You are talking in such a diminishing and belittling manner as though you think even the flu is nothing serious for older people and seniors.

How old are you? 15? How many times have YOU had the flu and covid? How many people with it have you had to care for, how many have you lost?

My doctor and I were talking about that today. As I posted above she said given my apparent infection in February 2020 I'm lucky to be alive.

They both got it last week.

I haven't spoken with them about which variant. I'll ask when I get the chance.

No. I am saying Covid is no longer an emergency and people should start taking personal responsibility for their health and all mandates should end the same way we never had flu mandates. How many more children need to get depressed or commit suicide because of school closure, masking, hunger, social isolation and rules they have to follow that are intended for adults? The problem is real but everybody ignores it.

That reminds me, in Quebec, from what I heard on that French exterpt, some still want to keep the emergency rolling and rolling like the Energizer rabbit.

And I know lots of C-D users dislike American Thinker but they posted a interesting article about connecting the dots about the early covid treatments and the last line was worth to quote.

If you still believe the lockdowns, mandates, and medical recommendations were hammered out in good faith, I have some Moderna stock to sell you.
