To elaborate: My wife and father in law own two restaurants in Seattle. We’ve been in business for 13 years and due to the authoritarian measures put in place by our pathetic loser governor Jay Inslee, we’re now on the verge of filing for bankruptcy. Best case scenario we can sell them for less than half of what they’re actually worth. All of this to “protect” people from a fucking virus that 99% of people recover from. I got covid, so did my wife, so did my father in law, so did my 90 year old grandma with Alzheimer’s, so did a family friend that recently had a liver transplant and is severely overweight.....we all recovered! The exploitation of coronavirus is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen in my life.
Meanwhile the grocery stores are full of hundreds of people, you can sit on an airplane shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of people, you can go to the fucking mall and their food courts are open!! The fact that there are millions of Americans who legitimately think that ANY of this is about public health absolutely blows my mind.
The media and democrats and honestly 75%+ of republicans are truly sick. They will crush you under any circumstance for their own benefit. /rant
I suspect I had covid in early March last year, haven't had the flu for about 15 years, but it was similar. Tired, didn't lose smell/taste, just tired, sleeping, and some dry coughing for 3-5 days. No testing available at the time, so who can say.
I'm not in great health, but this is the most ridiculous 'plague' I've ever had.
What is not significantly discussed these days is the ongoing lung and other damage that is incurred by survivors, emphasized in the media to try to minimize the argument of the amazingly high survival rates. About 6 months ago that was the go to argument for the importance of the disease. Where is the reporting of the millions of the supposedly permanently debilitated masses who survived but now live in misery?
Yes I would really like to hear from these survivors with “irreparable organ damage” very much
