Coronavirus

[Mr. Deez]

But like I have said, if other twitter people can easily find these glaring flip flops, the people who write them must be aware. There is no accountability, so it doesn't matter.

They must be aware of it, but it's so common in their business that I honestly don't think they care. The agenda always trumps the facts, so I think they just expect to flip-flop.

On surface, you're right when you say there's no accountability. They blow their credibility repeatedly, and they still have jobs. However, the scope of their influence is getting narrower every day. They'll keep their jobs, because DC, New York, Boston, LA, and San Francisco are big markets, but beyond that they'll basically be barking at the moon. Outside of those areas, nobody will give a crap about them.

So if you can find a valid test, it takes 72 hours to get the results. The CDC recommended quarantine period is 5 days. Why does testing help? If you feel sick, stay home as you should have been doing before Covid. If you are asymptomatic, testing is obviously of no use.

Clean,
When you feel like doing so, please give us an update. Hope all is well.

Thanks for asking Horn 2 Run. I’m fine. Today is the 10th day after the onset of symptoms, so I’m ending my quarantine tomorrow. It was like having a bad cold.

If you catch the virus, I highly recommend the monoclonal antibody infusion. I’m 72 and have COPD so, I’m in a high risk group. I was feeling very congested the first few days, but within 48 hours of the infusion I felt much better. I also had had 2 Pfizer vaccinations and the booster, those possibly helped reduce the severity. Who knows?

 

[horninchicago]

Since last April, I haven't understood why the average person gets tested. Just adds to the hysteria. It's stupid.

You don't look 72 in your picture there.

They are switching to rapid antigen tests.

I've been Covid-tested seven times, but six of those tests were because of travel mandates, not because of symptoms that were consistent with Covid.

I just won't travel to those places.

Told Mrs. hic last night I want to go to the Chicago Car Show in February to see the new Navigator. She informed me of having to be jabbed. So stupid. Am I going to show up healthy and be stricken so badly with kung flu so as to have to be rushed to one of their precious ICU units?

Well, I wasn't going to spend any money anyway, but now I just won't go.

We also talked about going to Turks and Caicos for vacation in June since I am flying there next week but not staying over. Oops, never mind, I'm sure draconian measures will be in place, so we aren't going to go. Screw that.

 

[SabreHorn]

HIC,

Trying to figure out how many different tests there are. One of my neighbors has done three self-tests and one at CVS. Two negative, two positive in an eight-day period. She's so psycho, everyone is hoping she quarantines for 6-8 months.

Only six to eight months? Sounds like they wish she would quarantine...permanently...six feet under.

 

[horninchicago]

I just don't get the point of testing. What is the point? Are you prescribed medications or just told to take zinc? Unless you are dying and taking a precious ICU bed what is the point?

Are you going to start home for 10, oops, I mean, now, 5 days so you don't spread it? It's a virus. It spreads anyway. So stupid.

 

[SabreHorn]

six feet under.

Her butt is wider than that

If you were going to be in Houston at the end of the month, we don't require vax here...even Lina Quarantina has not yet figured out a way around that.

I've always wanted to vacation in Houston.

 

[SabreHorn]

mb,

Hasn't the commandant declared Discovery Green a "covid free zone", meaning covid can't exist there so no tests or shots required?

 

[SabreHorn]

What's her name? Otherwise, Good Lord WHY? Nearest decent beach is 200 miles away; nearest good beach is 600 miles away. Nearest mountains are 1000+ miles away.

We do have humidity and use gators as "disposals".

Of course I can get to Memorial Stadium in just over two hours depending on the construction at the Brazos River and those damn red lights between Bastrop & Austin.

Love ya Sabre. I'm getting you a sarcasm test, STAT.



Just kidding. You are reverse sarcasming me. Well done, sir.

Most folks are getting tested because their HR departments or chid care centers require it.

It’s so they can stay home for 14 days with pay.

 

[horninchicago]

Do they require flu tests? How about IQ tests? Cola blindness? I mean,. this are important, too.

Ding ding ding! Losers gaming the stupid system. Then, they are the ones complaining they can't get their new couch because of "supply chain" issues.

Good, I hope they never receive them.

Didn't exactly figure it as a 'vacation' but rather trying to get you a car show you could get without being poisoned as a condition of entry...especially if you had something where a flight gave you time to overnight.

The Chicago show requires masks and actually says vaccine proof may be required. Odd. But, the vehicle I want too see, anyway, strangely is not scheduled to appear.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Cola blindness?

Is that when you can't taste the difference between Coke, Pepsi, and RC?

Maybe the vehicle refused to get vaxxed too.

 

[SabreHorn]

Is the Navigator an experimental model or one that will be for sale in the fall?

Ha, that explains the long lines I saw here in Katy where there was a “Covid 19 Test” sign.
Also my SIL couldn’t wait to call his supervisor back in Aug 21 when I caught Covid so he could tell him he was ‘exposed’ through contact with me. Had to take the test but still got 14 days of home duty.

 

[SabreHorn]

That's not a disease, that's a curse

 

[SabreHorn]

nash,

In Houston you always should ask who is running that facility and who is administering the test. There are some places doing the work in Houston that I wouldn't take my neighbor's cat to, and I hate that damn thing.

*I know the grammar is wrong, but "whom" can be so hard to say in certain contexts.

The 2022 has been refreshed significantly. I have one on order but wanted to see one up close since I won't get mine until March/April.
