It's FATAL if you are so much in the same room with someone!
 
Just disregard the asymptomatic cases, unless they fatal you.

They still won't say how many are nosocomial.
 
Most of the folks I see wearing masks are from disadvantaged minority populations.
 
Most of the folks I see wearing masks and gloves are old white folks.
 
Most of the folks I see wearing masks and gloves and the gloves are fabric or leather are crazy white folks.

At any one time at our local 500+ bed hospital, we have 15-20 Covid inpatients.

I should ask my neighbors that are both nurses at my local hospital what their total census is and how many are there because of Covid.  And how many are there for other respiratory viruses.

Has anyone even caught Covid lately?

I caught it a little over a month ago.  If I hadn't lost my sense of smell (just as all the other symptoms were about over), I would not have taken the expired government Covid test and thought I just had an unusually mild cold.  I never did report it to the county; as long as I voluntarily do the quarantine thing it's none of their business.

Nonsense. Take your Covid to the streets. Ya know, for racial justice.

I just saw an announcement from the Washington Department of Health that 4300 new cases were diagnosed in the state during the week of February 14th.

I had it last November.  Similar situation.  I had a fever for a day.  Felt miserable and cold for a short time.  No fever the next day. 

The biggest issue is I sometimes get a minor sinus issue if I don't keep my CPAP clean or swap to new hoses and such periodically.  That minor sinus issue hit me hard the next week.  I switched out to new hoses and stuff and slowly got better.  I did notice my sense of smell was gone for a short time but came back (mostly I guess).  I figure even a minor COVID issue left me open to other stuff that wasn't bothering me too much prior to that point.

Close call!
My wife's sister is a dental assistant. The dentist is a pretty decent guy and gives family of his employees a break on fees. Been seeing him for quite a few years now.
I had my semi-annual checkup on the 9th.  On the 8th the entire office had their first aid/CPR refresher training. Over the course of last week the entire office staff and the dentist, with the exception of my unvaxed sister in law, tested positive for the covids.

Friends of mine have both come down with kung flu.

They both work from home, have had all of the jabs (they're a bit on the liberal woke side, but nothing terrible), etc.

Emily started feeling crappy Wednesday, tested positive Thursday afternoon.

Brian tried to sequester in the at home office but my guess it was already too late. He popped positive yesterday.

The weekly Covid census email says that we have 20 Covid patients in the hospital this week.

St. Louis' web site says 33 new hospitalizations in the past week, but doesn't give any data regarding demographics. Especially age or residency... I'm figuring that we're seeing mostly nursing home residents still, and that they're still hoping for the 'vid when they run a test.
 
Says that 4% of inpatient beds are occupied, but doesn't say whether that is overall or just the covid isolation. I'm leaning isolation. Everyone I've talked to from the major hospitals are saying "not a big deal."

Overall, 835 deaths out of about 320k are blamed on the 'vid... And we've had 693 murders in the same population. I'm FAR more worried about lead poisoning.

 =( It is indeed unfortunate that so many people have such weak immune systems.  No flu, not even a "winter cold" in the last 8 years.
Go figure.

You know, I'd really like to know just who started cooking the books on the numbers...
 
The whole "died with" thing is what allowed them to crush the economy.
 
But it won't be just one person - it'll be like all the well-meaning folks who did their little bit to get Biden elected. No vast conspiracy - just a bunch of separate folks who thought they were doing what was right.

Even more Fauci. "They're Republicans. They don't like being told what to do. We need to break that." I can see why Twitter censored all this.

I wish there was a "Coventry"* we could send Fauci and his ilk to, and let them live out the rest of their days there.

*See Robert Heinlein's short story of the same name.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
