Coronavirus (No politics)

Omicron is the sniffles. Move on people good grief

Almost sent me to the hospital 2 nights when my fever stayed in the 102.5-9 range. Dropped to 101 and stayed there for about 5 days. Finally going back to work tomorrow after 12 days off.

Only because it doesn’t fit the narrative. If this dude had died from the virus it would’ve been front page news everywhere. But when it’s vaccine related, it’s swept under the rug, explained away, and ignored.

It is sad what happened become of this country

No… you are looking for something to back up YOUR NARRATIVE.

If it was backed up by medical evidence it would certainly make more news. The saying goes “if it bleeds it leads”.

My 68 year old diabetic uncle had the sniffles.

True. Or it could usher in the collapse of humanity as we know it.

Definitely the latter. Better lock down everything and force vaccinate everyone! Even the family dog!

Sure man… he’s been waiting patiently for 45 years of his professional career for a global pandemic he could exploit for personal gain. I’m sure the death threats he gets from conspiracy nut jobs and Trump nut huggers is totally worth it.

Sure buddy. Fauci loves you! Keep believing everything he says!

Gotta mask up Fido when I take him out in the yard. Don't want him to superspread it to all the rabbits and deer.

If you don’t then you clearly don’t love the animals!

The way Omicron is progressing right now, it's very simple. Test your asymptomatic players if you don't want to play. Because when this spike hits after Christmas a ton of people are going to get Omicron and not even know it.

Or if you do want to play, take the NFL route and stop pretending a temporary illness you didn't even have symptoms for actually matters.

Exactly.

It's crazy to me that we're still treating this as if it's 2020. Yes, 2020 was rough. Had several friends I knew that died or suffered through and slowly recovered. But it's not 2020 anymore. In December 2021, we have vaccines, treatments, and now effective, approved antiviral pills. People have had time to accept their own level of risk and prepare accordingly. Most of us have moved on. At some point we all have to accept that it's now an endemic illness and begin treating it as such.

I don’t hang on every word Fauci says, in fact I haven’t really paid him much attention the past year, but I will lean on his advice regarding infectious disease over Travis any day of the week. The attempts by conservative Qs to make Fauci out to be some villain are laughable.

Travis needs to stick to sports instead of melting down about a piece of cloth over his face.

He isn’t a villain. The real villains are the ones that either gave him a platform (yes I’m talking about trump) or enforced the stuff he recommended (lockdowns).

Not doubting you, but sounds more like Delta.

Not to mention natural immunity and the virus is weakening as all viruses do. You are 100% right here. It is what it is. We should stop hearing about it every day.

He is a villain. But yes, everyone who has and who continue to give him a platform are the villain also. He is despicable

Chanelling my inner McGill here. This crap is nothing more than PC garbage. Let's mask 2 year olds and make bigger sissies out of young boys than we already are. Make sure we are following the proper narrative at all costs.

WHO forecasts coronavirus pandemic will end in 2022

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

WHO forecasts coronavirus pandemic will end in 2022

That’s not exactly what they mean.

““Unless we vaccinated the whole world, I don’t think we can end this pandemic,” he concluded”

In other words, they want to force vaccinate the entire population, and then they say it’s over. Not happening

 

[Big Orange#1]

Crazy how different everyones experience has been. personally I didn’t know anyone near my age (20-30s) that died or was hospitalized until this fall with the delta variant. One cousin died and another 30 y/o cousin by marriage was hospitalized and nearly died. They both had no vax though and my surviving cousin deeply regrets that decision. As he goes to therapy at 30 years old to get his damaged lungs back in shape. But your point about the pills I don’t believe they have had full approval to actually be used yet.

Are you for real saying that, or is that you channeling McGill? I only ask because - of all the complaints that have arisen in the last two years of wild diseases and politics and national turmoil, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone concerned that having boys wear masks turns them into sissies!

Do people actually say that?

Good for him. Want a cookie?

Yes

Could be. They said Omnicron. Which sounds like a generic Transformer.
I was surprised at how sick I was. My wife was positive too but for her it was like a 3 or 4 day cold.

 

[#1GatorHater]

Yes

Cookie cake work?

I love cookie cakes

Sorry to hear about those experiences. I know it's been rough on many people. The FDA approved the Pfizer antiviral Paxlovid earlier today which appears to be a big deal moving forward.
