Either that or they figure he has immunity from his previous bogus test. He tested negative before and after and had no covid symptoms at the hospital, but they refused to retest him or give him monoclonal antibodies which given his age he should have had if he really had covid. I think they knew it was a bogus test but they get more money for covid patients.Quote:

As a moderate introvert I'm not usually a fan of random chit chat conversations with strangers. When I commuted by transit every day in the city I always wore noise cancelling headphones to avoid them. But today at Safeway the guy in line behind me started one. We were both masked, as were maybe 60% of the customers. He asked whether I minded the mask and I responded "not at all. I've gone 2 years without getting covid, am fully vaxxed and boosted, and would just as soon remain a roadrunner." (he didn't know what a roadrunner was so I had to explain.) He also loved the story about the video on twitter six months ago or so where the homeless guy in downtown LA, responding to an antivax protester wondering why, "if covid is so dangerous why aren't all the homeless lying dead in the streets?" said "because I"m vaxxed, you dumb ****!"
In the five minutes that we were chatting the guy just seemed like a real sweetheart. And although it wasn't a surprise that he's fully vaxxed and boosted (something like 98% of the age 5+ population of the county is at least double vaxxed) he didn't look a lot like me demographically. Yeah, he was a middle aged white guy, but the similarity ended there. Whereas I look like I work in a mid-level office job and take my HBP pills reliably every evening before flossing my teeth and get up early on the weekend to do outdoorsy things, this guy looked like he'd spent the 80's in a heavy metal band and had never really abandoned that lifestyle and probably still sees the sunrise more often at the end of the evening rather than from waking up early.
1. You've never had covid that you know of. Depending on the variant up to 40% of cases can be asymptomatic.Quote:

ETA I also wonder how close you were standing to him. People stand close to others thinking the masks keep them safe. They would be much better off social distancing maskless. It would be more than a little ironic if you were crowding together congratulating each other on how safe you are.
And you should move to texas. Or at least take a few weeks to go join the trucker convoy. At least I’m living the life I want to live. All you’re doing is bitching and moaning about how much your life sucks because of a little piece of cloth.
So your a cartoon?Quote:
