Not a single solitary soul is out sick in a place with 135 employees and thousands upon thousands of people in and out regularly.

At work the number out with Covid now is 10 people out of 70-80 people employed...About half the employees are not vaccinated and over half of them are wearing masks now...Two weeks ago no one wore masks and no one was sick...I think this outbreak at work started with a office guy came to work sick and he said he only had a sinus infection...He didn't wear a mask while he was sick either and I don't know for sure if he got tested for Covid...A few days later other people started getting ill and testing positive and snowballed from there...

I'm the only one in this building that has had it and that was in the first wave. The turnover in this building is constant. Right now there are 11 suites that are available.

9000 dead outside of long term care homes when 90% of them are also of old age is not a pandemic in two years in Canada. Covid is a joke.

70% of our covid deaths were at long term care facilities. 40% above the international average. Canada failed long term care residents.

Mainstream Canadian news tells us that 70% of all covid deaths in Canada took place in Long Term care homes.

28,000 dead in over two years of Covid19 in Canada 70% of that took place with elderly living in long term care homes that have a poor reputation historically we cannot ignore that.
Simple Math
28,000 - 70% = 8,700.

That means roughly in two years only 8,700 people died from covid not living in nursing homes, In Canada that's not a pandemic level number, we should be happy that's all it was and move on. Get your shots if you want or feel you need them.

I imagine there could be a number of people at work getting sick in a few weeks as all this spreads. Probably will be.

The mandate now requires everyone to be the vaccine card police which I'll have no part of. Dealing with the last one where the Fear was elevated was a bundle of laughs - like I need that shit for the dirt $$ I make there.

Gold's Gym was reasonable about it yesterday. Up to this point they've told members that if you're fully vaccinated no mask required. Honor system. Now you have to actually show your card once for the purpose of them checking off that box in their system so that when you walk in and scan your membership tag they see it. Fine by me. I've also noticed that nobody's hosing down equipment with deadly chemicals anymore, back the the staff pretending to clean.

Every person sick at work who tested positive has lost their smell and taste...Those aren't false positives...

...
That doesn't mean that they don't just have the flu or that they are going to die. You lose your taste and smell senses when you get the flu. This is flu season. If the test is wrong it is freaking all these people out for no reason at all. If the test is right it still doing the same thing. There is nothing that can be done about it. There is no cure for any kind of virus or flu.

I already went through this twice with you, Nivek. Believe or don't it makes no difference to me.

I noticed that too. They don't clean anything in stores anymore than they used to. You should watch the video I just posted. I think it's a real eye opener even though he does endorse vaccinations, he still thinks it isn't necessarily the answer to omicron. He thinks giving this next booster to 20 year old people and up without any kind of study is a bad idea.

He also says that South Africa did an excellent job identifying omicron and showing their studies and yet they got bashed for it. He thinks that from now on people aren't going to say when they find another variant if there is one because of the lashing South Africa had to take.

The flu is non-existent here, covid has taken over...

Its not about what I think, for me personally, if I thought I had covid I would get a test done to confirm whether it was covid or not, but thats just me...

I am in covid overload. Thanks, I’ll have a look but honestly am not worried about it. If I get sick I’ll go get checked. If it says covid then it does. Or doesn’t. I’m not paranoid about it and I’m up to my ass is people every day all day

That's my point to. Whether you get 1 or 4 shots, if you get it there is nothing that can be done. I don't understand what the big hurry is to stick needles in your arm. You had covid before the vaccine and so did your wife. It didn't matter that you wore a mask, or kept your distance, or stayed inside. There is nothing that can be done about it.

Who told you that influenza was not existent. That's not true and the CDC recommends that you get vaccinated for that as well as covid.

Does getting the flu shot protect you against COVID-19?

The flu shot will not protect against COVID-19, but it will help reduce your risk of getting the flu and COVID-19 at the same time. Having both illnesses at the same time could put you at a higher risk for severe complications.

See, it makes no difference, my friend. I believe people are being irrational and fear motivated. I am so disappointed in the way we are treating each other. Have you seen some of these Karen (male and female) on youtube? It's like Nazism all over again.

It makes no difference whether you wear a mask or get a booster. You are most likely going to get it and most likely going to spread it.

There is one thing you can do and nobody seems to believe it for some reason....take zinc and vitamin D.

There are several doctors out there that do prescribe and or recommend taking supplements. Even though there is no proof that it works for covid 19.

The appeal of safe, natural treatments is undeniable. It’s true for age-old conditions such as the common cold, and for new diseases, especially if they have no known cure. So it makes sense that there would be a lot of interest in supplements for COVID-19, whether as prevention or treatment.

Indeed, zinc, melatonin, vitamin C, vitamin D, and other supplements have been commonly prescribed from the earliest days of the pandemic.

But do they work?

Even so, this chart says, it all...

My wife’s friend had the Covid 19 virus around April of this year. She was deathly sick but she didn’t go to any hospital. She now has both shots and the booster. Twice now she had virus like symptoms and so she got tested. No Covid just flu type problems. She vows to never get another shot.

Every time we drive by the Planet Fitness in our community the parking lot is full of vehicles. No masks are required my wife says. Supposedly it is the honor system. I fully suspect that Pennsylvania will impose some crackdown rules as the situation gets worse in 2022.
