Old Saxony") has the lowest injection uptake rate and lower incidence of infection. I think we need to study those former East Germans. Eugyppius posits that they are inured to German propoganda.

I’ve always thought Dr. Mullis’s death was too timely to be from “natural causes”. None of this could have happened had he been alive to refute the misuse of the PCR tests.

It would have been a lot more difficult to ignore the claim the test is not suitable for finding infections. Coming from its inventor, a nobel laureat who would have definitely attacked the authorities for using it as such.

IVM's inventor the Nobel, is sti on the WHO's most indespensible meds list and still it's discredited. Malone is discredited for refuting use of his own mRNA tech. Mullis would have faced the same fate. Nothing would stop this train from taking out Bad Orange Man and installing Xiden and his corrupt power abusers.

Yes, I know he invented PCR & was a brilliant spark, and that he was vehemently against PCR being used as it has been - but I had to go and look it all up to find out his concerns; it wasn't exactly front page news even when he was alive. The fact is, he was already being suppressed in the media whilst alive: because he had views that differed from 'mainstream'.

And if he was alive, surely after 2 years the media would just not print his words anymore...or they'd make up some crazy story about him being a paedophile or an alien chaser or the like; ANYTHING to discredit him. Just so they could use his test incorrectly, because they NEEDED that to initially boost the cases and the FEAR! In fact, for TPTB, it was probably best if he was dead, then they could do what they liked with PCR...

Also, PCR has been used for MANY YEARS for HIV, and even in Australia, they've been using PCR for Influenza since 2005 I think. Stupid way to test and it gives stupid results!

No-one paid his outbursts any attention...unless of course you were looking for them...and they are not the people TPTB are trying to sway...

All true.

Great post

He was already under attack way before covid hit the scene.

Expand full comment

For the main part, it was because he didn't believe that HIV existed, and that his PCR tests shouldn't have been used to test for HIV.

He was also an outdoorsy, zany kind of guy who would just think things up! An original thinker, he also surfed, liked astrology and was curious about such things as alien visits & ESP. In many ways, he's probably not too different from me or many others on this substack (except I have not invented anything nor do I surf, ha ha)!

Basically, he was not a sheep; he didn't follow the mainstream views (even scientific sometimes i.e. he questioned things) and was certainly not your typical 'scientist' or 'chemist'!! He was super bright and quite original :-)

I'm guessing if he'd not invented PCR he'd not have come to the attention of the authorities. Sometimes life is better when you DON'T have the Eye of Sauron on you!

That's just wrong.

There's plenty of real scientists who don't believe the climate is going to kill us all in 10 years (again) and they get no mainstream airtime and places like the BBC have a policy now that does not allow them to do so on their platform.

How much mainstream airtime has Dr Malone got, the man who claims he invented mrna tech?

Hmm, oh that's right none apart from on that 'right wing conspiracy' channel Fox for 5 minutes on Tucker.

Exactly!

The establishment do not need to literally kill anyone these days.

They 'kill' people off with smears and deplatfoming and it has the added bonus of making sure people always associate the smears about the person should they comment on future issues, not just covid.

But people love their 'Clinton kill count' memes too much to think clearly.

I've often wondered if the actual goal of the jabs was to put everyone on an endless hamster wheel of testing positive. Not be actually sick, just always need to 'test' to gain entry into public life. The QR Code hell did not get installed, not in the US at least, but here we are. I sense they're moving on to Phase Deux which is financial tyranny.

A while back I was waiting in line at my local gas station when I saw a display of Covid test kits. Out of curiosity I picked up one and started reading the instructions. They were very interesting. They said that if you first test negative, test again! Endless hamster wheel is correct. By the way earlier this spring I had a sore throat, a deeper cough than usual, so I called in to work, drank some Baileys Irish Cream and went to bed to sleep it off. 24 hours later I was fine. No testing.

So. As I read through this, and through Eugyppius's East-West Germany comparison, and many others, my thoughts turn towards: what are we to make of this?

I look to my personal world of employment, loved ones, highly-vaxxed community, and I note several things:

- every single person I know and care about in real life has been at least doubly jabbed, and most are triple jabbed. A few are quadruple-jabbed.

- there are severe shortages of employees for all occupations here, and this is impacting service, wait times, and starting salaries are much higher than they were even a year ago. Still, the positions are unfilled.

- many people I know are sick a LOT with cold/flu-like symptoms. They test positive for COVID. The illness seems to be mild or moderate -- not hospitalization-worthy.

- despite these apparent rises in salaries, inflation is impacting consumption. Everyone talks about the high prices at restaurants and at the pump, and how they are reducing consumption. Yet, you would think under these circumstances people would be taking these jobs and we would not have personnel shortages.

- I'm as healthy as I've ever been; I've never had a flu, shingles, pneumonia nor COVID jab. I've never had a COVID swab-up-the-nose test (or any other COVID test). I'm healthier than pretty much everyone I know, and I am not a young person.

I think frequently about my jabbed loved ones, including my adult children, siblings, parents, close friends and wonder if I will outlive them all. I wonder if I will ever have grandchildren. I wonder if my loved ones will still live long -- but sickly -- lives. None of them have woken up; if a 5th jab were available today, they would line up to roll up their sleeves.

Bottom line: I read and digest things like this, and I want to make predictions for the future -- both the wider world and my small little corner of it. This is one of the primary reasons I try to keep abreast of what all of the data nerds are hypothesizing.... I want to prepare myself and make good decisions for myself, and I wish I could get through to loved ones (but can't, so far).... at the very least, bracing myself for catastrophic changes in my personal sphere.

While also trying very hard to keep spirits up and be optimistic. This is a tall order!

It's looking like we have not seen the worst of what this could be, yet. We have not yet determined if the number of cases which correlate to damaged herd immunity will translate to more "SADS" in the near future, or if it will be "merely" having a lot of mild reinfections. We do not yet know for sure if enough people will wake up, connect the dots, and stop the media and officials from pushing this false , genocidal narrative. If people will refuse any more jabs and tests. It's not over yet.

Expand full comment

Whilst I understand your want for hope/optimism, Dani, I think it's a bit late for any more people to be waking up. If they're jabbed to the hilt, they can't exactly be physically saved, can they? They've already dug their own grave. Now it's just a matter of when they fall into it.

Mentally and emotionally, however, they can choose to save themselves (although I think that's highly unlikely now because most people have put their two feet firmly in one camp or the other by now), but it won't save their bodies. That's my prediction, anyway. The people with weaker immune systems will fall first (people of varying ages, probably, but it's more likely to be the older people dropping off first), the younger ones MAY survive, but with weak systems. And in the future, who will want to breed with them (assuming some can), who can play sport with them, who can go out to crowded places with them or even hit the town with them? So a SAD life indeed for these kids as they grow up - and many without their parents. The younger people getting jabbed now are highly unlikely to reach anywhere near old age IMO.

In just 2-3 years' time we could look back and think THESE were the good times! I know that sounds very pessimistic, but as a Chiropractor with 16 years under my belt, the things I've observed since the covid jab rollout has me quaking in my boots. You may very well have the unenviable position of watching all that you care about and everyone that you love fall down around you.

Let's hope it's not that bad, though. I guess if one imagines the worst, anything better than that is an improvement, right?!?!?

As for me, I'm just trying to take one day, or perhaps just one week at a time right now. What's done is done. Yes, DNA may have been altered. Yes, lots of people are sick. Yes, it's bad. But we're not all dead and there are still almost 8 billion of us at last count, so even IF infertility becomes a huge issue, well, as a species, we've got plenty of fat on the land. We can afford to lose plenty of silly ones who intentionally disabled their intuition. Life will find a way.

In the meantime, I have places to be, things to do and people to see!

C'est la vie, my friend!

What are some of the things you are seeing in your chiro practice, Robyn?

Expand full comment

About 95% of my patients signed up for the covid poison - after I counselled them not to! Maybe I should've done reverse psychology, but I think the outcome would've been the same. At least this way I have a clear conscience.

Anyway, one man in his 60s was helicoptered to hospital after his AZ covid injection and literally had a pile of blood clots cut out of his body. Lost about 20kg and eventually came good enough to go on to have more covid injections...

I noticed that almost every patient who'd been jabbed within the last couple of months appeared ashen. Not just a little pale. Ashen. That's not good. The hilarious thing was most of them said they felt fine! I was starting to really worry at this point. Usually when someone is ashen, they are about to die from cancer, or they're about to faint or their oxygen/iron levels are abysmally, scarily low.

MANY patients who got jabbed got covid...and they usually had quite a few symptoms, too. And for many of them it took them weeks to recover, not days.

Quite a few patients had energy loss, even people who were normally energy bunnies.

I struggled with adjusting some long-term patients in that they were still in pain post-adjustment, but their tissues felt right to me. All I could assume was that they had excessive bodily inflammation from the ACE2 receptors being used by the spike protein from their recent covid injections.

Another man in his 60s got Guillain-Barre syndrome post-AZ. He improved but still suffered permanent injuries. His wife refused to have her 2nd shot & they refused to jab the kids. Sensible.

I had 2 patients in their 70s come down with nasty cases of shingles just weeks after their (2nd & booster) covid injections.

I had a patient go to hospital with 'migraines' which had never happened to her before, post-covid injection & with her looking ashen.

A lady had a horrid pregnancy and a long and arduous labour having had 2 relatively good pregnancies & births beforehand - she'd had 2 injections whilst pregnant (@ 3 months & 6 months I think).

There are probably way more but that's just off the top of my head.

Also, some of these patients wore masks in daily life - not all, but some. That will also negatively affect the oxygen/CO2 ratio and could be the cause for some of the energy issues.

But 16 years in the job and I never knew how stupid people truly were, Dani!

I've since quit my job....I'll go back, but just having some time out at present. Enjoying the time off, I can tell you!

I also only knew of THREE pregnancies in the whole of last year. For me, that's totally whacked out. Normally I'd have a bunch of pregnant patients and heaps of bubs...but for some reason, it just didn't happen last year. I also saw almost zero new babies or pregnant mums in the streets. 2021 was a weird year alright.

Expand full comment

Wow. Thank you for this detail, Robyn. I've also noticed changes in the complexions of my friends and coworkers who have been jabbed.... though, to me, I have thought their skin looks waxy -- almost like they've been embalmed, if that makes any sense. Something off and unnatural about it.

When I said before that I am trying to hold onto optimism, quite honestly it is partly my nature and partly a deliberate survival mechanism. I had some very rough months, psychologically and spiritually, from about September 21 until about March 22. This had to do with the massive pressure by society and loved ones for me to get jabbed, and with the societal reinforcement to require proof of vaccination to do anything social, and hearing my loved ones (many who did not know my status) speak openly and with such hatred about how unvaccinated people are selfish and SHOULD be punished by being shunned and shut out of participation in society.

Now that Omicron came, and most people have caught one fairly mild version of COVID, quite a few have relaxed, mask mandates have gone away (temporarily?), and some vaccine mandates have gone away. It is NOT OVER YET. But I am coping better.

I realized that I do want to survive, and in order to do that I require some sense of hope/optimism (even if artificially, deliberately created through self-hypnosis) and I require some type of action or project or plans which I take steps to achieve. Something I create, something I look forward to. Because a part of me distinctly realizes that the worst case scenario might happen: everyone I know and love in this world may die from their jabs, and I may have to start over (at not a young age!) with a group of similarly-minded strangers.

I don't know. These are the thoughts I have.

I appreciate your sharing what you have observed and experienced. I can understand your taking time away.

Expand full comment

ThankYOU for sharing! I think you're being sensible and at least considering what might happen, and how you might approach things. A lot of people on our side still have their head in the sand. I prefer to take the bull by the horns. No point in not knowing.

It's not nice when people want the unjabbed to die, or call them nasty names, and get really downright horrid about it. Especially happening right in front of your face! You must've felt like you were consorting with the enemy! Imagine if they found out!! You poor thing.

My major struggle was from June last year until about February this year. My cat died last July (she was almost 19) and THAT was the worst thing that has happened to me in a very long time. I still cry for her. I took a month off work. But covid shit was flaring up at that time and we were also getting the house painted. It was all very stressful! So finishing work was a GOOD thing for me this year.

Just recently I have also gotten more clear-headed about my future, and I honestly don't desperately care what happens in the world. I have my own things that I'm doing, and so I'm not switching off, but just not excessively worrying, shall we say, about the rest of the world. Like you, I've done enough balancing in my mind, and I think there comes a time where you just have to bite the bullet. If a few things fall down around me, I'm prepared. If things battle onwards, I'm prepared. If things remain OK, I'm prepared. If worst case scenario happens, well, I've at least thought about it! I won't say ANYONE would be truly prepared for that! :-D

But yes, I agree that it's not much fun to consider one might have to 'start again' with a group of similarly-minded people - but they would still effectively feel like strangers. It's not the warmest feeling, but hey, at least you know they won't be trying to guillotine you!

But you are very right - it is NOT over yet. So I say just get on with your life, do what YOU want to do, make it the life YOU want it to be, and hang the rest of 'em! EVERYONE needs to leave covid behind. We really should try to start a trend here ;-)
