no coronavirus thread ?

[Eraser]

I feel like shit but it's like a regular flu so far. Fever, hot flashes, cold shivers, runny nose, headache, that sort of thing. There's a bit of coughing involved but I've had worse coughs. Just hoping it won't get worse.

My kids barely have any symptoms. My son had a fever for a day and my daughter complained about a headache a day later. That's about it.

Good luck dude.

[seremtan]

So it's official, I've got the 'vid.
Last week my eldest two kids got tested positive so we were already quarantined. I got a fever Monday and got tested yesterday, which came back positive today.

So yeah, GrandPa is entirely right. Vaccines don't help at all :olo:

I didn't say vaccines don't help, stupid. I said they aren't going to prevent you from getting Covid... Imagine that, I'm right again.

Mandates, masks, lockdowns and social distancing aren't going to save you. You will get it. Most will easily survive with or without vaccines. Others will die.

Neither options justifies sacrificing freedoms to authoritarian governments.

Have you all got your Omicron variant vaccine? :tard:

Like I said before, people who get the vaccine experience less severe symptoms and are less likely to be hospitalized or die from Covid-19. That, and taking other steps to prevent spread, relieves a large strain on the health care system over time, since spikes in cases are less frequent or severe. Fewer people will die as a result. Fewer people will become permanently disabled with long-term Covid symptoms (and as a result won't require government assistance). But you just don't like the smell of your own breath, so you cry about wearing a mask instead of giving a fuck about your fellow neighbor.

Have you all got your Omicron variant vaccine? :tard:

No, but when they offer it, I'll take it. Just like I take a flu shot every October. :tard:

If you think mandating health is an ethical practice, why aren't you raging against diabetics and obese people that aren't making the correct dietary or medication choices? I'll tell you why. Because your concern for the general health of society is bull shit. You are only considering with your selfish insecurities.

Should they mandate the flu shot too? I'm sure your need to be told what to do might influence your answer.

I'm not raging against obese people for the same reason your stupid seat belt analogy doesn't hold any water: fat people can't make other people fat.

Vaccine mandates are nothing new, the first school mandates in the States were implemented in the 1850s. They have been successfully defended in the Supreme Court multiple times. Or should we allow smallpox to just run its course? I guess we have to because authoritarianism! :dork:

Ironically gwamps is only alive because vaccine mandates prevented his dumbass parents from dying of polio.

About 2:40 into the video or roughly 4 pages down under Mr. Gunner's picture.

How you see any more than assistance here leaves me speechless!

Also, fat people and diabetics aren't clogging up our healthcare.

We're not cancelling plannable non-acute care because of fat people. We're not telling grandma she can't get a new hip right now because of fat people. We're not telling cancer patients they have to delay their treatment because of fat people.

No, we do that because of unvaccinated people who catch COVID and end up in hospital.

[Doombrain]

He's dancing around the health system load issue like he knows limiting FREDUMS is the right thing to do, but he just can't bring himself to say it cuz punisher t-shirt.

[Eraser]

lol.

What's also a fallacy is that people go "more IC beds" as an alternative to the measures we have now. Trouble is, measures that lead to reduced and less varied contact moments in the population do help. If you take that away, any number of additional IC beds will fill up... *snaps fingers* ...just like that.

In that sense, if you allow more IC beds to fill up you'll be ringing the alarm bell at a later stage which means you're allowing more people to die. As counter-intuitive as it is, having more IC beds means more deaths rather than less.

anyone would think its a pandemic or something

[scared?]

Lol Gramps thinks he's knows what's going on in health care... That's hilarious... Also everything he has said about what's going in hospitals is completely wrong... Especially about ppl leaving becuz of mandates...

Employee shortages started way before mandates and even before covid. Shortages are starting to work themselves out...A bunch of the scared pussy snowflakes that resist getting vaccines talk a big game but when the deadlines come... They get the shots... Fucking conservative snowflake fucktards... :olo: ...

YGP, the way I see it is not an insecurity for my health. I'm doing the one thing that makes the most sense right now for the health of those I care about. I don't know how I'd feel if it was me who transported death to my kiddo who's immunocompromised, or his last grandparent. Guess I see it like this: not getting vaccinated is a bit like cutting the seatbelts out your car, then telling the wife and kids that you're planning to drive across the nation that "plenty of people die in car accidents who were wearing seatbelts, so who needs one of those, anyway." Just my .02.

[vesp]

US Gov should put out a health mandate for "don't jump off a 50ft cliff", so that all the hurrdurr-gubmint-can't-tell-me-wut-ter-do can take a leap in the full knowledge that they're exercising their freedumbs :olo:

This will not appeal to him. My brother who has a similar stance to YGP literally tells an anecdote about how NOT wearing a seatbelt saved his life in a crash he had. SMH...these people are going to die on this anti-mask/anti-vax hill. Literally.

People are already consuming poison, horse de-wormers, huffing peroxide, and gargling betadine. The cliff isn't that far of a reach at this point.
