COVID Discussion

[SilverFallsAndrew]

A more appropriate place to discuss the issues.

Though I regret taking the COVID jab and I fear it may significantly shorten my life, I did take it willingly (Though it was eventyally required for my job, it was not at the time.). I have a lot of guilt around this as I encouraged others to take it, and even worked to implement bonuses for those who voluntarily received the jab.

More clues as to the origins of the pandemic.

If you’re not dead within the next five years I’ll be absolutely shocked.

I took the J&J one and tell myself that maybe it didn't do anything to me.  I took it because my parents refused to and I didn't want any chance of giving Covid to them.

You shouldn't feel bad.  At the time we had no idea what we were really dealing with.

The mainstream media comes unglued when you present the lab leak hypothesis so you know that is the right answer.

I got covid just before Christmas.  Was my first time having it as far as I know (anecdotal, but heard of a number of other people also just getting it for the first time).  Wasn't severely ill, but it certainly wasn't pleasant.  First few days were the worst, and then had lingering congestion and smell/taste issues and bouts of fatigue.  Took 2.5 weeks before I was completely back to normal.  Hope you're better soon.

I never got the virus, against all odds!

If you don't mind me asking, did you have a bad reaction to the shot or is it just more of a general concern about the future? 

I had the initial 2 shots plus one booster.  Personally, I don't regret taking it, but I've had enough of covid vaccines for a while and don't intend on getting another one anytime soon.

Lost an older cousin to covid in early January 2021.  That was shortly after the shots came out but almost nobody had one yet.  I wonder what might have been had he been able to get vaccinated, but will never know.

You might've had covid without realizing it since symptoms were/are basically non-existent for some people.

I nearly lost my 88 year old mother around Christmas when she supposedly had Covid for the first time? Not sure how she managed to never have it before now because nearly everyone around her had it at some point. But she also had UTI, another light stroke, and possibly sepsis all at the same time and she still survived!! Just got her out of rehab yesterday. (I'm pretty sure I had covid twice, the last time around 2 years ago.)

They have found some batches of the vaccine were bad and caused heart problems.  Just one of the problems I know of.

It will be the 4 year anniversary of the pandemic on Monday. According to Wikipedia it's not over yet.

I remember a doctor friend of mine back then saying that almost everybody is going to end up getting this virus at some point.  This was at a time when cases were just starting to be confirmed (with even less in the US) and without really having any epidemiological knowledge, I was taken aback by that prediction.  But sure enough, here we are now with most people on the planet having contracted covid, in some cases multiple times.  

Will never forget that crazy time.  The shutdowns, the uncertainty, the struggle to find toilet paper lol.  For a while, I think I would've had an easier time striking oil than finding some of those basic necessities.

If I had it, it was symptom free.  
Both my husband and I had no symptoms and he works for the City.  
Not everyone showed symptoms so I can’t rule it out.

The night that really stands out to me from 2020 is when the NBA shut down.  I think that was also the same day when Tom Hanks came out and said he had it.  At that point it was like oh man, what is this and how bad is it gonna get.
