we've been treating it like an endemic disease for a loving year or more now with hundreds of thousands of deaths

this is it, this is learning to live with it, we're doing it.

The brunchists get real mad if you say that you agree it should be treated as endemic, which is why we need permanent masking rules, mandatory PTO for mandatory quarantines, no dine-in restaurants, severe limits on event sizes, enforced building ventilation standards, mandatory vaccines, etc.

They don't really want to treat it as endemic. They want to treat it as nonexistent.

somewhere along the way the pundits redefined endemic as "inconsequential" instead of "constant"

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

We are in a zoom meeting for a lady retiring and yeah one is complaining about this as we speak. Also she said, "I just need the drat negative test and I'm back in. I don't have COVID . . . I mean last night at the ER they drained my ears and I have vertigo and a cold and no sense of smell and .. and . . .and "

Also positive at-home antigen tests don't show up in any of the official stats. :eng101:

Yeah, but I was seeing a bunch of stuff on Twitter and in US media about how there were only X number of test sent to a specific address and how that was loving over people with more people living there. I don't think I saw anything about how antigen tests are insanely unreliable and don't seem to work at all when it comes to omikron.

Yesterday was the 30th day in a row we have had over 20,000 COVID admissions in the United States.

We broke the previous peak record of 142,000 hospitalized on 1/10 - and it hasnt gone below that since.

I feel like there is an opening to be the pundit that says 2000 deaths a day from COVID is fine and good. If you're good enough you can get enough Koch money fund a secure hermit lifestyle away from COVID.

Problem is that merely parroting propaganda is not enough, you need to be willing to abase yourself before the altar, to be willing to roll around in the plague pits with faith that the ruling class will not abandon you if you become too sick.

I gotta say I have been reading this thread since the very beginning but not participate much due to the violent race based bullying I have received based on it. But I have to STRONGLY disagree with your strategy of this covid thing. I have been 100% honest about my experiences with this virus and have only been sexually bullied and silenced as a result. Sorry dont want to "offend" anyone here but y'all are 100% certifiably wrong pussies.
