I can't believe Covid is still around

@swirlie there are also many cases of influenza and RSV. In many hospitals, maskdvare mandatory again, for staff and visitors.

@samueltyler2
Yes, I've been reading that as well. In Toronto, the Chief of Staff made a public announcement for people NOT to come to the hospital if they have Covid symptoms because they are bedding people in the hallways again and they are already at capacity with Covid patients alone. Same thing apparently in New York State.

@swirlie Sadly, only 20% of people eligible, and suggested, to take Paxlovid do! Many of the deaths might have been saved had they taken it. The idiots on the right are still killing people here in the US with their insane, anti scientific banter.

@samueltyler2 @swirlie 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@swirlie yup! Read the posts here.

In many ways, Covid is just like Herpes... it's the gift that keeps on giving!

You may not know this since you were just a Clinical Toxicologist professionally, unlike myself who took time to read all this in a newspaper as an avid reader of free newspapers in an airport waiting area, but many years after a person contracts Covid and who have moved on from it's symptomatic conditions, Covid can re-appear much later in life as a very severe respiratory ailment that requires an elderly person to live on a ventilator 24/7 for the duration of their lifetime.

Like Herpes, Covid can suddenly appear out of nowhere after many years of essentially remaining dormant within the body while yielding no Covid symptoms whatsoever during that time of dormancy, only to then rear it's ugly head and come out of the woodwork for no apparent reason 20 years later when our body is least able to handle it's debilitating effects.

Now, I know you probably think I'm an expert in how Covid works which quite frankly I think I am more so than you, but what's more important is why I know so much about Herpes?

@swirlie You really seem to do a great job in talking down, and even attacking people! I am totally offended by your stating that I am only a clinical toxicologist. You have no idea what you are so claiming. If you have read my comments, I have been warning about the potential.longbtrrm effects, not just so called long COVID. I compared the problem with the influenza of 1918 in which pt blend were detected intellectually in survivors, even those with minimal degrees of the flu initially, 20-30 years later.

It is not like herpes, if you mean H. Simplex, which when infecting adults can lay dormant and periodically present with skin problems blend. On the other hand, yes, it is like H. zoster which can lay dormant and present decades later as shingles. The current anti-vaxxers who refuse immunization are going to eventually regret that decision.

You think you are an expert from reading the newspaper, give me a break! I would say more, but, i am a gentleman.

@samueltyler2 No we aren't. The ineffectiveness of the Covid vax drugs shows they are not really needed and human inate immune response is better. I've never had a Covid jab or a regular flu jab. If a person wishes to get those jabs that's their own free choice - nobody should be forced to, or co-erced to, or told they if they refuse they will lose their job and/or their civil liberties.

@samueltyler2
It was stated 'tongue in cheek, Sam! Of course you know more than I do about it since you made Clinical Toxicology your profession!

Do you honestly think I was serious when I said that I knew more than you do because I read all about it in a newspaper? 🫣

In a way Sam, you have just boosted my confidence in creative, descriptive writing skills which I didn't know needed boosting until now.

You know Sam, when I was a tall, skinny blonde haired semi-pro athlete running wild through the hallowed hallways of my rural high school, I got expelled twice over that 4 year period of time by the same literature Teacher. The funny thing was, I was the only person I ever knew who ever got expelled from high school!

He was a very staunch Brit from Liverpool who had immigrated to Canada and who looked just like Adolf Hitler, but happened to be about 10 inches shorter than I was in bare feet, which I usually was.

He got me expelled in grade 9 and then again in grade 12 after I'd won two public speaking contests where in both contests, I had pretended to know more about creative, descriptive writing than my Teacher who was attempting to teach me! It was a fun piece actually, everyone knew who the unnamed Teacher was and it drew a lot of laughs, though it was never intended to be a story of humor.

The reason I won both contests which were 4 years apart, is not because of how I'd diminished my Teacher through a tongue in cheek public thrashing I imposed onto him despite him being a total buffoon in reality, but because of the descriptive content and writing style I had used to create the fake story itself which is what was being judged in those two contests, not the character of the guy at the root of the story who taught me how to write!

What the poor bugger didn't understand was that the contests were both won because of what he himself had single-handedly taught me about creative, descriptive writing, not because of what I told the world about my Teacher who allegedly knew less than I did according to my storyline.

The sad part of the whole thing was, that he was actually way too incompetent to understand the higher level of creative writing he alone had elevated me to as I learned under his direction, which of course is where I was actually coming from when I wrote those two stories, despite the fact that he was deemed 'competent' to teach creative writing to students like myself who actually knew far less than he did about it! The only person who never knew that was him!

@swirlie I see no apology in that diatribe, just more attempts at self promotion.

@samueltyler2
Apologies are not required, Sam! If you understood what I wrote about you in that diatribe, you'd also understand that apologies are irrelevant under the circumstances.

Are you sure you even read it Sam? Are you sure you understood any of it?

@swirlie you proceeded to make things even worse. You are really obnoxious. Have a good life!

@samueltyler2
Sam, with all due respect, are you in the advanced stages of vascular dementia?

@swirlie you now have gotten even worse, how dare you attack me like that. Give it up!

@samueltyler2
I'm only asking you a question Sam, but only because your responses to my posts are inappropriate for what was actually written by me. That's why I ask.

@swirlie I find you to be totally out of line. I don't even know why I am replying. You did attack my knowledge base, you tried to excuse it as a being a sarcastic comment, but, sorry I did not interpret it that way because of the context of the comment. You continue your attack without so much of an I am so sorry you might have misinterpreted what I wrote. You are showing your inherent stripes.


Yes, i read all of your statements, both of them. Did you even read mine? I posted knowledge about herpes and historical information with potential implications for COVID.

@samueltyler2
Get over yourself, Sam! You are getting hysterical over your self-perception!
