As of yesterday, I know 3 more people with COVID. Thus far, nasty cold symptoms, but they are all young and healthy. [/quote] :hf: It's been increasing among our circle of family and friends as well, same as you describe it. Mostly nasty cold symptoms. There's a part of me that wants to believe this virus is going to mutate itself down to where it's manageable like the Spanish Flu did, but I just can't forget that this thing escaped from a level 4 biolab and showed indications of genetic manipulation. That's why I'm not letting my guard down just yet. We'll see what happens over the next 18 months or so and then I might start to relax. If we're still here, that is. [/quote] I remember back in the day, when 'nasty cold symptoms' were simply just a 'cold'. The only thing that escaped from the lab in China was media driven fear. [/quote] COVID is definitely real. What I find curious is why it is just an obnoxious cold for some, but death for others. It killed 2 of my friends last year who were fit and healthy. One lived in a small town, other in a very rural area. So, no exposure to crowds and such. I know several, in spite of being careful, have had multiple infections. Others with repeated exposure, not careful at all, but have not gotten it. The entire thing makes little sense. No solid recognizable patterns. To me, it is lab cooked. Nothing else makes sense. [/quote] I agree LJS. Given my infection and current living arrangement I have no idea how I got it so easily yet those around me did not. It’s almost as if one has to be primed to receive it and for it to be primed to be received. It makes no sense that something so infectious does not attach itself to an entire group. Also agree with you on the severity and outcome. Only thing I can say is that it will exploit whatever weakness it finds. So perhaps those you knew that were healthy may have had something unknown that the virus found. Sorry you have lost so many. [/quote] Guythu, I still maintain that 25 years from now they will discover that susceptibility to Covid is dependent on a specific gene sequence that is completely random and unrelated to anything else. [b]I think some people are genetically immune to it and some people are genetically susceptible to it. Severity of infection might also be decided genetically.[/b] That's not to say that I think this virus was created to target a specific human genome. I just think that's how it works. [/quote] Could explain why several of my half siblings, and their children, have caught it, but I have not, nor have my children. I have no full siblings. [/quote]

Since Clever Creator's thread has been taken over by AC keyboard warriors who have no function in life other than trolling web forums, creating this thread for our continuing discussion on world events:
- Covid
- Russia/Ukraine
- China/Taiwan
- US civil unrest
Or whatever else comes our way.
Everyone with a registered account is welcome here. AC's are banned from posting. I have only one rule: Treat others with respect even if you disagree with their position. This is
discussion
, not
argument
. I don't care who you voted for in the last election and I don't care who you're voting for in the next one. Keep it civil.
