It'll probably get so bad that Trump forces the lockdown right before Christmas. Think of it as a shitty gift for Biden before he assumes office.

>lockdown

no muh freedoms

Already locked back down up here in Seattle

Of course they only focus on case numbers while barely anyone is dying now

>>23957862
Well they make alot of money by freaking out and running covid wards like the black plague is back so this helps them hospitalize more and act surprised when most recover.

Just kill the people trying to enforce unconstitutional edicts.

How much Nectar for HER Nectar, if you know what I mean.

I'm starting to get nervous about my stocks and seriously thinking about selling. No reason the market should be this high especially with so many states announcing lockdowns.

>>23958302
Just buy more if the prices come down, noob

>>23958353
That's the plan I timed the first covid top/bottom pretty well, but I probably should just stop trying to time the market before I get fucked

>>23957181
Yes we do.

>>23956976
Probably.

I have COVID (tested positive) and experienced all the meme symptoms everyone talks about (couldn't taste/smell, fever, chills, shakes, stuffed up, trouble breathing at times).

Overall experience: it's like a mild cold mixed with flu. Worst symptoms only last a few days maximum; they're unpleasant but negligible after 2-4 days.

It is absolutely fucking hilarious/pathetic that grown men in their 20-40's are so deathly afraid of such a puny virus. Pathetic. Shutting down the country for this rather than keeping everything open and using this as a much needed excuse to beef up/make sweeping changes to our healthcare system is hilarious. Shows how inept and clueless people are. If anybody under 50 is crying about how scared they are of COVID, they should be forced to wear some kind of badge that allows us to identify them as cowards for the rest of eternity.

>>23959578

Is the loss of taste/smell temporary? I had been hearing from friends of friends that they it was permanent (they haven't been able to taste/smell food for 2 months now)

>>23959814
so far it comes and goes, but it definitely seems to be going away overall. Had roughly 2 days of not being able to taste or smell anything at all, and it's a bizarre sensation. It's not the typical "nose is stuffed up so I can't taste/smell" thing, it's different.

>>23956976
Too skinny

>>23956976
How have people not learned their lesson from the first lockdowns? They do very little to slow the spread and in return they deal massive economic damage, causing unemployment and bankruptcies.
All for what? To give some fat greasy retards a few more years to live?

>>23960062
Thats just western countries though. They are retarded.

>>23959578
still misses the point.

1) Covid might or might not be a dangerous virus.
2) It's extremely virulent, it transmits fast.
3) it has mild symptoms on a certain age group, but potentially dangerous symptoms in another.
4) It should be contained, can be curved with masks and social distancing.
5) tards repeat that it's mild. i don't understand why mask needed blahblabhal, missing the whole point.
TL: IF YOU GET THE VIRUS YOU ALREADY FAILED, YOU BECAME A FOCUS YOURSELF, YOU GAVE IT TO WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE. NO YOU ARE NOT STRONG FOR SURVIVING, YOU FAILED BY GETTING INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
6) If tards don't wear masks they need to be sent to time out so they understand the situation is serious.

>>23960248
Your a retard my whole family got it because grandma is a nurse and has to work with the revolving door of senior care shits going to spread like wildfire no matter what we do

They are going to drive around neighborhoods in Minnesota and arrest people who have more than 10 family members in their home.

>>23960248
This is bait.

>>23960248
You have autism. I have the virus and I am telling you it's a nothingburger.

>1) Covid might or might not be a dangerous virus.

It's not.

>but potentially dangerous symptoms in another

Then at-risk demographics need to take the proper precautions.

>missing the whole point
>NO YOU ARE NOT STRONG FOR SURVIVING, YOU FAILED BY GETTING INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Millions all over the country are getting the virus through no fault of their own. It's a virus you fucking inbred sack of shit, that's the whole point.

It's a nothingburger. Not dangerous, akin to a mild cold/flu. You need to stop being a schizo freak. Someone you know and love will eventually get the virus, it's inevitable. However nothing bad will happen because the virus isn't dangerous at all and you fell for a huge meme. You're a coward and an idiot.

>>23959578
faggot it's not about you, it's about who you infect and who dies because of a dipshit like you

>faggot it's not about you, it's about who you infect and who dies because of a dipshit like you

You fucking idiot. How long until you realize people are going to get the virus, period, end of story, through no fault of their own?

Blaming someone for contracting a virus is hilariously fucking stupid. You're just angry because I have the virus and I'm telling you it's a nothingburger, which is the truth.

>y-you'll infect others!

You're projecting. You have no idea if I will infect anyone at all. You're inventing stories in your mind.

It's a mild virus for 99%+ of Americans. Stop being a fucking freak.

>>23960308
>not dangerous
my roommate works in a retirement home
they had whole departments that died away
>Then at-risk demographics need to take the proper precautions.
the logic is that a virus string that has such trasmitability might mix with other close related virus to escalate the situation even further
every "demographic" could breed such an killer bug.
Realise that the transmitablity is the current worry on a global scale, once it develops higher mortallity the show is already over

>>23960408
>once it develops higher mortality
IF
you assume that a virus's goal is to kill its host, which it isn't.

>>23960428
a virus will pick up random stuff in the hosts cells
with the current situation there are some 50k new infections in the US alone
ever single time is a dice roll to see if the mortality or transmitability rises even further

Yeah the virus can kill old people pretty effectively, no argument there. However, locking everybody in their houses forever is not a sustainable approach to any kind of virus. It's not a sustainable approach to anything.

continuous rolling lockdowns every few months is basically the worst of both worlds; doesn't do much except slow the inevitable explosion of cases while also devastating parts of the economy.

Inventing new viruses in your head is an interesting argument. Maybe invent a less deadly/virulent one and we can talk about that one mr. schizo. Otherwise I'll just let you play that game by yourself.

It's a nothingburger. Massive overreaction. Incredibly reckless, dangerous reporting from mass media causing mass hysteria. Sad state of affairs.

>>23960474
you might want to research MRSA 's they pop up pretty much all over the world on a regular because people cant follow basic health safety guidelines
difference here they are always localy isolated
now we have a testtube the size of the planet

it is not a nothingburger.
the sentiment of its a nothingburger made it into a real threat.
lets not even start about the fact that infections produce organ damage, even on anti symptomatic cases, to the reproductive system and brain

>>23960517
you're trying to lecture me on a virus that I currently have

it's a nothingburger.

>>23960535
>organ damage to the reproductive system and brain
enjoy

>>23960538
oh wow dude, totally spooked about the 1/1,000,000 chance that I get those conditions that you read about in schizo magazine

you fucking retard

>>23960553
whatever lets you sleep peacefully mr nothingburger

>>23960571
lol
>everyone must shut down the economy and never go outside or interact with others because I can't stand the thought of my cousin losing the patrons he hosts in death's waiting room

fuck off you authoritarian prick

better yet, why don't you go ask those high-risk patients whether they'd rather live their lives, or wait in figurative purgatory, wondering whether they'll ever see their families again, until bat flu rolls through their luxury asswiping facility.

>>23960644
'cuz I'll tell you what my grandmother says about it - and does.

She's out visiting her family and doing her best to protect herself WHILE LIVING HER LIFE, because she understands the value of not letting fear preclude you from doing the things you love.

This used to be a concept the western world understood, and valued; western ideals used to value the concepts of independent agency and freedom of choice; now we're being run by the lowest common denominator, slowly being enslaved by the capital class while being trapped in supporting our dregs with handouts and free services while the best among us are chastised for acting according to their personal risk tolerance instead of doing whatever the weasel in local governance decides they "ought" to do.

>>23960571
so sincerely fuck you, you slimy bottom-feeder. you are a blight on this society, and likely deserve chemical castration to ensure that you and yours never produce more spineless half-clones of yourself.

Leave the decision-making to each individual according to their personal risk tolerance, stop violating the NAP, and keep your stupid opinions to yourself.

>>23960474
If everyone gets sick they'll have to stay home anyway and it'll be even worse than these lockdowns. But cope more scared little retard, I'm sure acting real tough on the internet will scare the virus away lol.

I haven’t seen my family for 12 months - I work in EU, they are US. I don’t think I can take another year of mandatory masks and rolling shutdowns. All this so that some geriatrics can collect their pension for another couple years while watching jeopardy.

>>23960775
nah fuck off
>you got sick and realized it's not that big a deal

i got a virus like that about 20 years ago now that i think of it. my taste came back but it took about a month iirc.

>>23960248
they mark everyone who dies after a positive covid test as a covid death, even though so far ALL of them have had other conditions. a lifelong smoker dies of emphysima? covid death! that makes the virus appear to have a high death rate when it does not.

even if it really did kill old people at a high rate, that’s a reason to lock down only them, not everyone else.

will you still believe this garbage when we are still getting lockdowns in Thanksgiving 2021?

>>23960301
they wont tell you in the news but you can actually sue them and win if they do that. this hoax has many level to it, like how crazy leftists just HAPPENED to start rioting right around the time when regular people were organizing to protest covid lockdowns.

>>23960456
that seems to be an argument for keeping the lockdown going forever, to combat ALL viruses. in which case i would just say youre insane haha.

>>23960517
organ damage isnt antisymptomatic, retard. this is cooties-level fear-mongering. you know what DOES cause brain damage? injecting mercury directly into babies, like the medical establishment does every day.

>>23960707
that’s nice, my grandmother is a hopeless koolaid-drinker who is the first to fall for propaganda like this.

>>23960890
"reality" is everybody dies. im sure most old people dont want the rest of us to live the rest of our lives like this (and if they do they can go fuck themselves).

>>23960956
i think one layer of the hoax is convincing us (through fake polling and outlawing large gatherings) that most people believe in the virus when actually most people do not. if this virus is so dangerous why cant legislatures pass a law about lockdowns? why is it all executive orders? (they’re unconstitutional either way, but still)

god dammit this whole thing is a bait thread isnt it? im the only real person here, aren’t i?

>>23956976
>lockdown for a disease that barely kills old people

brainlet cant into evolution
a reasonable person would see the risk of escalation and would try to minimize the risk
since there are already precidents with other pathogens its a non theoretical threat

it seems you think it is more important to let people live their lives instead of accounting for the possiblity of a species extermination event

i hope nobody has to depend on your decision making
