CoVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2 Information and Questions

[the MfM]

Good luck, hope it goes ok.

Have you had covid before? My experience was annoying but not too scary.

Thank you.

Haven’t had so much as the sniffles in 2 and half years. So far it’s been a normal cold. Symptoms since Thursday but didn’t test positive until Sunday.

We are one of the families that always suspected we had Covid-19 before it was known…My son who has never missed a day of school or been to a sick child dr appt was bedridden for the better part of two weeks in February of ‘20. I got whatever he had then and had a bad “cold” for a week or so but the exhaustion lingered for a few weeks.

Menstrual changes after Covid vaccines may be far more common than previously known

A study found that 42% of people with regular menstrual cycles said they bled more heavily than usual after their Covid vaccination.

“It’s MRNA it literally cannot affect your body in any other way”

I am sure plenty more of long term studies will prove otherwise.

Dr Fauci has covid-19. Hoping for the best outcome!

Anthony Fauci, face of US COVID response, tests positive

Dr Fauci became a household name for his reassuring and professional presence early in the pandemic.

I thought that dude resigned after the train wreck advice he gave out.

Who’s going to get the new omicron specific booster once it’s available?

 

[Thermobrett]

I plan on it. I contracted the latest variant a couple months back after dodging all the previous ones. Both first shots and the first booster. Symptoms weren’t to bad for me but hit my wife pretty hard.

I'm undecided, human trials are not yet complete (or even any early data). The new strains covered (ba4/5) already seem to have (recently) peaked - what will the prevalence actually look like once fall/winter comes around, and if something new is dominant are we any better off than with just the old ones?

I'm not... I'm done with this stupid thing! My post-Covid life began many months ago.

As of yesterday healthcare facilities no longer need to isolate covid patients. Covid cases will spike.

Cases will, yes, the question is, will morbidity and mortality spike as well? At the current state of affairs, case count is the least important thing. No longer is case count strongly associated with M&M. Time will tell.

That is why they introduced MonkeyPox! New and improved!

Lock the thread.

There will be no dark winter of death and disease. No pandemic of the unvaccinated.

The pandemic is over.

It’s a good thing for your sake that I’m not allowed to report posts anymore.

Like I actually give a chit. Nothing wrong with the truth.

It’s crazy what’s coming out now. A lot the “misinformation” that was banned is now fact

 

[AZMark]

So Fauci has investments in mutual funds that did worse than the market, he has a salary well below most specialized drs that also lead large organizations for 30+ years and he got an award from a private foundation.

Sounds like that watchdog should find better things to do with its time.

Anyone who had any money invested or owned property during the pandemic saw their net worth rise significantly through the end of 2021.

 

[GTBRMC]

Anyone who had any money invested or owned property during the pandemic saw their net worth rise significantly through the end of 2021.

In nominal $US, yes.

But let’s look at the macroeconomic facts:

US monetary policy explosively opened the valves, increasing M1 money supply by over 400% very, very quickly…



US fiscal policy explosively opened the valves, increasing the national debt by over $8,000,000,000,000 very, very quickly…



And we are already feeling the results of these major structural economic policy shifts in the form of highest-in-40+ years inflation plus asset bubbles popping, S&P is >20% off highs at end of period you mentioned…



…and commodities futures suggest real estate bubble is popping right now…


The data does not suggest any evidence of COVID-19 and the global response to it having any lasting financial benefit (other than some short-term winners and losers). Quite the opposite. Also, inflation reduces both real purchasing power and real value of assets, net-net.

The money supply expansion alone telegraphs we have only just begun to drink the toxic macroeconomic cocktail mixed over the last 2.5 years.

Fixed it for you,
and there you have it

TBH, it started under Trump and continued under Biden, so I consider it a DC stupidity thing, not an R or D thing.
