Most of the people only think about COVID because they are forced to submit proof of vaccination, negative test, wear a mask for mundane daily activities, can't travel

because borders are closed, can't go to work because their business collapsed, etc.

After 19 months, I don't know anybody (or met anybody randomly) who had COVID.

In the US, the swine flu (H1-N1) pandemic only ended when CDC finally stopped counting cases and publishing results. If you never heard of COVID and didn't know it existed, how long

would it take you to figure out there's a disease out there?

We know for a fact that 2.1% of blood donations from WA/OR had covid antibodies -- in December 2019. That's 4 months before we do ANYTHING to slow the curve. Holiday travel. Basketball season. Flu season.

We didn't notice the virus until it swept through nursing homes in February.

I don't know a single person who's gotten covid. I know of 4 who vaxxed. 1 died within a week, 1 now has cancer, 1 is in a weird mental state (altho that could just be weird Maine humor) & 1 was ok last time I saw her.

The last is a nurse who had drunk the koolaid. I was able to resuscitate her somnolent critical thinking with a simple question: Would that cloth mask protect against measles. She replied with long, deer in headlights stare, then whispered "no."

I followed up with "Would that mask protect against tb?" She was now awake & gave a firm "No."

I didn't see her for several weeks. When I did it was clear she had stayed awake, so I directed her to the Salk Institute report

I know a few folks who had it and recovered just fine. I don’t know people who were hospitalized or died.

I have a health care aid friend. Her uncle died of Covid. My accountant spent 3 months in the hospital with Covid. I have 4 friends who recovered from Covid. One was really sick. He stayed at home and recovered in 6 weeks. BUT he had chronic respiratory problems even before Covid. My niece's mother was pretty tired for a couple of months after getting vaccinated. I know at least 20 people who got vaccinated with no problems. All of them think I'm nuts.
