I can't wait for my super special Fauci Microchip once they confirm my antibodies.

‘False Dawn’ Recovery Haunts Virus Survivors Who Fall Sick Again

Her experience adds to a growing number of reports of patients appearing to have a reactivation of symptoms, testing positive again, or even potentially being reinfected. Such incidents don’t align with the generally accepted understanding of how virus infections work and spread.

Do people with herpes think they beat it after the first outbreak clears?

The way pretty much all of America is acting like staying cooped up for a few weeks was such hell and the rush to do everything is on with such force even though we know how devastating this is for the elderly and other vulnerable people I can’t help but hope it turns out that everyone who gets it ends up suffering for life. People ****ing deserve it. People willing to trash their grandparents, literally kill them, because they’re ****ing bored.

Bottom Line:
For decades, in response to health problems like Legionnaire's disease the CDC has given stern instructions to industry: Do this, don't do that.
With Covid under Trump, their messages are full of "perhaps" "if possible" and "could". It sounds like, at every level, the current Federal/WH response is a hopeless muddle.

What's new is that the CDC used to give out instructions. They used imperatives, without qualification: "Do this."
Now everything has an escape clause attached: "Do this if feasable."

Rachel Maddow makes it clear that the CDC has been neutered, presumably so that those meat packing plants can stay open despite health risks. They can even say they worked within CDC guidelines: " Yeah, we would've done it, but it wasn't feasable, so like CDC said, we left it...."

I have to say, there are times when I feel like it's resurging but nowhere near the level it was when it was at it's peak. It's more of a slight lingering than anything. I don't wish bad things on anyone though, even if they're making things difficult. Paranoid delusions and ignorance are not actions of malice.

You sir, are one jaded individual.

Ive had the decency not to put people at risk of death so maybe I have a right to this opinion. There’s hundreds in nursing homes dying right now in this state. I have NOT been out there potentially infecting their caregivers. So maybe people who think their petty daily activities are worth risking other people’s ****ing lives are the jaded ones. Maybe the people who refuse to call murder murder are the cowards.

Yes Trump sucks. Hope he dies today per usual. But if the CDC have become cowards that’s on them.

Yeah maybe not.

I think you're misunderstanding what my point was. People are trying to live their lives, and they don't know any better. That doesn't mean they should be afflicted with a debilitating disease for the rest of their lives. That's just ****ing cruel and spiteful.
