This is just a guess, but I'll bet if you asked this person "does getting covid provide long lasting immunity to covid" they would assert that it does.

Herd immunity is right around the corner, we'll get there once everyone has had covid a third time

conspiracy theory: covid is over and a major PCR tester is deliberately loving things up. It wouldn't be the first time :sigh:

nobody I knows has gotten a single positive result from the biden tests

I gave mine to my mom when she was sick - she wanted to "test out" of quaratine, or at least have a negative test. She had many positives in a row on Biden tests.

What I honestly don't get is the people that wear the masks but either dicknose (??) or wear it completely pushed down on their chin (?????)

i think a big part of it is omicron lodging itself in the throat and the FDA doing its usual FDA thing and refusing to change the instructions from "nasal swab" to "throat and nasal swab"

Honest question here -
Given the mass propaganda right now, and assuming there isn’t some complete collapse to preagrarian society—
Since such a majority of people are betting on Covid to be over, and it’s definitely not, there’s gotta be a way to make money off that, right? Like maybe hedging on aqua velva or beans or something? What has historically worked, or is it just a “everyone loses if you don’t own a railroad company” situation?

This is how I got into it with my dad. Like he seems to grasp that you can get it, and have bad things happen, but vaccines exist, and 90% of people in the hospital are unvaccinated is the yellow journalism line, so those people are the real problem.

Shooting for the moon here, but does anyone have any experience in successfully convincing anyone how wrong the news/CDC/etc are when it comes to covid?

I've had some luck showing people the before/after pictures of the CDC's COVID map from when they changed it in late February. Before then, they were using the old case rate per county and most of the country was red or yellow. After, most of the country was green or yellow, and has only gotten greener since. I don't think it's changed any behavior, but it gave a few people pause.

trying to gamble on commodities is the sort of thing you do if you are making trades at the multiple times per second rate, for the rest of us it's a pretty bad bet

i'm working class brained as gently caress and i'm p sure i'm going to personally profit off of this by just masking and remote working as much as possible and watching my main competition (other workers lol) get knocked out of contention with me because they get too much brain fog

Is WH press secretary within the circle of people that have access to Paxlovid+mAbs? My guess is definitely yes, no way they let them get obviously sick. However the guidance for getting Paxlovid are clear that it should be going to only immunocompromised and other at risk people so it seems like they'd have to bend the rules for her to get them.
