@VegasFrank How many dead people's family were in on this hoax again?

Meh.
My autistic tendencies liked wearing a mask and avoiding people. I was rooting for a new normal.
As for the politics, that knife cuts both ways. If you're telling me a bunch of elected and appointed officials break rules and are in someone else's pocket, and in turn, dig into ours, then I have a captain obvious meme for you.
Like rusty says, the left wing and the right wing fly the same plane.

Agreed with the bolded part. However, what should the penalty be for those who lie under oath when testifying under a congressional subpoena? It seems which political side one is on determines that answer.

Too bad you didn't agree with the nonbolded parts, lol.
To answer your question, a lot, and in criminal and civil proceedings too. When our leaders treat oaths as jokes, then they are. The truth is that there are 2 sets of rules: one for the rich and connected, and the other for us.

See Frank, in the end we agree.

I had "the flu" from Thanksgiving 2019 until January 2020. I thought I had such a bad case because I hadn't had the flu vaccine in a while. When the announcements came about the existence of Covid, I realized: "AHA! That's why I couldn't smell the Vicks Vapo rub!" No question the disease was real.
There sure was a lot of intentional disinformation, though. And as the facts were unearthed it became more and more obvious that the disease was manufactured by a joint effort consisting of the Chinese and American governments.
Who ever thought that would be a good idea?
Hang 'em all.

They developed and released a strong respiratory disease that killed the the oldest and weakest of the population. Then they came out with a "vaccine" that didn't cure the disease, or prevent the spread of said disease. They mandated this vaccine even though it didn't actually vaccinate people, but instead increased mysterious deaths of seemingly strong and healthy people. Not to mention the increase of women having life threatening complications during pregnancy and child birth. THEY really screwed the pooch. Intentionally. THEY should be prosecuted and imprisoned.

If it was being developed prior to 2020... the Administration in office at the time should have had some knowledge...no? I forgot, Democrats are usually the ones backing big pharmaceutical companies and the super wealthy so they put it into motion during the 16-20 presidency.

This all started with fauci bringing 12 million in tax money over to China. I don't know when the original decision to do it was made but it reportedly was in the works for several years. This was pre-planned before trump.

$12 Million? I'd heard 2 million a few years back. Did they discover more? Or is this like when the cops bust $10k of something and it appears in the papers as Three Hundred and Thirty Million Dollars worth...?
Not arguing the main point, just the possible inflation of detail. If Fauci took any amount of $ to create, and thus potentially disseminate a nice new virus for fun and profit then he, and whoever sent him, should be tried and convicted on biological warfare charges.
As to who was the President, I'm not sure it matters. The Prez is pretty far down on the security clearance list. There's lots of operating without oversight that goes on, both in the private and public sectors.
Or, so I believe. I'm just one whackadoo out here in the wilds of fly-over country.

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has suspended federal funding for EcoHealth Alliance, a New York City-based non-profit organization that came under scrutiny during the COVID-19 pandemic for collaborating with a virology laboratory in China that was accused of potentially leaking the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Researchers who spoke to Nature are divided in their reaction to the decision: some think that the HHS made the right call, given EcoHealth’s apparent failure to comply with the terms of a grant that it had received, undermining public trust; others say that the decision seems to be unfairly wrapped up in politics.
The shifting sands of ‘gain-of-function’ research
In a memo detailing the decision, Henrietta Brisbon, the HHS’s suspension and debarment official, argued that EcoHealth had not provided adequate oversight of research activities at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), in China. The WIV was a subrecipient of a federal grant awarded to EcoHealth by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), meaning that it was a partner given funds to carry out some of the research covered by the grant. The document also describes how EcoHealth repeatedly failed to provide information requested by the NIH pertaining to the research conducted.

New Report Underscores the Seriousness of Long Covid
The National Academies said the condition could involve up to 200 symptoms, make it difficult for people to work and last for months or years.Surveys showed that the prevalence of long Covid decreased in 2023 but, for unclear reasons, has risen this year. As of January, data showed nearly 7 percent of adults in the United States had long Covid.

Saturday, I started feeling achy. Low grade fever off and on since then. Stuffy nose and slight scratchy throat. Taste and smell are still intact. This morning, I remembered I had a few covid tests in the cabinet. I took a covid test that expired a year ago and it was positive. I did a little googling about expired tests and according to an article about expired covid tests by the Cleveland clinic, a false positive would be unlikely if the test was diminished due to age, I would more likely get a false negative.
Will an expired COVID-19 test give you a false positive?
“Scientifically, it doesn’t make sense to get a false positive using an expired test,” states Dr. Rhoads. “The concern would be for you to get a false negative. If the antibodies stopped working as well, then the test might not detect the virus as well as it could when it was initially manufactured.”
https://health.clevelandclinic.org/expired-covid-testI was scheduled off from work yesterday, and I was preparing to go to work today thinking I was simply on day 4 of a common cold. But once I thought I had covid I decided to stay home, even though I don't think covid strains today are as serious as they were a few years ago. I'm treating it just a bit more carefully in order not to spread it. I haven't been anywhere except work since last Monday, and I visited the UPS store Friday afternoon. So, I figure I got it at work or at the UPS store.
I had a Pfizer shot April of '21 and a booster a month later but none since then. I'm not that worried about it unless I start feeling a lot worse. Any tips from those who've had it recently?3 -
Dayquil, Sprite and chicken noodle soup. The common cold is caused by a coronavirus. Unless you're at high risk treat them about the same.

Any tips from those who've had it recently?Go to a nickleback concert. Jokes aside I had a very overweight co worker get it a few months ago and he said just treat it like a flu and make an effort to eat oranges to try to avoid the smell/taste loss. He was fine though even though when he first got Covid years ago he had to go to the hospital.

Low cortisol, hair-trigger stress response in the brain may underlie Long COVID
"But he theorizes that the process might go something like this: COVID antigens lower cortisol, which serves to keep inflammatory responses to stressors in check in the brain. Once a stressor arises – whether it be a bad day at work, a mild infection or a hard workout – the brain’s inflammatory response is unleashed without those limits and serious symptoms come screaming back.
"Those might include, fatigue, depression, brain fog, insomnia and memory problems.Frank said he is doubtful that cortisol treatments alone could be an effective treatment for Long COVID, as they would not get at the root cause and come with a host of side effects.Instead, the findings suggest that identifying and minimizing different stressors might help manage symptoms."

I called in sick again today (texted actually). Symptoms are about the same except I have also developed a sporadic cough. I haven't had to speak to anyone until my mom called today and I ended up coughing a bit while on the phone and surprised myself by sounding worse than I thought I felt. If the cough gets worse, I'll seek medical care, but I think it's going to blow over soon. I needed a few grocery items and the trip to the store was not bad. During this whole time, I haven't had the desire to light a cigar but today I kept getting the urge. Almost had an afternoon cigar. I took a nap instead. I might try a robusto after supper.

I hope you are on the mend @Bob_LukenThanks, I haven't measured any fever for a couple of days and I can definitely feel that achy felling is better but I'm keeping a close eye on this cough, sporadic but definitely way down there in my lungs. No shortness of breath though. Stayed home from work again.
