My job had 44 positive results, I know some of them.

They had no clue until testing.

MAGIC UNADITED TEST.

Bet you feel like a powerful gatekeeper now.

It's such a giant fucking scam that we are ALL GONNA BE CONSIDERED INFECTED until "tested" locked up and injected.

You lose all credibility forever, Babyloniam high priest. Enjoy the deception of the moment until you are exposed as a lying industry mouthpiece piece of shit.

No more echo chamber. I dissent. I disagree. I call bullshit.

But you destroy America and worship the idol harder to PROVE ME WRONG and join the mob.

I say it is a total hoax. I can't see it in a lab. No one can. The tests are fake.

It could be the common cold.

Fake.

Nobody audits anything you damn lazy fools. We deserve the mockery and destruction.

I work in the industry on the business side for a healthcare network. I cannot confirm scientifically if this virus exists. I can give evidence that a virus of some kind is active.. I question how it is spreading and its infection rate. I believe the biggest question is how a virus in the hottest time of the year has these so-called high infection rates. I believe the scam and spread is in the testing. I also believe we should question everything. From it being an actual virus to the way it is spreading.

Sure. But it's damn hard to feel threatened by it to a sufficient degree that it justifies shutting down the country when after 4 months I don't even know a person who knows a person who knows a person that has had it. And when you examine all the inconsistencies, "reporting errors," hypocrisy, lies, and manipulations in one place, you start realizing this virus may not be remotely as dangerous as the Democrats are trying to tell us it is. Funnily enough, the narrative that this is a world-ending virus unequivocally supports all of their political goals and arrived right when they really needed a distraction and an excuse to shit on President Trump again.

Fine, it's a real virus. But we aren't fucking stupid. We are being fucked with and lied to on a scale most people have never seen or recognized. What's stupid, in my opinion, is failing to recognize this fact.

Yes. When some people say it doesn’t even exist makes us look like assholes. My best friends father had it bad and is still recovering, my buddies at work tested positive and we’re pretty sick but now good, and my sisters best friend’s grandmother (lol, I know but still) passed away...but she was 91 years old. That’s as good as I can get. Personally think I had it back in Feb because I’d never been that sick so quickly and for 5 days, straight sweats soaking through the mattress, migraine, trouble breathing and a lot of coughing up phlegm. Anyways, that’s about all....peace out.

Given that it was detected in CN in at least October of 19, if not August, and how much traffic there was between the US and Wuhan, it's pretty safe to say it got here long before we started doing anything about it.

Possible it actually is a lot worse in China due to people's lungs already being damaged from decades of pollution and/or Asians are more susceptible to it due to higher ACE2 receptor expression. But really nothing coming out of China can be trusted, they may have exaggerated their response for both foreign and domestic political purposes.

It's sounding about as bad, maybe a bit worse than H1N1 flu and the vast majority of "experts" handling of it and policy advice on it has been very poor.

My coworker's cousin in Houston died from it. I know of several other positive cases, none of them serious.

It's a real thing, but I still stand by my logic. After the initial 2 weeks it should have been everything open and let the chips fall where they may. People who want to stay in, can.

Humans are not impervious to viruses. Deal with it. End of story.

I think I might have had it in early to mid January. Just thought it was the worst flu I ever had. Reason I think so is for about 2 days I got short of breath pretty easily and I slept 20 hours straight. Im not saying I had it for sure, but I had some symptoms that leads myself and couple friends to believe I had it.

13
Doth 13 points ago +14 / -1

My family got ravaged by a really bad cold back in November and I've never considered it could have been this thing. I assumed it was a result of attending a convention in October. People in my household have tested negative for the virus since the pandemic began, and I am led to believe that if you've had the common cold you could come up positive on the antibody test, which some areas are treating as "COVID positive." There have been several dozen "positive tests" at my workplace, all people in their 50s and older, and not one of them with a single symptom. What? What exactly were they tested for? Presence of blood in their veins?

Backslash2099 7 points ago +7 / -0

I got sick in early January, was bed ridden for about 3 days with the worst cough I've ever had. Several times I was coughing so much i couldn't breath, I keep thinking to myself I should go to the hospital and basically could feel myself passing out from lack of oxygen. I would force myself to calm down because my body was trying to hyper-ventilate but was just causing me to cough more. So once I was able to catch my breath I was ok for awhile. My chest hurt so bad like I had gotten punched several times, my lungs were in a lot of pain also. I thought it was bad flu at the time but as covid started becoming more common I started thinking maybe that's what it was. I haven't gotten the anti-body test because I've lost my job and it costs 100 bucks.

Lets not AT ALL consider every flu chimera manufactured and experimented on EVERY FUCKING YEAR for decades

Its so fucking hard to decipher but I think you guys can see it if you look real hard.

Weakened immune systems and non-existent IQ = endgame, blueprint for global enslavement.

Enjoy!

You were all warned and sided with the mob.

Against religion. Against Darwinism. Against evidence, logic, and reason.

God help us.

AND FOR SURE BUY THE NARRATIVE BUT DON'T EAT FOOD OR MEDICINE KNOWN TO CURE THIS SUPPOSED PLAGUE - NAH PUSH THE NARRATIVE BY HILLARY LOVER FAUCI. HE'S TOTALLY HONEST.

Your power of stating a known false dogma is what makes it a cult. You have to first kill religion and science so the medical whitecoat HIGH PRIESTS can do their witch doctor spell to tell you a virus is present and how you can fake the results. Then you kill reason, truth, language, and finally yourself.

Seriously the sacrifice of logic here makes me sad.

You were warned. Lemmings.

You repeat the mantra "the x is real" BUT DONT CALL TO SHUT DOWN VAXX/BIOWEAPONS RESEARCH THAT WOULD CREATE AND CAUSE YOUR PROBLEM X. NO YOU JUST FEED IT.

CANT FIGURE OUT WHY NO ONE BELIEVES YOU AND WONT WASTE TIME REASONING WITH YOU LIKE STUPID ME. MY BAD.

Chronically homeless guy here: when the COVID hit Detroit I found myself out on the street here. In the following months I have met hundreds of other people living on the street. Most of us go days even WEEKS without taking a shower. We eat things out of the garbage. We wash our hands when we can.

Out of all the people I met, I can only name 1 guy who "tested positive" for the COVID. We all call him COVID Jeff now. He has heart problems and diabetes, which if the horror stories are true means he should be dead right now.

Social workers convinced him to go to a facility for COVID-positive homeless people. He said he was the only motherfucker there for 3 weeks except for about a dozen city employees who were getting paid very well. He swears up and down he wasn't really sick and he does not know what the big deal was.

No, he didn’t. He had just moved to Maryland, and was starting new job, and someone coughed on him in a confined space, and the next day he felt lousy, and a couple weeks later was dead.

I guess being 70 could be an underlying condition. . . But that was it.

I know 3: one dead, one in hospital a week on oxygen, one pretty sick at home. And if it is true that there are asymptomatic cases we probably all know some. But the funkiness of the tests indicates a lot of the asymptomatic cases were either false positives or some other corona virus.

In Florida. I know several people personally who have/have had it.

Two were sick for about 3 weeks but are now getting better.

A bassist in one of my bands and his girlfriend had it. He's a big pot smoker (to avoid prescriptions) and he said it never hit his lungs, he just had some kind of clots(?) in his neck and bad digestive problems.

The guitarist in another band has a daughter who has it and she's currently getting better. She has multiple sclerosis, as well.

Also, another bass player had some kind of bad illness with many similar symptoms back in Janurary. He said it was like nothing he's had before (fluid in lungs, sleeping upright, flu but much worse). So he's a maybe.

And myself I put in the maybe category. I was very sick for 5 days back in April. I never had any respiratory issues (I smoke 4-6 cigs a day, pot occasionally), but it felt like I had been hit by a truck in my lower abdomen. Very bad fever and could barely walk for several days. Slept for about 18 hrs a day for 3 days. I get 2-3 coldsba year that I manage with some Dayquil and soup. This sickeness was crippling.

All that said, I'll be interested to see the final tally. I believe there are (by some estimations from antibody tests) 10,15, 20x the amount of people who have had it and it never affected them enough to even realize it. If the mortality rate is similar to the flu, then it's real danger lies in it's 2 week incubation period and ability to spread.

They FDC just “recalled” a bunch of tests that were administered in Florida, due to unusually high false positives. They told the testing sites to remove the physical tests from their offices due to being created in substandard facilities with little to no oversight. SO HOW DO WE ADJUST THE PERCENTAGE RATES before we are all bankrupt? Beyond exasperation.

I don't feel like typing this all again so here's a link:

https://thedonald.win/p/GIgoKan2/x/c/140JFQ1Pgj

All of the people i cited are in NYC except for the last household which is in a hotspot city in Florida. If you live someplace without many cases like Wyoming it's unlikely you would know anyone with it.

And I have a few updates. I spoke to the 85 year old gentleman in rehab yesterday and he's doing better but still working on relearning to walk. Also spoke to my younger doorman and he's back at work but still having long haul issues with breathing when he tries to exercise. And the older couple here in Florida are still quarantined but seem to be recovering. Neither was hospitalized and no one else in the complex was infected by them.

My mind hasn't changed. The pathogen is real. For most people it's not a big deal. We should protect the few genuinely vulnerable groups (almost everyone in the complex we're staying at in Florida is over 70 and a lot are over 80, for example.) And most of the country should go back to normal. And everyone should practice good hygiene like washing their hands after using the bathroom and before eating anyway.

Edited to add: I still believe the case numbers are inflated and the virus is being exploited for political purposes. That doesn't mean it's not real. Also places with few or no cases should not be shut down.

Edited for a word, clarity

I don't know anyone who has it, or know anyone who knows someone else that has it, and I'm in a supposed "hot spot". I go out into public regularly, and I don't think I've noticed a single sneeze, cough, or sniffle in all the time since the lockdowns started. From where I'm standing, COVID only exists on the TV and the internet.

I know a younger guy online who lives across the city from me. He had it and got pretty sick for a few days. It was like a bad case of the flu, but he got over it with no treatment. The concerning thing was that no hospital would even let him through the doors and nobody would give him any kind of treatment. They just told him to stay home.

I have another friend who lives in Mississippi, her grandmother caught it and died. She had multiple other conditions though.

I'm 90% sure I had it. The only reason I think I had it is that on day 3 I lost taste and I think smell.

I went to a mexican restaurant couldnt even taste their hot salsa, not the enchiladas I was eating.

But if I had it, I coughed alot I went through a bag and a half of cough drops, and I went to the sauna for 2 days straight for about an hour, got it as hot as I could and just breathed in. It was done and over on day 2.

The only person I know that had it was a 22 year old NYPD officer. He said he couldn't smell anything, out side of that he had no symptoms or issues. The only reason he knew he had it was the smell loss and a test. This was back at the peak of NYPD members having it.

I finally have some to report. Yesterday my sister told me that our cousin's two daughters were just released from the hospital after having Covid. Because of differences in our ages, my sister is our cousin's age and his daughters are my age, early 50s. Though I've not seen them in about a decade. They both have underlying health problems and overweight. One has had asthma about all her life.

I know about 30 people now that have had it, very surprised i haven't gotten it yet, maybe i did and didn't know it but my wife tested negative a few days ago.

The virus is real, it is quite possibly the most pussy virus i have ever heard of considering no one knew they had it when they tested positive.

In my county only two people, both nursing home residents, have died. More people died from car accidents, overdoses and murder. But the whole county shut down for months causing significant disruption and economic hardship for thousands.

This thing is not very deadly for non-elderly in nursing homes and we should have focused on that sooner and told the nanny-state to fuck off.

Add hospitalizations to this and you're on to something. Kidney failure, major respiratory damage, and sepsis are no joke either. These complications will also greatly impact our healthcare economy if widespread. Just the dialysis costs alone would be staggering if WuFlu hospitalizations are moderate.

Me, my wife and all my In-laws currently have it. Feels like a head cold with bouts of nausea. Losing sense of smell has been the weirdest part of it.

Colleague and her teenager had it. They were sick for three weeks at the beginning of the spring. Teenager recovered faster but was still pretty sick with a high fever for a day or so and a moderate fever that wouldn't go away. Coworker is either a current or former smoker and seems to still be lagging behind in recovery.

Me and my brother have been arguing for months about the political nature of this whole thing, he's an Uber liberal... But he had scratchy throat and fever... Ordered a " FREE " test through the mail called PIXEL and tested positive... He called me to gloat.... He's fine now but swears " I can see why people are dying..." I don't believe it was all that bad.
