The Virus Outbreak Thread

That’s probably not inaccurate.

More than likely everyone, or almost everyone, will catch it at one point. The trick is to be vaxed, and get it when the hospitals aren’t filled to the brim with unvaxed morons.

I mean, I’ve already been exposed to Covid. Twice. Once when my dad got it, then for the next week as I took care of him and mom after she got it from dad. Shoot I had an hour and half car ride with my dad the day his test results came back positive, so there was no way I wasn’t breathing Covid that enclosed space.

Then a second time when my brother got it and gave it to his girlfriend. Once again, nursed them for a couple days before they had to go to the hospital anyway.

But thanks to the vaccine I never got sick either time. Still wore a mask for the next few days so I didn’t spread it anyway.

I still remember being stuck in bed when I had it, not quite feeling to the extent of being at death’s doorstep but more so like the aftermath of being punched by a gorilla.

Also we’re currently on comment page 343 so…

@CaptainXtra
Here in Hungary the hospitals are full but not with the unvaxed but quite the opposite.
I know this cuz my parents working in a hospital.

Cyprus just reported a case of merged Delta-Omicron variant “Deltacron”.

@Khauntzat Adramélekhizarovich Searmaev
…son of a bitch.

@Khauntzat Adramélekhizarovich Searmaev
Not worried. Omicron will still be the dominant strain with herd immunity taking care of it.

@Khauntzat Adramélekhizarovich Searmaev
This is sounding like Transformers these days.

@The Equestrian Zodiac
10/10 best ship.

Now my mom is saying that the reason people are getting hospitalized when they get Covid is because they don’t have enough vitamin D3. So according to that logic, the vaccines are just D3 boosters.

I mean. She’s not wrong.

But that’s like saying ‘the reason people die in car crashes is because they aren’t wearing their seatbelt’. There’s, uh, seatbelts (and a healthy immune system) help but there’s a bit more to it than that.

@Dustcan
So she’s only partly wrong rather than full wrong. That’s good at least.

Yeah but unfortunately misinformation has been a leading cause in why this pandemic was allowed to occur in the first place, let alone is still ongoing.

So she’s on the right track but she or the people who listen to her are going to find out the hard way that a strong immune system is only Step 1 in preventing a serious sickness.

Forgive me for the use of this slur, but I feel it is warranted.

Just how retarded do people have to be to believe poisoning themselves with some anti-parasite drug meant for livestock would help fight COVID?

Oh that rabbit hole runs deep.

The list of their magic cures includes but is not limited to.

“Magical mineral water” (read, bleach+salt water).

Industrial Methanol.

Colloidal Silver (have fun being blue with spine shattering diarrhea).

Dichloromethane and Chlorine dioxide. (Chlorine based solvents found in paint thinners, bleach, and explosives).

Not to mention over 100 different herbs, spices, fruits, veg, drinks, and trinkets said to ward off or otherwise cure covid.

The kind that watches Fox News.

I wish I was joking. But my dad, who as I’ve mentioned several times almost died from Covid, already believes it’s a hoax again thanks to going back to binging Fox News upon recover and gave me that damn horse paste to give to my brother after the latter got sick.

I’m sick of this fucking game….

This shit HAS to end.

Everyone who truly wants the vaccine has already gotten it a long time ago. I wonder how much longer before some governments start arresting anti-vaxxers and force them to take the vaccine (or at least determine they can’t for medical reasons) as a condition of release.

@Goku Black
Not soon enough.

In a recovery index by Nikkei, my nation of Malaysia is at rank 13, while the US is now in rank 87.

A rare, deserving moment of “Malaysia Boleh”? (Malaysia can do it)

They want to discriminate and punish the unvaxxed.

@Hali the Emoji girl
They put other’s well being in trouble for no good reason, why shouldn’t they have a taste of their own medicine?

Because their “freedum”.

@Hali the Emoji girl
They obvious think that they are above consequences as well.
