Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

Covid didn't kill me or my 90 year old grandparents.

My Grandma didn't even have symptoms to go with her positive test.

I love going on Reddit and reading people freaking the fuck out about the 3 people that got "long covid" or the 200 pound overweight middle schooler that dies from it. Thanksgiving was pretty fun and I got to cook for my family. I sure do hope people enjoyed spending the holiday freaking out about a bar graph while muttering about waiting two weeks, though.
 
I have a sort of serious question and I'm curious as to what people here think or would like to suggest.

I was talking to someone earlier. Nobody I knew, I had errands to run and took a thermos of tea with me, sat in a local park to drink it (I know I know, now we're both gonna die of coof, right??) And got talking to the older couple sitting next to me. They both said, "surely people will see sense? This will pass, it has to".

I mean, will it? At what point, do you ladies and gents see the wheels coming totally off the narrative and people standing up and saying "no. Fuck off. This is a lie"?

Call me a tard, I probably am but its hard to talk about this to people in real life because they lose their shit, any questioning is met with "YOU ARE KILLING GRANDMA YOU ANTIVAXXER!!!!!!!". This is obe of the few places I've found where we can push back on it all, and I'm genuinely interested in what people think: when do you all think people will spine up and see through the lies?

Sorry for the crap, shit tier post, it's been A Week.

According to an article I read, his sister ran out of the house screaming and searching for help. I feel bad for this kid's family and the classmates that witnessed it because suicide is never a pretty sight and anger at everyone who uses this to further their agenda cause you know it's coming
 
I hate to schizopost but the thought just popped into my head and I have to share it. Anyone remember all the shit about the mink cull in Denmark and the whole "the virus is transmitting in the animals" bit they're doing? Just occurred to me that it could very well be predictive programming for them to start going on about how it transmits via cats and dogs. I feel like they're gonna try and get people to kill their family pets under the guise of 'saving lives' as another demoralisation and humiliation tactic.

I’ve been saying this for weeks. The tards here in Canada will be lining up for euthanization of their family dogs if there is a 0.0001% they can transmit it.
That’s when you know the world is batshit crazy. Thanks to fear mongering politicians and fear porn media.

Apparently he had his audio and video turned off when he did it.

I read some comments about it on reddit and they were mostly "oh he was probably being abused or bullied. Where were the parents? I wanted to kill myself when I was 11 too." Not even questioning that it could have something to do with the fact that life has been completely upended all year.
 
I've seen both sides of this. Being able to shoot the breeze with a sociable co-worker tends to be a plus; more-so if they can give you helpful advice when you have a difficult issue to resolve. At the same time, pointless status meetings and other in-office red tape are more of a productivity drain than anything else.
I mean literally the act of going to the office ends up being 2 hours on a good day. Commute time, packing and unpacking your shit, getting dressed for dress code, paying for parking and walking from the parking garage to the office and back, coming early for shift change/check in type of programs.

I also count lunches and breaks as work as it's still time you have to waste at or near work and deal with the inconvenience of not being home, or having the freedom to do what you want.

He probably couldn't even see his friends. He probably got burned out of remote schooling in a few months. He was probably failing and just couldn't care any less anymore.

But hey, at least Grandma is saved...
 
I have seen on Facebook two Karens I know--but who do not know each other--are working together to get a Nurse Practitioner fired. The NP's crime? She said only N95 masks are really effective and the blue surgical masks are silly outside a surgical suite. The Karens' professional qualifications? Pouring drinks and cutting hair.

Imagine being so scared of a pandemic you try to get a health care provider fired.
 
Ngl kiwis. I'm in a low place.
I was already pretty isolated and depressed before all this, but I at least went out to dinner a couple times a week or to craft stores.

Now I don't even have that. Big things like holidays are cancelled so the literal weeks if prep for Xmas is too. I've cleaned my house out of boredom and there's nothing really left to clean. I can't afford to get stuff for my hobbies like cosplay and even if I did... I'm so beat down I don't even want to anymore.
Like a poster a few posts up said... The only reason I haven't an heroed is bc I couldn't do that to my grandma.

I've looked for low cost/affordable mental health care in my area and either I'm retarded and haven't found anything online, or it's few and far between around here... Plus all the big covid warnings that take up half the page on every website just chizzles a little more if my sanity away.

I don't know what to believe anymore.

I just keep telling myself "don't do that to grandma. Don't make grandma go through that..." Over and over.


Thanks for listening to my ted talk.
You have found at least part of the answer--charity (the theological virtue of desiring the Good for the other).

The VirusCult has perverted the virtue of charity by making it overly reductionistic: that all other Goods are subordinate to not dying of COVID (and deaths don't matter unless they can be made to appear as COVID). Lost your job? Friends and family won't visit you? Shut up and be grateful, you aren't giving strangers COVID, you vile science denier!

I know it may not seem like much to you, but what I can do for you, @s0mbra is offer up your intentions when I go to Mass this Friday. Funny thing about we Catholics is that we believe Jesus Christ, who loves mankind, is physically present on the altar so I am confident He will supply you all your needs.
 

Am I missing something?this lying piece of shit claims he was in hospital for a month and in ICU the first three weeks, then rehab for a week. That he had no phone and was literally dying. But he was tweeting occasionally.

The fact that there are retards who fall for this astounds me.

Spoiler: hes a fat cunt.

My two cats are going to be in a cattery over christmas (we're flying out to see the wife's parents for the first time in almost 19 months). Now I'm stupidly paranoid that they'll get put down while we're away.

Renowned scientist tells Laura Ingraham the COVID-19 vaccine is 'downright dangerous' and will send you 'to your doom'​

By Peter Barry Chowka
On Wednesday, The Ingraham Angle on the Fox News channel broadcast a mind-boggling live interview with a world-renowned microbiologist who said the "looming" COVID-19 vaccine is "downright dangerous" and will send you "to your doom." The expert, Sucharit Bhakdi, M.D., speaking on a Skype video link from his home in Germany, also said this:
Laura Ingraham, Fox News channel host: On the social distancing and the mask, just to focus on that for a moment, which of those two in your research and your work has been the most displaced?
Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi: Both.
Ingram: Both. Not backed up by the science.
Bhakdi: Zero science.
Bhakdi is the co-author of Corona: False Alarm?, a massive bestseller in Germany that was published in English here on October 2. The book is currently the #1 bestseller in the Amazon categories of Microbiology, Pulmonary Medicine, and Health Law. It has a 4.8 out of 5 rating after 363 ratings.

In response to Ingraham's question of why these methods — including masks and social distancing — are being "pushed," Bhakdi elaborated:

This is something that we — and when I say "we" — hundreds and thousands of people are standing up to say to say "please, all of you, sit down and think about this. Read about this and then make up your own mind. Don't believe things that people are telling you. Think for yourself and come to you own conclusions." That is why we wrote this book, because all the arguments saying — telling you why, what you are doing is absolutely nonsense.

According to his online bio:

Sucharit Bhakdi was born in Washington, D.C., and educated at schools in Switzerland, Egypt, and Thailand. He studied medicine at the University of Bonn in Germany, where he received his MD in 1970. He was a post-doctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg from 1972 to 1976, and at The Protein Laboratory in Copenhagen from 1976 to 1977. He joined the Institute of Medical Microbiology at Giessen University in 1977 and was appointed associate professor in 1982. He was named chair of Medical Microbiology at the University of Mainz in 1990, where he remained until his retirement in 2012. Dr. Bhakdi has published over three hundred articles in the fields of immunology, bacteriology, virology, and parasitology, for which he has received numerous awards and the Order of Merit of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Thanksgiving was pretty fun and I got to cook for my family. I sure do hope people enjoyed spending the holiday freaking out about a bar graph while muttering about waiting two weeks, though.
Had a "fun" little coof scare myself over the last couple weeks.

So my dad volunteers to drive people to their doctor's appointments, including one who's currently in an assisted living facility. Well, a couple days after he took her to an appointment, she gave him a call and told him she'd tested positive for the coof. Apparently, my dad is a hypochondriac, which is news to my mom after several decades of marriage. He immediately started panicking, claiming he had a fever (99 degrees is not a fever but w/e), and thoroughly convincing himself that he was about to die of the Wu Flu. He quarantined himself from the rest of the family for a couple weeks, which my mom was actually not that bothered by since he's generally been getting on her nerves of late anyway. This also forced us to delay our Thanksgiving a few days while he was "recuperating." Wasn't too thrilled about that, but turkey tastes fine no matter when you cook it, so eh.

His overreaction was even more ridiculous for a couple reasons. For one, he'd been participating in a vaccine trial a few months ago because he's rather dumb apparently, and although we have yet to learn if he got the vaccine or a placebo, if it were the vaccine and it were effective, then he shouldn't have had anything to worry about. For another, my mom called the woman who'd supposedly tested positive after about a week or so, and she said that she didn't really have any symptoms at all when she was supposedly sick with the coof. This is a woman in her 90's who's currently on chemo treatments, so it's not someone with a great immune system to begin with. It's not impossible that she had the virus, but that suggests a false positive to me, something these tests are notorious for. And finally, a long bout of dry weather was causing all our allergies to act up, and both my mom and I were having some troubles at the same time. A sore throat and cough could have easily just been an allergic reaction, and the fever could have been psychosomatic. My dad probably made himself sick just by stressing out over it.

Anyway, he's in the clear now I guess, but it's not hard to be in the clear when you never had it to begin with. It's crazy how this stupid virus is making otherwise sane, rational people into complete lunatics.

Hysteria can cause illness too. Usually happens with teenage girls and fainting


Edited to say, it is really nice of your dad to be doing stuff to help people though. Warmed the blackened remains of my heart, that did
