I had Covid over a year before I got the vaccine. I am a healthy, fit runner. My BMI is 21. The initial sickness was not that big of a deal. I had a constant low-grade headache (I don't get headaches, so I knew something was up) and everything tasted like dirt for about a week. No fever, no cough. No big deal. But in the…

Me too! And they are still sticking to their talking points, even now. I'm still the crazy one. But honestly, I'm willing to just let it all go, let them believe what they want, let them rant and rave, go along with it, whatever...just so long as everyone makes it. I don't care if anyone "learns their lesson" or "has a…

Well, my arrogant, conspiracy-theoried, anti-vax family ended up getting Covid. The preventative Ivermectin treatments they've been bragging about taking for months now failed to stop infection and failed to cure. Just found out my mom is in the hospital with Covid pneumonia. She's been sick for 10 days, and really bad for…

Not if everyone's vaxxed.

"...However, conspiracy theories appear to provide broad, internally consistent explanations that allow people to preserve beliefs in the face of uncertainty and contradiction..." Awesome resource. Explains my parents - especially my dad, who just cannot be wrong about anything. There must be an explanation somewhere out…

This makes me angry.

Spokesperson for the CDC stated just a week ago, "To date, CDC has not detected any unusual or unexpected patterns for deaths following immunization that would indicate that COVID vaccines are causing or contributing to deaths, outside of the 3 confirmed deaths following the Janssen vaccine." For the poster to have known 2…

Hardly anyone is masking anymore, everything is open, most people are moving around in public and living their lives like normal, and the Delta variant is far more transmissible. How could we NOT have more cases? I mean, come on, really?!

Exactly!

Perhaps if we started charging the unvaxxed (or their estates after they die) for their COVID-related hospital care, it might motivate some people to smarten up. They seem to think they're making a personal choice that is no one else's business, but we ALL pay when they clog up the hospital infrastructure and drain…

Sounds to me like there's a consistency problem. Employees don't seem to know what the policy is. They need a straightforward plan that is made clear to all and consistently followed. It's not OK if school officials are negotiating terms with some parents and steamrolling others. Seems that pushier parents are being…

Um, I think, it was all about waiting for the vaccine. Now there's a vaccine that mitigates the severity. Before, there wasn't. Realistically, we can't stay locked up forever.

I still don't see how wearing a mask hurts the economy. We have to wear shirts and shoes when we go inside a business. What's one more item of clothing?

But since the "booster" at this point is simply a third shot, if the state thinks you've only had one, couldn't you just go get your "second shot" (which would really be your third/booster) and you would have had that booster you wanted? Seems like you'd be in an even better position being someone who still needs the…

I'm on a full-on break from half my family, and have been for a while now. It's just best for everyone. There's a quick check-in text now and then, just to make sure everyone's still alive, but otherwise, I'm out of the loop and better for it. There is a special kind of cult-like fixation that some people seem to have…

Ugh. I have family who are all taking bi-weekly doses of ivermectin because they think that not only does it protect against Covid, it's a general cure-all for whatever ails you. So they all get wormed regularly and it prevents/cures most diseases! *eyes rolling* I can't even...Just get vaxxed, and then you don't have to…

Love your strength training focus!

I had a mild illness. It was no big deal, mostly a mild headache and everything tasted like dirt. But in the weeks and months afterwards, I slowly developed worsening problems with my lungs, waking up gasping for air, etc. It kept worsening for at least 6 months after, then it leveled off. I'm getting better gradually, but…

Wow! <3

When was your daughter vaxxed? It could be that with this new super contagious variant, we're all going to need boosters earlier than we thought...

Party pooper

This is true. Getting the vaccine does more than just protect yourself. It's not simply a selfish thing.

Mind blown!

Hoarders has the same effect on me. I immediately want to go clean or organize something!

I agree that the few extra pounds is probably mostly water weight from the increased workload/strength training. It's takes FOREVER to actually gain lean mass as a female, at least for me, and that's why I do whatever I can to maintain what I have! (It breaks my heart when I see women dropping weight too fast and losing…
