Of course everyone's going to get Covid. After over a year and a half, you can be sure it's already saturated the US and probably the world.

And it's simply not been the doomsday killing machine we were sold on it being.

I remember when NYC was getting prepared for it. Field hospitals were set up, a couple of military hospital ships were sent to the city, and people were wondering if all that would be enough.

Then people started getting sick, but not near as much as was anticipated. Field hospitals and the medical ships were little used. Then we started getting videos of hospital workers doing silly dance routines. Then hospitals started releasing people because they weren't making money.

A few places refused to lock down and make people wear masks, and after a while a few other places followed them.

Then came the riots, and while we normal people were threatened if we didn't mask up and all that, rioters and looters didn't have worry about that.

And other hypocrisies were done. People in power who constantly went on about how important it was that we little people follow all the protocols all the time didn't follow those protocols themselves.

Covid 19 has been the Y2K of plagues.

What we've learned is this: the virus can be bad for older people as well as people with other health issues. But for normal people, it may make them feel bad for a few days if they catch it, but it's not a serious danger. And it's almost a complete non-issue for young children.

And when it comes right to it, I'd much rather deal with Covid and anything it might do to me, than I would a government that thinks it has to play parent and doctor to a nation full of people.

Been following Dr John Campbell since March of last year, and now well, this is sobering news that he's been reading from, from his sources that with so many refusing to get vaccinated, that we'll continue in this cycle of variants and many hospitalizations that we are bound to get it.


That it's important to still important to get vaccinated that although there's now like a 50% chance of infection there's still 90% + that will be saved from severe disease and hospitalization. And that the unvaccinated will be doomed to near death or...death if they get infected with variants

That due to peoples' unwilling to be vaccinated, they are just perpetuating all this as this could have been prevented when vaccines came out....and herd immunity will never be achieved at THIS rate.
This entire pandemic time, I have refused to wear a mask, and avoid hand sanitizer. When staying at home was urged, I shopped more often. I have had no vaccine though verbally abused for not doing so. I trusted in my God and was not sick even once. Will I yield now? There is no chance.

I didn't get sick at all even when my own wife and our kid got the virus and had fevers and were sick a couple of days. I was right there face to face with them eating meals and more, no masks. We were all vaccinated beforehand.

I tested about 4 days after they got ill, and nothing, no detection. I never got sick. The belief had been that I'd would then have gotten the virus directly from them, close association for hours in a closed room, days in a row (it was Christmas time, and we were all together 24/7 for that time) of course, and then I would have had to battle it down also, just like them.

But I didn't even get a detectable level.

Since then we have learned, and it's now known medical fact, that some people (a small percentage) just seem to not be able to get the virus, never seem to have any detectible level of it even after strong exposures (like I had there).

Now, even though I seem immune (so far), I'd not tell others they should not get vaccinated.

They should get vaccinated.

They should get vaccinated.

You know what's ironic....this "New member" drums up this old post from last year, from the "Junk Drawyer", just to prove it's his "trust in God" that has kept him/her from getting sick. When low and behold, 3 days ago, I tested positive for Covid.

Here I am, staying at home, quarantining myself from my co-workers per HR's rules.

That is to say I guess the reason I got infected with Covid was because I have no trust in God? You're quite wrong if you think so.

and avoid hand sanitizer

Do you even wash your hands after using the bathroom? I'm curious.

Halbhh, yeah, I've heard these odd ball situations where people were in the same household, some people that got sick, others did not.

The Covid is that unpredictable.

Now, even though I seem immune (so far), I'd not tell others they should not get vaccinated.

Funny, after 2 1/2 years I thought I was immune, until I tested positive 3 days ago.

Right.

While I've in many posts explained here on CF that people should get vaccinated, and before that I used to explain why it was good to wear masks in numerous posts here, I think at the moment we are very lucky that the virus has mutated into a form that while still dangerous and deadly to some is less severe than Delta was, and has gotten even more infectious yet, so that even when we are vaccinated and careful, most everyone can expect to eventually get the virus...except the few that seem to have a genetic block against it or something. viz https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2022/07/why-some-people-never-get-covid/670929/

Also, 2 more people called out due to Covid the day after myself. This is happening all over.

Yes, I am a new member and your warm welcome is appreciated. As for digging up an old post, I am making my way through with what I deem as relevant information. Had I known it would provoke such paranoia, I would have skipped this one. I do not know you or anything about you so what makes you feel I am pointing fingers at you or anyone else?

Relevant to what?

Why not just start a new post, why drum up a post that was moved from whatever category I had it in before, to "The Junk Drawer"?

I'm not sure what makes you think that I feel you're pointing fingers. Not sure how you came up with that.

Question 1.) Relevant to the actual post.
Question 2.) If no one should be commenting further, the thread should no longer exist or should be locked from further comments.
Reread your reply and if you still can't figure out how I arrived at that conclusion, then read it a third time.

I'm still unvaccinated and people in my family and house have had it.
I never did that I know of. No symptoms at all.
The main complaint I hear is it takes awhile for some people to get back to full energy.
I think this thread is sooooooo last year. I am not sure we should be commenting on it.
