Testing is a red herring,  it means nothing for 99% of people when they test positive.  They aren’t going to have anything more then cold symptoms.

While I agree that omicron doesn’t seem severe I will say that at my tiny school our girl’s varsity basketball team has 12 players ….2 of those 12 have dads that have been on the vent for 44 days and one currently on day 37…..the 44 day is back to a walker and his life is changed forever 100% miracle. The dad on day 37 needs prayers more than ever for his potential and hopeful miracle. First guy was 51 years old 6’1 190 and current guy is 45 years old 6’3 215….neither unhealthy guys. Both unvaccinated.

So while your 99% isn’t going to be debated by me…..that 1% hurts and it’s a bit a slap in the face to those part of that 1%

I know a handful of people that have had it over the last month. Nobody that needed to spend any time at the hospital but absolutely worse than just some cold symptoms. How people still say shit like that after 2 years is pretty crazy to me.

J crazy seems pretty normal/typical dude and has a 104 fever and shortness of breath. You’ve had a lot of colds like that?

Colds no, but flu yes. To be fair

I've had some bad flus in my life. 2017 was the last one. I had a fever and cough but I never had shortness of breath.

Only had that for 36 hours. now it's just a lingering cough/ easily winded. but that is getting noticeably better every day now.

I have had both in the last 2 years. COVID and influenza A. At least for me the flu was way worse. It knocked me in my ass for a week and I had 102-104F temperature for about 2 days. 

I know that isn’t the case for everyone as my mother in law spent 30 days in the hospital with COVID, just giving my experience.

I had it over Christmas, must have been the omicron version -  head cold/flu symptoms; the worst was the sore throat for 4 days, never had one that bad. 

The problem with all of this crap is that the medical establishment in this country is not doing any early treatment at all.  Take OTC meds and stay home is absolutely assinine.

"We will treat you if you hit the ICU" is so stupid at this point

The real problem is you're consistently wrong and simply ingesting bad information daily.

My friend's grandfather got a Regeneron treatment in upstate NY 2 weeks ago. He was not in the ICU.

Insane survey of Democratic voters in a recently poll: -55% support fines against unvaxxed -59% support house arrest -48% support prison for questioning vax efficacy on social media -45% support internment camps -47% support surveillance -29% support the state taking their kids

Yesterday the tests were misleading and 99% of people are just having cold symptoms. Today the problem is we’re not doing anything before people hit the ICU. 

Wonder what this hypocritical piece of shit will drum up tomorrow. Can’t wait.

Your a fool with a college degree in a medical field?  You know damn well that this country went full retard on theraputics that are working all over the world to keep people out of the hospital and likely cut death rates down 30-40%.  And after 2 years the top medical people in this country go on TV with no fucking answers for any of this but "get the vaccine" that BTW isnt working well now is it?

Based upon the fact that 90%+ of those in the ICU with Covid are unvaccinated, I'd say it's working very well.

I’m not gonna go 12 rounds with you today. I’m curious what therapies are working internationally that aren’t being utilized here so feel free to provide that along with how they’re cutting deaths by 30-40%. Or how you know that vaccinations aren’t working when I’m guessing you haven’t set foot in an ICU within the last two years right? 

I’ve offered multiple times to help you become informed and speak with people you knew personally with what’s going on and you’ve ignored me.

CC's problem is that he does one thing reasonably intelligent: question science. Talking about a new disease where everyone is working out things on the fly, there's logic in questioning what the established professionals are saying. But then he follows that up by completely swallowing what "outsiders" say on podcasts, with no questioning of their claims whatsoever.

Which ends up as a hilariously stupid case where the established professionals are always wrong and the outsiders speaking on Rogan or being quoted by Breitbart or whatever other fucking idiotic sources he uses are always right. Makes him come off as someone who's more interested in spewing out any and all contradictory claims to what's mainstream than someone who actually is interesting in thinking and making accurate choices.

In other words, par for the course for a conspiracy theory loving idiot.

After two years fo this, I finally tested positive. I feel perfectly fine minus a sense of smell.

We had 2 teachers die last week when they removed them from the ventilator. One was retiring this year. He was probably 40-50 pounds overweight   but I don’t think he would have died from the flu. I agree thr 1 percent matters when it’s your friend or family mem

Probably wouldn’t have died if he could have access to therapeutics early on
