COVID is real, affects some worse than others. Believe I have had it, weird shit, headaches, heart jumping around, then lungs got very tight, and other symptoms. Long term damage? Who knows, live on. ALWAYS WORE A MASK, RARELY WENT OUT, LIVE ONLY WITH MY WIFE, NO VISITORS IN MY HOME. Walmart and Big Box Store only visited, everybody there wearing masks. Figure out how I got it? Eyes??????
Has it been used for political purposes, OH YAH!!!! Has it been overplayed? At times. Is there a lot totally insane illogical shit happening, absolutely!!! How about referees wearing masks on the football field? Players not wearing masks but refs have to. Electronic whistles, really?
How about college basketball? Players on the bench socially distanced as are coaches. Is that the most ridiculous thing you ever saw?? Coaches with their mask down all the time, refs with special masks that have a whistle in them. REALLY??? And remember, that mask protects you from infecting others, not meant to protect YOU.
So these OLDER FELLAS are exposed to the younger guys with no masks. LOL
Remember Penn St doctor saying 1/3 of athletes have heart swelling from COVID?? How many actually had to quit this year because of it? Two, three?? Out of how many who tested positive? Totally overblown!
It's still real, take it serious, but some of this crap is just plain stupid.
All those "fact check" sites constantly skew the data, twist and turn the facts, I pay no attention anymore to them as they are OFTEN POLITICALLY MOTIVATED.
Impossible anymore to get unmassaged data. The CDC will certainly adjust the data when all is said and done to fit the current narrative. Certainly not believing social media crap either.
Living my life everyday as I always have!
