#1 Swabs made in China. How convenient.

#2 The scam is winding down. Everyone invested in it is slowly backing out on their lawyers advice.

#3 

Every time you shop take a minute to note the NEW 70% off lower prices for exactly the same hand sanitizers bottles and masks. eg. Wally World was $3.97 now $1 a bottle. 50 paper Masks was $49.95 now $18.95.

Heck at my area Wally Worlds they are now even giving away a free small bottle for a Pet Donation.

It has to make you wonder how screwed over we the customers were by the Big Box Stores?

#4 

BTW: Just had 2 immediate family (17y and 52y) come down with C-19/21D.

Both are "currently" mild flu like cases at best.

One (52) had been Vax'd about 2 or 3 months ago along with his wife, who did NOT get infected?

The older one "was/is" a Route Fresh Food salesman.

#5 Both the case numbers and fatalities were grossly exaggerated. Effective treatments were suppressed. Doctors who spoke out were silenced. But we can trust the vaccine, so nobody worry!

#6 I don't know if this is the test but the one they had in late Trump had some kind of 'spinning' involved and my wife (a nurse) was telling me she believed they were overspinning which creates false-positives. Then after Biden was elected they reduced the recommended amount of spinning and the number of cases mysteriously dropped across the board.

#7 I never bought into the hysteria, so I never bought gallons of overprices sanitizer, hundreds of masks that were useless, or wore glove when I was shopping.

Now, I can buy dusk masks and nitrile work gloves for pennies on the dollar.

I feel a bit sorry for people who bought into (and bought) the hype because they believed the lies. Just a bit, though.

#9 I’m awfully glad that for a while, at least, New York City regularly cleaned and sanitized the subway cars — for the first time in a very long time.

#10 my wife (a nurse) was telling me she believed they were overspinning which creates false-positives

Yeah, that was the PCR test. The test amplifies a small amount of DNA. How many cycles you run determines the degree of amplification. Doing too many cycles makes the test overly sensitive and you start picking up viral wreckage instead of actual virus particles. Hence, the false positives.

#11 Rural hospital near us is getting overloaded with covid cases again. And short-staffed - lots of their nurses have gotten burned-out and quit.

#12 Some forced to quit if they refuse jab. My area Doctors aren't forced but nurses are.

#13 California man who mocked vaccines on social media dies of COVID-19

More:

Friedman is on the frontline, treating COVID patients at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He said the hospital has seen a tenfold increase in COVID admissions.

“Virtually every single person that is getting sick enough to be admitted to the hospital has not been vaccinated,” he said.

#14 That half of the country not in thrall to your narratives won’t submit to your supposedly superior powers of reasoning and your empathic, nurturing concern for their well-being. They are quite convinced, based on a shit-ton of evidence and lived experience, that they are being played by a degenerate regime not at all run in their interests… that lies to them reflexively and incessantly. https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/in-a-hall-of-mirrors-you-have-to-break-some-glass-to-see-clearly/

#15  “Virtually every single person that is getting sick enough to be admitted to the hospital has not been vaccinated,” he said.

Exactly what we would expect to happen following mass vaccination. The question is how sick those admitted to the hospital are, and how many are in the sickest group versus the numbers at peak.
