Coronavirus 2019-nCoV

There is no "Left" and "Right" outside of a construct maintained by those who aim to control you. We are all bits and pieces of each "side".

Imagine a world where there are no political parties, just individuals campaigning on various platforms. Politics would become boring getting relegated into the background of life where it belongs.

I'm glad you are attempting to expand your vocabulary by borrowing some of my oft used terms. If you actually look them up, you have a chance of growing as a person. Here... let me do it for you.



An incredibly accurate explanation for what happens on a daily basis in this thread. 93% biased, propagandistic, wishful, conspiracy theory-laden garbage.

When a group of sane individuals stand together, watching an apple fall from the tree determining the existence of gravity, they aren't suffering from Groupthink, they are merely acknowledging what is... This is the job: to observe, interpret, test, reassess, over and over and over again. I do wish more in this thread had a basic understanding of how and why that process fosters "right thinking" - leading then to better outcomes.

lol you think you coined the term “group think”?

Again, I love the hypocritical lecturing of downplaying the politics of the virus when all you do is drop Trump, Republicans, and anti-vax bombs on the daily. One large, groupthink hypocrite.

So what are you gonna do now with all of your spare time? Open up a lumber yard?

The Left has said it is over so now Cold has said it is over. The power of the Group Think.

So, so sad.

Groupthink is a phenomenon that occurs when a group of individuals reaches a consensus without critical reasoning or evaluation of the consequences or alternatives. ... This desire creates a dynamic within a group whereby creativity and individuality tend to be stifled in order to avoid conflict.

I had both of those for probably three weeks in total. They were the last symptoms to leave, even though I tested negative far earlier. Sucked.

I had Covid in January 2021, double-vaxed hesitantly, in September 2021, and had Covid/Omicron (I assume) last month. I had the sore throat plus some fever (nothing too severe) for 3 or 4 days. The worse thing was the sore throat. After that just the voice issues but no discomfort or other symptoms. Neither time did I lose my sense of taste of smell. Pretty much just a run of the mill flu both times.

I know two other people who had Covid back in Janaury 21 as well. Neither are vaxsx and neither have had Covid/Omicron again (yet). However, both have been around me a lot and one of them works at a large Wichita High School and was very close with her daughter and two grandsons when the had Covid (probably Delta) a few months back. If they have had the Omicron their symptoms were so mild they did not realize it.

Hopefully, we are moving into the endemic phase of this virus.

Feel fine, just still have hoarse and sore throat.

Take mucinex and hydrate to the point that you're peeing nearly clear. Keeps all the crap fluid and flowing. My advice, after having it a few weeks ago. It is mild for almost everyone, but still a real problem if it makes it's way below your upper respiratory tract.

Thank you. I tried Mucinex at the advice of another friend and it indeed worked great. Almost at the end. Feel fine, just still have hoarse and sore throat.

Now, I lean right on most issues, but this sort of tweet, after a minuscule lull in the politicization of CoVid, is a depressing sign of what is to come over the next nine months from both sides, while the rest of us will have to endure this misery to the detriment of all.

Gee, I wasn't sure it was strong enough

[SHOCKvalue]

Tested positive yesterday along with wife and kids. Kids have zero symptoms. Wife and I are very mild. My worst symptom is a sore throat and a Barry White like voice. Feels like the average cold. No big deal and now I don't need the booster because I have the natural immunity.

Always remember that Democrats at the behest of their teachers' union overlords did irreversible damage to the development of your children and didn't stop until they realized how terrible their poll numbers were for the midterms.

Somehow Covid is over, but you should really vote by mail. Amirite?

[ShockerPrez]

Pollsters > "Scientists"?

I use the term scientists loosely. These are the ones that couldn't entertain differing views and had their masters censor the opposing conclusions.

But either way, the pollsters win.

Time to focus on Russia and war again.

Does someone need to do a health and safety check on Cold? Since his last post the Shockers have gone 2-0, there has been a 46% drop in cases and an 8% drop in deaths. I guess there isn't anything for him to post about.

Figured I'd stay away until we lost. That didn't take long.

I'm trying really hard not to look at future postings in this thread. I'm going to assume most of the inane comments aren't serious and are perhaps just theater in order to draw me into an argument. I have no motivation to argue for the sake of argument (about Covid). I think we are finally, officially moving into the endemic stage as a nation. Most of the posters in this thread have been announcing the end of the pandemic after each successive wave. Like a broken clock, they are finally, involuntarily, becoming right at last.

If this thread has been any indication, we have a long way to go as a nation with respect to discipline, critical thinking, and general kindness towards our fellow man.

It's been... something.

The guy writing the article doesn’t know jack and is just interpreting what Petty said. I tried to follow the link, because Petty sounds like he knows what’s what, but it didn’t take me to the video on N95 efficacy. If you can find that, I’d be interested. An N95 mask SHOULD work, but I haven’t seen any data on them post Covid.

I agree, I don't think the guy writing the article is an expert in this area. The guys he supposedly is relaying on are:

Tyson Gabriel: https://www.tyscienceguy.com/about.html

Steven Petty: https://eesgroupinc.us/about/

The seem to have good credentials. Whether the author is accurately presenting their thinking I couldn't say. At this point it probably doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

That's a point -- I haven't read any research on them post covid either.
