    Funny watching the scrambling go on explaining why it didn't seem to last more than few days.

    Best thing I saw was on fb some dem rep tweeted out Trump should step down since the doctors gave him steroids as a treatment and now he's unfit because of the mood swings. That'd disqualify half of Washington, just about every women (sorry ladies ha), and not to mention the obvious that its not the same type of steroids that cause roid rage.

    The version I had of Covid didn't amount to squat, of course I'm 45 and no other conditions so there's that but still...
    Fatigue was the worst thing I had from it and I'd imagine a steroidal shot of some sort likely could have impacted that. Even that didn't keep me from playing on the computer or doing normal farm chores so I don't see any difference between that and office work where a person could rest if needed once in a while. I caught some sort of flu after returning from a grazing school in May of 2019, first cold or flu I'd had in over a decade. It kicked my butt and was 100x worse than covid. I got pretty nasty congestion, fever, sore throat and a bad cough from that crap. Took a pretty hard core antibiotic to kick me out of that stuff.

    The only surprising thing to note from the Covid I tested positive for was how easily I caught it. I caught it from someone who had zero symptoms riding in a UTV with the windows down for ten minutes. That and I started showing symptoms in a couple days. So I can see how it could spread quickly and be hard to prevent. My 72 year old mother also tested positive and had no symptoms thank goodness and she has fairly severe arthritis and a minor heart issue. There may be more than one strain of it out there, dunno but the one we had, though very contagious, was pretty wimpy, thank goodness.

    I think there are some very questionable things going on out there in how they count "covid deaths" which is contributing to grossly inflated numbers and statistics. I think there are likely a lot of people who tested positive but actually died from other causes. Probably other conditions that helps covid turn into a raging serious issue as well and between the two makes a perfect storm scenario that's dangerous. Surprise surprise...there's chit out there that could kill you, always has been and always will be. Something will get us all eventually, none of us are getting out of this alive. We're all inches from death every damned day when you think about it, one little slip and we're toast. Farm equipment, livestock, traffic, air traffic, trains, cancer....yadda yadda yadda.

    Hey VS, just noticed your avatar.
    I think LE hoping for a drama free zone is going to be disappointed.

    First thing about lady problems you do not comment about lady problems with a lady present. OND is a cool woman but she will still point out male ignorance.

    Retail will be interesting to see what happens for in-store. The industry habits that have changed since the pandemic are here to stay most believe in the industry. Online shopping has had a huge % increase.

    I think grocery stores will do alright. We used to do online grocery shopping but that has gotten steadily worse and we have returned to shopping in store. Clothing stores will do alright as well because people still want to try on clothes before buying. But, every other type of retail? Yeah, I can see some major changes there and many going to online only format.

    Hey guys I was joking with him....though to be honest...that whole laughing then turning mood to a bite me....so not me. Not a " mood swing", it's an art.
    I learned how to tell people to bite me with a big old smile on my face. It allows me to be honest, in a deceptive way...:evilgrin:

    So who are the prominent Democrats in office who have gotten COVID? This appears to be a one-sided deal on who in Washington is getting COVID.
