Is there any explanation why Covid doesn't affect some people at all?
It seems to have no effect at all on some people while being utterly devastating on others, this seems to be the root cause of why so many people still don't take it seriously. How can a virus be so selective?
Ya think?

3. That's what is so infuriating.
A lot of these anti-vaxxers/anti-maskers have taken no precautions since this whole thing started and have had absolutely NOTHING bad happen to them. This in turn fuels their belief that it is a "hoax" or a "conspiracy" just to take away their "freedum"!
I really wish that more of them would become gravely ill with this virus just to show them that it's not a joke.
Well, s/he seems nice. Wishing for people to become 'gravely ill', not just ill. I wonder if this person understands just how ironic that post is. The virus is showing you that it really bad for some people and others not so much. Those who understand what less than 2% mortality rate means are simply proving to you that they are right!
So, you want the virus to actually be as BAD as the MSM is telling you it should be, is what I'm hearing. Panic porn ... you should find another hobby than panic porn.

The thing is they've *always* been this vile and hate-filled.
This is an extension of their "Republicans never see the need for these programs until it happens to them" nonsense they've used in regards to welfare programs and gov't freebies. Somehow they've invented the simpleminded ideas that people who oppose these gov't expenditures don't recognize their necessity, but suddenly do when they're the one's who need it.
It never occurs to leftists that maybe people *have* thought it through and disagree that gov't handouts is the best way to help those who are in a particular need; that there are others ways to see these individuals get what they need that are less costly, more effective, and are more caring. Nope, it's easier to just complain that the rich need to pay more taxes and turn over their fellow citizens to some gov't program than to actually get their hands dirty helping "those icky people".

1. This could have been an interesting discussion about degree of health, the effects of aging, length of exposure, etc.. But DU being DUmb, they had to turn it into hating on their current targets for demonization.
2. I took reasonable precautions, followed progress toward vaccines being authorized more closely than just about anyone on DU and in the MSM, and would have been vaccinated as soon as allowable. But because the FDA moved the goalposts so that no vaccine could be authorized in November 2020 and Goobernor Noisome set up eligibility rules that precluded my being vaccinated as soon as the vaccines were authorized, I got Covid, despite taking precautions and despite not being an "anti-vaxxer".
So DU-Morons ansible and smirkymonkey can go self-copulate!

Probably because the Wuhan is only marginally more deadly than the yearly flu.
And thanks a lot, DUmmies, proving once again that you truly are the party of compassion and love. :whatever: :whatever: :whatever:

I hear people who are obese - er, excuse me - body positive tend to suffer more.

superior genetics. Look how quickly President Trump whipped the Chi-Vi when he got it :fuelfire:

That's why we were saying that the China-virus didn't suddenly pop-out of a cave, Orville. It was created in a lab.

Im surprised the DUmmies don't notice the attempts by the Lieden admin and the MSM at continuing the hysteria (over nearly nothing).
OMG Covid is going to kill everyone! (didn't)
then:
WEAR A MASK!
Not effective. Your exposed eyes are mucus membranes.
VARIANTS!
No significant up-tics.
DELTA VARIANT!
Again, no significant up-tics.
Now it's: In 8 months we need boosters!!!!
All of this is an attempt to keep the population on the Government dole, suppress the economy, etc. and DUmmies lock-step right along with it.

A healthy immune system?

No annual flu shots, using regular soap and not antibacterial. You need to exercise your immune system just like any other part of your body. My parents and siblings insisted on getting their "vaccines " as soon as they came out, early adopters all of them. I was derided as a conspiracy theorist and antivax. Just this week my dad, my sis and my BIL got covid. Of course the goalposts were moved and they now claim it lessened the effects of the virus.

I told her, Covid kills you and children in 8 days
And then unfriended the family member. God, they're stupid.

1. Boy am I overdue! I tested positive on January 13th and I'm still around.
2. The <<1% of those who do die typically do so 2-3 weeks after testing positive.
3. Don't be fooled by the <<1% die number. For many more, recovery is no picnic (~4% hospitalization, IIRC). BTDTGTT.

add to that list endless elections requiring mail in ballots to increase the possibility of voter fraud...

The kung-flu has been insanely random from the beginning. Senior citizens with health issues have gotten it and recovered with no issues, and healthy young people have gotten it and (practically) fallen over dead. My wife has repository problems, and we are pretty sure she has had it twice, once early on before they were testing, and once later on when the test came back negative but it was thick in her school and she and several around her had all the same symptoms, yet still got negative tests.
People are different. They respond differently to stuff. Between running rideshare through much of this pandemic, as well as being the one who went to the grocery store during shut downs, plus again, the disease has been thick in my wife's school last year and already this year, I'm sure I've been exposed, but never gotten anything. One would think the "diversity" crowd at the DUmp would understand such variables in people, but they only like big words when match the handed down talking points.
And then unfriended the family member. God, they're stupid.

If the left actually had a brain, they would focus more on #3 there for their panic porn. Not sure what the numbers are on long term recovery effects (partly cause we still aren't far enough into the disease to know long term effects yes, just like the jab) but there are significant amounts of extended recovery times and damage to lungs afterwards.

I'm like you. I've been everywhere. I go wherever I want and have not worn a mask. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I've been exposed. We had 4 in our office who tested positive, 2 of which I was face to face with on a daily basis with no masks, and I never got it. There have been others outside the office like my son who is a paramedic who have been in direct contact with me after they had been in direct contact, so I know I received second hand exposure there.
Maybe it's the luck of the draw, maybe one of my prescriptions is blocking it. I know one of mine, Fenofibrate, is being tested as either a prophylactic or a drug that can be used to minimize effects. Maybe that's helping. I do know that no one has convinced me masking up makes a difference, and it is appearing the vaccines don't do what they were initially advertised to do, but it does appear they lessen the severity of symptoms for a large percentage, but that is hard to determine because you don't know what kind of symptoms that person may have exhibited in the first place.
Just my thoughts.

My wife and I are both "seniors with health issues". We both got Covid. I spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital and recovered. She received the Eli Lilly mab treatment and recovered without hospitalization. As far as I know, my recovery is complete, no lingering effects; I believe the same is true of my wife. For both of us that recovery took a couple of months. But there are indeed people with lingering effects, from partial loss of senses of smell and taste to much more serious health effects.
If any here have noticed that I'm intolerant and abrasive about Covid denial and minimization, that's a big part of why. I'm also intolerant and abrasive about Covid Panic Porn.

My wonderful Mother and her neighbor both got the Wu Flu almost exactly a year ago. Both in their early 70's, and it for them it was little more than a bad cold. Mom was more pissed off that she had to "quarantine" over Labor Day weekend and couldn't partake in golf festivities at her country club.

Hell, as I just mentioned my 70ish year old Mom got it in August of last year, and suffered nothing more than a bad cold.
About a month afterwards, ran into at least a dozen folks at my gig who came down with COVID. Been tested three times, and still nothing. Maybe I'm the superspreader and immune? :whistling:

Who the hell knows? Really getting sick of this panic porn. Did my part by getting fully vaccinated, and since that point in April, I'm done wearing a mask. Only did it anyway at the grocery store or at the rare occasion I've been to an indoor restaurant.

Apparently people who go to Obama's parties don't spread the disease or get infected.

Speaking of gatherings DUpipo do believe will believe will be a mass-spreader, Sturgis 2021 was 2 weeks ago. Why are daily new cases and daily deaths declining across the US? Could it be that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has mutated into a Reich-Wing Virus? :rotf: :tongue:

No, people just turn a blind eye...

Jay Kuss, general manager at Alchemy Bistro & Bar, told the Herald Monday he closed just a day before the guests for the Obama bash hit the island.
“I had 14 cases, all staff,” he said. “I closed for 10 days, and I’m opening tonight (Monday). It was tough. But one person didn’t feel well and came back with the Delta variant, so I sent every person to get tested.”
Kuss then took it upon himself to shut the doors and let his staff shake off the COVID.
“We do the best we can to keep guests and staff safe. If we don’t take care of each other, the team loses,” Kuss said. The staffers have been vaccinated, many mask up and guests don’t seem to mind the safety measures.
The Obama party, he added, just happened to occur when the island was already booming with guests and summer residents.
:whatever:
Most of the infected folks from the party in the Vineyard would be staff, and their cases will be attached to other events. The guests got high, got drunk, danced around and went home.

Google or DDG "Bear Week". Have a barf bag ready.
