That said, we're past the at home tests being something that's useful. By the time you have symptoms and they actually work, you've already infected a ton of people because everyone is back at work and back to doing their thing pretending that they couldn't possibly have COVID.

I just found out my cousin's been in the hospital for the the last 4 or 5 days with covid after testing positive around the 15th. She's 50 and in good health but is on a major amount of oxygen and they have her prone on her stomach. No vent, yet, but it's a possibility if she doesn't start improving soon. Her husband has it too. He passed out the other day while doing snow removal (his business in the winter) but he's not in the hospital, at least so far.

You've probably already guessed that neither are vaccinated. :face:

might as well mention that the kangaroo's dad tested positive earlier this week. Cold like symptoms. Boosted. Oddly enough my mum hasn't had any symptoms. goofy virus.

Used the tests I got from Amazon pre-traveling to a work location. It said if it came back positive, you have it. If it came back negative, you should do at least one more test.

Oh really? How many tests would you like me to do before I can be assured I'm negative?

If I had symptoms, I might do another. I don't. One's enough.

This is bananas and to me. What do you care what they call it? YOU'RE DYING and eschewing medical care for............. why, again? I frankly can't be more rid of numbskulls.

I think y’all are underestimating these people’s ability to die for a cause they believe in

they think they’re martyrs or something

You don't go to conservative heaven if you accept that you died from Covid.

do they really know they're dying though? a lot of these people have never had anything truly horrific happen to them. it's pretty much why they're feeble little pea brains couldn't handle masks and lockdowns anyway. "people don't really die of COVID. I'll be fine in a few days." a few days later, it's too late.

I think when you get to a point where you recognize your body can't do air right, you've got to think death is at least on the menu of outcomes, regardless of the name you are willing to ascribe to the cause.
