This is why we will RUE the day we accept masking as optional in society.

Who do you think will be those who make it mandatory to check feces to determine when you wear a mask?

That's right; bat shit crazy people like this person.

Very dangerous people; people that expect you to subject your life for their neurosis.

How dangerous are these people when they believe you are the subject of endangering their life?

Rosemary B it’s like the uk government during the Cold War telling us to hide under the kitchen table if a nuclear bomb went off.

Of course the total nonsense is to appease the masses while they scuttle off to their bunkers, which incidentally I pointed out that they’d have been in if the coof had been dangerous and life threatening.

Instead we had three stooges every night on tv giving us an update so a ban on mixing didn’t apply to bringing us propaganda

really?

the only thing I believed was that the jab was like a flu shot.

I took the first two (really!!) so that I could enter my 97 year old father's community (fancy Ashby Ponds Virginia) and I thought it would just be okay.

The second shot gave me inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis. It will not go away. I never wore the masks or gloves. Seemed dumb bc I used to be an RN and we did not do this shit for a virus.

Tardigrade's avatar

Yes, really, if you mean, wiping off groceries etc. It became apparent fairly early on that phone lights were not a thing.

I got the initial shots only so that my friends and neighbors, who are all elderly like me, would be more comfortable around me, but I was smugly confident in my robust low-carb immune system. Well, it worked for four years. Infection was inevitable, and I now have Covid. First time I've been sick in almost 14 years.

'we did not do this shit for a virus.' Absolutely true! Nobody seems to remember ancient history, five or more years ago when these kind of things were par for the course. Even if we came down with a cold or what we thought was the flu, we'd take some Sudafed and drag ourselves to work.

That's nothing, washing Pringles cans. I went to the health food store in a get up worthy of a postmodernist plague doctor---white nonrecyclable bridal veil of trash bags, scuba goggles, double masks, a plastic yellow transparent raincoat and two pairs of gloves, the latter of which I tore off on exiting, whereupon I washed my hands from a thermos.

These days I do think the Diagnostic Treatment Manual needs a new category for covid narcissism with secondary OCD, plus full on mall cop officiousness, but since psychology has been taken over by the oppressed/oppressor white privilege busters, we might need a whole new treatment manual. Euggipius could make some get out of Dodge (https://grammarbrain.com/get-out-of-dodge/ American Idiom) cash by authoring that!

I remember reading that people were taping up their windows and all ventilation, and that at least one person suffocated in their home as a result. I think this was during the Anthrax scare. I'm surprised we didn't see this behaviour from covidians.

Lizzy's avatar

My husband opened all the doors and windows on a freezing cold night.

I came home from work one night to find the house freezing and asked my husband why the doors and windows were open, he was sat there so smug answering that our daughter had tested positive after not feeling well so he’d opened them to let the viral load out.

Bear in mind she was upstairs in her bedroom with the door shut and he was sat downstairs in the cold.

I went effing ballistic telling him if the three darts he’d had didn’t protect him then he needed to give his head a wobble.

I promptly then went upstairs to attend to our daughter taking her some water and fruit she needed and asked for, believe me he felt my wrath that night of leaving our daughter when she needed looking after, he didn’t repeat the process when our son wasn’t well a couple of weeks later.

It reads as the pathology of a patient with severe schizofrenia, who instead of cleaning their home sorts all the stuff in various piles. Paper go there, meaning every paper from commerical ad-leaflets to bills to old newspapers. Glass go there, meaning lightbulds and eyeglasses and... you get the idea.

Meticulous, highly organised and utterly pointless to an external objective observer.

And when mucking out, wearing a mask actually helps you! Breathing in dust laced with feces-particles is decidedly unhealthy in its own right, plus there's the risk of "sorkfeber" (vole-fever; epidemic hemorrhagic fever, prev. known as nephropathia epidemica) - it is prevalent in the feces of rodents, mainly.

Have to disagree, R. Many unfortunate souls, like "Professor Doctor Bob" and his ilk are beyond help. There often comes a point, in the course of severe illness, when the caregivers must face reality, when they must acknowledge that the patient is terminal.

Far too many of the "Doctor Bob's", afflicted with that horrifying mental illness, covidianism, are so deeply infected, so committed to their cause, that they can not be nursed back to health.

I do agree that "six months of outdoor manual labour would do him good". As a matter of fact, that prescription might be the solution to MANY of the problems that plague our modern world.

Indeed. One wonders (if one is at all still thinking clearly amidst all the confusion) what is or was so unique and threatening about COVID, as opposed to any other disease out there in the world, that made it necessary to go to this level of 'precaution' - and then to report on it, as if others couldn't do think things through for themselves. I for one didn't see a novel threat, and still don't. As with the author, I'm compelled to question Wachter's logic - at the risk of being called a science denier.

I am not too modest to declare that this Our Plague Era has been wonderful for my self-regard. Morons of Medical Expertise have so, so validated my youthful decision to say "fuck that Bachelors Degree nonsense" and just try to make it on common sense (I had to boost it from time to time) and a congenital inability to be overly told what to do.

By the way, I hope I may keep my marbles in my head long enough to be able to enjoy reading and further that I may be high on the list for a first edition signed copy of your first satiric novel which I further hope you've already begun to write.

What is so beyond tragic is recollecting how utterly mad the whole world went during the entire Feardemic exercise.

And it’s still there, though less visible, percolating just beneath the surface, like a totally paranoid, jumpy person who’s constantly looking over their shoulder, waiting for something to leap out at them!

It was the most indescribable mass mind-altering event, I believe, to have ever taken place in history!

And The reason it still lingers to this day, in dark recesses of so many peoples consciousness, is that there have never been any consequences of any type, for any of the now exposed blatant lies or incalculable evils perpetrated by EVEN ONE of the legions of criminals who still to this day refuse to acknowledge their part in it.

The simple fact that the vaccine - which is not now, nor ever was a vaccine - is STILL being pushed upon people, after indisputable evidence has demonstrated that it is not only wholly ineffective but downright deadly, reveals they never will relent on their mission to control and manipulate the masses until they are absolutely forced to do so, in the most extremely harshest measures available.

I doubt such judgment will ever come from us, but it will most assuredly come from God.

His colour based warning system is not nearly detailed enough to capture the necessary nuances of protecting oneself from a dangerous, deadly bout of dangerous, deadly covid.

Between yellow and red should be level orange, wherein he can have the fries, but not the burger.

In front of the green should be blue, wherein covid is not dangerous whatsoever. The threat level will never reach blue though, its just there to provide hope.

Kind of like the color-coded alerts of Dubya's Homeland Security Advisory System back in the day.

When they finally retired it in 2011 (just in time for the Benghazi fiasco, IIRC) never had the threat ever dipped below yellow (the scale went from low to high, green-blue-yellow-orange-red).
