Some gems from r/ZeroCovidCommunity, a group of people who took the pandemic so seriously, they continue to mask, isolate, and ruin their lives in 2024.

Redditor endures colonoscopy while fully awake, too concerned the nurses will remove his mask if he is sedated for the invasive procedure:

Would you consider doing the procedures without sedation? I did a colonoscopy last year without sedation to make sure I could stay masked and it was definitely the best decision for me. Obviously, you'd still have some unmasked time with the endoscopy, but you'd have more control and would have knowledge of the masks of the people in the room. I would definitely ask all of them to wear N95s and I would bring some with you. I've been supplying "health" "care" providers with N95s for the last few months and, when I've offered it to them while asking them to wear it, no one's had the guts to complain. (Though I did have to tell a nurse at the Mayo Clinic how to put one on.)

I know having those procedures without anesthesia isn't for everyone, but it was a great decision for me.
Paramedics rush to a patient’s home bracing themselves for a stroke, only to find a healthy, alert, oriented woman screeching at them about masks:

treatment when asked EMS to wear masks

Im not sure where to post this but I figured people in the covid conscious community would understand.
Today I started taking a medication and I started having some pretty alarming neurological side effects. When I looked up the side effects online it said I should contact my medical provider about them. Since it’s Saturday I called the nurse line. The nurse told me I needed to call EMS to come check on me because of the neurological symptoms I was having and the possibility of stroke. I called emergency services and they came maskless so I gave them masks to wear which took them all aback. I don’t think it was just the asking to mask that caused the poor treatment, they also assumed I called them for a panic attack and were incredibly condescending when I told them i called because the nurse advised it because “she only said that because of liability”. They told me I was just experiencing anxiety (who hasn’t heard that one before) and were in general extremely rude. one of the EMTs even asked why I wanted them to mask. Anyway they told me they’d take me in if I felt I needed it after doing nothing but telling me I had anxiety and being rude. Now I’m stuck having yet another awful medical experience which just on top of my medical trauma is really triggering. I don’t think I was having medical emergency but I figured I should checked out if the nurse thought it was a good idea and my symptoms felt different than things I’d experienced before. I really wish I hadn’t. It all being blamed on anxiety, telling them my diagnoses which are seen by a lot of people as “hysterical woman disorders”, the not understanding why I might want them to mask, I feel like they just saw me as a hypochondriac and didn’t take me seriously or treat me like a human. I just needed to vent this somewhere. I’m so sick of all the gaslighting especially as a chronically ill person trying to survive a pandemic.
r/ZeroCovidCommunity spends a great deal of time circlejerking about the horrors of ”long covid”, which helps them justify their extreme prevention habits. This one user became so worried, they spent $1700 out of pocket to purchase an extra dose of the antiviral Paxlovid:
756E90DE-31BA-429A-AD42-A7CA3DF8A639.jpeg
Title. I recently got infected and just finished my first round of pax. I'm still testing positive and
feel like shit. My doctor was willing to send a prescription for another round, and I'm even willing
and able to spend the $1500 because insurance won't cover it and I've already had enough long
covid problems for one lifetime. But the pharmacist had never seen two rounds of paxlovid back
to back before, said it wasn't approved for it, and refused to fill it.
I've obviously seen many people on reddit post about 10 day courses of paxlovid, and Dr. Fauci
as well as other famous and powerful people have done it. Any advice on getting around this?
I've already missed two doses and am feeling much worse. The strain of trying to get this all
figured out isn't helping.
Any advice is appreciated, I'm very overwhelmed
Edit: Update - Sent it to CVS, the pharmacist there said none of the coupons would apply
unless insurance offered some amount of coverage. Called insurance, they said there was
nothing they could could do. After about an hour I ended up paying $1700 OOP while sobbing in
the pharmacy.
There's probably some other thing I could have tried, something I could've done when getting
my first round that might have helped, but did the best I could in my situation. My cough and
chest pressure have been getting worse, and I needed to do something. This was probably
cheaper than what it would cost to go to an ER if I ended up getting worse. It's been a
nightmare. I'm going to try to rest as much as I can.
And this thread, where members encourage each other to avoid all exercise for multiple months after recovering from illness in an unsuccessful bid to avoid “long covid” (which sounds a lot like physical deconditioning):

I don't want to be too hard on a guy whose daughter is dying, but I don't think that making a reddit AMA on the same day you received the news that her condition is terminal is the right thing to do.

My daughter is dying AMA

Hey, I’ll keep it brief.

My daughter (7) has AML, is a double transplant recipient, and received her death sentence today.

I’d like to get verified, but unfortunately I don’t know how to do that.

Edit: So many questions, I’ll take a break for now. I’ll look at the rest this evening and respond then, thanks for this.

Too many people are so socially isolated that it's depressing, they are the embodyment of this random.txt quote

A man who should discuss this tragedy privately with his friends and family is instead trying to get attention on the internet to make up for it, that's why he doesn't just want to share the story, but to get verified as well. He has replaced all social connections with Reddit

It's like this guy who posted about his house burning down and taking his cat's life and PC over and over in computer related subbreddits, but more depressing and voyeuristic. I mean, it's easy to see why a father running to reddit to make an AMA about his dying daughter, on the same day he received the news that she's dying is disturbing, but something about it bothers me on a deeper level in a way I can't really describe, despite the fact that I don't any have children myself.

Pathetic. Nobody can read those schizo scrawls from the cars that are supposedly your audience. He doesn't even have poles or sandwich boards.

How fucking hard is it to do the most primitive kind of sign where you just use stencils to spray paint on posterboard? You want nice block letters, so that people don't just assume you're a homeless schizo with psychobabble on your signs. So that people can READ them without taking their eyes off the road. Not so that they deliberately ignore you and avoid contact because you look nuts.

Plus he's fat. Not by reddit standards but even by normal amerilard standards.

God I want to have empathy for this guy so bad but he comes across as such a blithering faggot that it's impossible. Oversocialized, politics obsessed, effeminate stinkditch crawler, literally reddit personified. What are the chances his gf suddenly dumped him because she found evidence that he's a chaser? I cannot imagine why else someone would so vehemently support trannies other than it being a fetish. Him lopping his own balls off might just be part of his bigger picture™.
 
r/egg_irl is a pretty disgusting mix of those shitty mematic memes that only appeal to children or brain damaged terminally online adults, grooming, and sexualization. I figured that it should be mentioned here; i dont wanna know how many kids have gotten their brains fucked from this subreddit
heres an example

There's also a thread on it but it isn't really substantial

Too many have. It's really a shame because they would have been perfectly normal kids if they didn't come across that subreddit.

They're the crazy urban hermits and the term "dying alone" really applies to these people, they might as well wear hazmat suits 24/7.
