    As point of information, I tested positive for Covid on Saturday. I am fully vaxxed and boosted. The original symptoms were similar to that of a bad cold. Since Sunday I have been on Lageviro, the newest ant-viral for the treatment of Covid and I have been taking an over the counter med for treatment of the symtoms and feel much better. Maybe the results would have been the same had I not been vaxxed although considering that multiple studies have indicated that the vax is very effective at preventing serious cases of Covid albeit not the infection itself I'm glad that I took the vax.

    Because if you die, like Doug Brignole. You won’t be as dead as you could have been had you not been vaccinated.

    Out of curiosity, why did you get tested ? Was it required ?

    Developed the symptoms Friday night, felt like sh*t on Saturday and self-tested with the Binax test kit which indicated a positive result. Contacted my provider and requested Paxlovid, the doctor recommended Lageviro instead, started taking the drug yesterday.

    Alarm about symptoms and testing only serves to sustain preoccupation with health and fear of sharing breathing space with others ...

    Symptoms - cough, fever, body aches — and every symptom attributed to Covid — are eliminative processes.

    Test - is wholly fraudulent in that it is calibrated to detect fragments of a mental construct.

    Symptoms + test = unending pan-panic.

    LOL…you read what you want to hear. But par for the course. You have not read Mohaltra. You won’t read Beat the Heart Attack Gene. That is fine. Your choice.

    “Your first bout of Covid ?”

    Whatever the answer it won’t be your last. As long as you keep testing.

    2020ff = testing-demic

    Let’s pretend for the moment that Covid is real.

    It didn’t kill anyone suddenly.

    Died suddenly doesn’t literally mean, perfectly fine one second, dead the next. If someone dies from an enlarged heart or myocarditis, it’s the wear and tear on a weakens muscle that eventually gives out. People can have inflammation for weeks without knowing it, but when they do die, people like you use the term “sudden” because they hadn’t previously sought treatment for a diagnosis. I think you know that.

    Even pretending Covid exists it didn’t kill anyone in the manner being attributed to vaccines. Nobody with an underlying condition was walking along, then fell dead by Covid. Usually they were killed by ventilator or excessive drugs or ...

    Took my wife to a large medical office building today and it's started requiring masks again for staff and patients. My daughter is a physical therapist with a large therapy company in Northeast Florida and they've starting requiring masks again, too.

    It’s called Covid-19 for a reason. We’re in ‘23 now. Time to move on maybe ? Or maybe we’re just turning Japanese ?

    Florida is reporting weirdly these days, but we are back up over 3000 new daily cases, in between surges we've been down under 1000 daily new cases. With the weird way we are reporting now, impossible to tell what is happening.

    The mask and social distancing policies turned out to be nothing but theater. The distancing theater at least helps make things nicer when out and about. The masking theater is just a shake your head.

    If you want to understand why we’re mired in a never-ending testing-demic, nothing more, a great place to start is by reading how the Drosten PCR test was created entirely in a computer based off of social media reports without any actual "SARS-COV-2" isolates available. It is literally calibrated to detect fragments of a mental construct. Never mind false positives, it can only deliver falses.

    This is sad and could have been avoided.
