- Is ignoring the giant Summer COVID wave working out well for anyone?
- Does anyone else get the feeling that most people don't realize the negative effects of COVID are more than just death and hospitalization?
- I was talking to someone about COVID, and they hadn't heard that it can cause diabetes. There's probably a lot of folks like them on this app. So, if you hadn't heard of it before, COVID can cause diabetes.
- Public health 2019: many viruses are serious, should not catch. 2022: many viruses are mild, why don't you try them out for yourself and see how you rate them?
- Does anyone else get the feeling the average person doesn't know long covid is common or that it happens even after mild infections?
- "EveRYoNeS tIrEd Of PreVeNTiNg CoViD" Not me. I'm not tired of preventing COVID. I'm tired of folks trying to convince everyone that the COVID pandemic is over when it clearly isn't.
- You're walking down the street and you see this bad boy in a storefront window. How do you feel?
- WHAT IF "let it rip" was bad for the population's health AND the economy?
- IDK if everyone, who tries to, will avoid COVID forever, but they'll probably accumulate fewer COVID infections and enjoy more healthier days than if they didn't protect themselves. That's worth a lot.
- Has anyone else noticed that the more someone knows about long covid or the increased risks associated with infection (ex: diabetes, strokes), the more likely they are to want to avoid covid infection?
- "YoU CAn'T pReVEnT oMiCrOn IT's tOo TrANsmIsSibLe" What's the explanation for the folks who avoided catching it over 6 months into the wave? Are they all lucky?
- Why are so many people, who claim to not live in fear of COVID, afraid of masks?
- The weirdest thing about these high profile articles vilifying mask wearing is: the people who still wear masks do so despite at least a year of peer pressure not to. One more article doesn't mean anything to the people who wear masks. Why waste space and time writing them?
