Well damn. Should have seen this before my wife purchased at home Covid test Saturday for
$25. Also by the time they arrived I wouldn’t have had Covid it would already be over. So I ended up having to spend $105 on at home and from Urgent care just to tell me what I already knew. I have a upper respiratory infection that I’ve gotten many times in my life. Plus now I have to stay isolated at home and not able to work for min of 5 days. When you’re in sales that screws your whole month.

Have never been tested 💯
I volunteered to get a test about 10 weeks into the 2 weeks to flatten the curve. I was going to visit my parents and was still worried about possibly being asymptomatic. But my mom said not to worry about it as long as I felt fine. Past that never had a reason

Wife is in healthcare so I got tested a few weeks ago since I had the symptoms of Omicron. Would never had tested otherwise. Went to a local testing place. Was $75 but got tested in less than 5 minutes and had the results back before the end of the day. Could not find a home test anywhere and was not going to wait 3 hours in line to get a "free" test and either have the results lost or take days to get back. Was negative but she felt better going to work the next day.

Do pregnancies go away if you stop testing for them?
lol. Did that make sense to you? Government mandates go away when you stop letting them use the test to be the justification for their overreach. Not difficult to understand. Did a politician shut down the world cause they heard you had a cough at work? No, they use these tests (which are flawed) then say "We had x cases" so "because we had x cases, we are now going to do these mandates." Take their ammunition for mandates away as these jerk offs move the goalposts all day.

Also, Ed, GFY.

In regard to your example with other leftist logic,
If a man identifies as a woman, he becomes a woman, right?
If I have cancer but I identify as someone who doesn't have cancer, the cancer is gone, right?
If I want a baby and get pregnant, it's a baby inside the womb.
But if I don't want the baby, it's no longer a baby. It's a lump of cells."

You said this all goes away if we stop testing. That statement indicates that Covid goes away which is completely false. All this is not just mandates. Covid is still an issue with or without the testing. So my point remains. The rest of your post is nonsense designed to deflect which deserves no response. The latest studies show that covid might shrink male parts and result in infertility. We can only hope that is true for some of the anti vaxxers/anti-testers in this thread.

Anyone who has a user name of KingofBBN has an overinflated value of their own opinion and self worth. You aren't nearly as important as you evidently think you are. King my ***. More like court jester.

1) Under no circumstances have I at any time from 2020-2022, been under the delusion that a virus goes away unlike many in your political affiliation. I was obviously referencing the absurd and illogical mandates.

2) LOL I'm glad you're dissecting my user name. Sorry to burst your bubble but it's not that deep. It's just a pro wrestling reference.

"The latest studies show that covid might shrink male parts and result in infertility. We can only hope that is true for some of the anti vaxxers/anti-testers in this thread."

😆 Oh, we all better run out and get that experimental vaccine! Eff any of the side effects from a vaccine, 200 people in a study said they had shrinkage after having the flu. Did the study even distinguish those guys were vaccinated or not? Not important, dumb as **** scare tactic.

That really is fascinating. The testing is 100% based on absolute hysteria. I don't understand the reason for it from a logical standpoint. It's not cancer. You feel sick? Stay the eff home. Eat chicken soup, take some meds and vitamins til you feel better. WTF is the reason for inviting the health department into your life? Why give the government more and more info? What is a covid positive going to change for you? Do you feel bad? Stay home. Not bothered and have a tiny tickle in your throat? GO ABOUT YOUR GD DAY!

We didn't shut the world down before 2020 cause someone had a slight cough or headache yet, we are seeing people engage in this nonsense. What we have now, are people whose minds are so long gone that they're getting tested constantly, running to the hospital as if they are going to die and running to social media to act as if they're survivors of the deadliest disease.

Media and bureaucrats have done a number on mental health. You have millions of people who are terrified to be around anyone now unless they have a useless mask. A few months back, I saw a father freak out because his son touched something in a book store. You can go to a grocery store or Target to see who the zombies are- they're the ones terrified of seeing an unmasked person just existing.
The willingness to believe and dependence on all things social media and the MSM by a large chunk of society was already scary before COVID, and it’s absolutely terrifying now. I know people, very successful, intelligent adults, who are mortified of COVID and will gladly do anything the govt tells them in order to “be safe”. They are essentially zombies at this point when it comes to anything Rona related and I’m not sure they will ever be able to fully participate in society due to their fear.

The past two years has proven how easy it is to control a lot of the population, especially the “young and educated” portion. That’s terrifying knowing theater these people will be running businesses and governments in the coming decades. And I don’t know if this damage can be reversed.

Why are you so angry? Who hurt you? Maybe telling your story will help.

The old and uneducated are much more of a threat than any group.

So... the vaxx doesn't work? Shocked...

Scared people should stay home. Leave the "living" to those of us willing to take the "risk".
Depends how you define “works”. Can you still get it or a variation, yes. Are you 99% less likely to die if you have it. Yes. Do you consider that “working”.

It goes away when they want it to go away. These waves come and go. You can't do anything about it.


UK is only ten days into the freefall. They are still multitudes higher in cases than they ever have been. They better reverse course before it's too late. Surely if mitigation worked, they could save even more lives by keeping up the charade.

Boris says that in six weeks that they are treating it as the flu.


How can they operate that way? It's seems so reckless. Don't they realize the damage that will be done if they remove their masks so close to the finish line?

Didn't they see what happened when the United States libs took their masks off for 7/4/21? They took their masks off for one holiday and we ended up with another long dark winter.

Don't they know about the ebolacovidflu variant coming?

Would love to know how India and Japan almost eliminated Covid.

See: deaths per million population

Yeah each one is so unique. You would usually need to go to a GED exam site to find such people.
I take it you do not think highly of people who attain their GED. Ed, you continue to check the boxes for an elitist political.

Lol good thing the government turned this over to the always extremely efficient postal service. What could go wrong? Certainly not a massive delay in people being able to get tests they could otherwise obtain at will.

They'll be to the destination just in time to catch the very tail end of the omicron wave.

If anything, this pandemic should've proven beyond a doubt why government needs excluded from most everything

Get with your health insurance company to get reimbursed for the test.

I can’t remember a time I mailed either a letter or package that didn’t get to it’s intended location.
