    Psucki said today that Brandon tested negative last night and is 'asymptomatic' several times today...then he hacked and wheezed his way through his tirade presser this afternoon.

    So in other words they would know when you call in sick and are lying. I see what they are doing there. :P

    It's about 70% here, but we've had a mask mandate reinstated by our POS governor.

    Coworker who was double vaccinated and boostered who got covid is back to wearing a mask. I would let him do him but he is a judgmental prick about people not doing what he does. Why do liberals feel it is acceptable to be so judgmental? Not truly progressive if you ask me.

    I don't know about you, but he's hacking and coughing worse than I am.
    (got my test this afternoon, should have results tomorrow)

    Honestly, if C19 were not a thing I would say I feel good enough to go out drinking with friends tonight. I wouldn't consider myself having a bad enough cold to worry about spreading it.

    But C19 is a thing, so I won't. I also don't have any friends, so there's that.

    I've said this for almost 2 years. When I found out about this and I'm an idiot, I said why do we think these little cloth and paper masks will work to protect us?.....all public employees wearing the little worthless masks while fire and rescue walking into every call like this....

    That to me told me we are all f'ed.

    Yep, I would have went to work yesterday but felt best to get tested first.

    Health Dept. isn't worried too much about it. Haven't been contacted by them yet. I heard that they called you immediately to get social tracing going amd check on your symptoms etc.

    Sad part is there is no way to prove one way or the other whether the jabs helped or not, none.

    Yeah but Tony told us the jabs would stop covid, ever notice once there was resistance to the jabs they quit talking about herd immunity. The jabs do not prevent the spread, thus do not provide herd immunity.

    Really? And here is my question was he vaccinated. It really too but it's down right criminal if he was not vaccinated and they " couldn't him a bed" or " didn't give the proper treatment " for him to be home with it.

    No up here there is a different attitude with the general public, you are not shunned if you are unvaccinated. Who knows though I have found that small town talk is always either wrong, inaccurate, or biased. They are raising funds for the family but I am not putting a $50 in the jar on the counter at a C store, check mailed to the bank for the fund, I did a money order prefer to be nameless when I donate.

    There was a 'doc' being interviewed for a news segment on Newsmax today (I quit watching Fox last Nov.) and he was saying that the OHMIGODweareallgonnadie scariant was a good thing so to speak, milder than Delta, easy to pass around and a good way to get herd immunity, he said most he's seen was similar to the reg flu./bad cold but the infirm should be wary ... ....

    If you are over 80 a stiff breeze can kill you.

    C19 twice and jabbed? They must have a really crappy immune system.
    ...or maybe the jab ruined their immune system.

    I think herd immunity got canned when "breakthrough" cases started occuring on a frequent basis. They still use the term "breakthrough" so they can continue to call it a "vaccine". You can't get to herd immunity if you cannot achieve immunity for a single person.

    ThIs Fauxi virus has changed the landscape of the future. No way they would be researching microchip implants to track the "vaccinated" if they didn't already know this isn't going away and will not get any less deadly for those most vulnerable.

    Think it's time to add Fauxi, the head if the WHO and CDC to the China theory, maybe if a Republican with balls gets elected waterboard the lot of them for a few hours.
