Wife Has COVID-19

[HIT4ME]

Come on man the over the top Biden hate is getting ridiculous here. Covid-19 death rates have been much higher for visible minorities throughout the entire pandemic right from the beginning. There are various socio-economic factors at play here that will continue to exist whoever the president of the day happens to be at any present moment. Things like availability of quality healthcare (it's no surprise that lower income Americans receive far worse health care than higher income earners) and exposure rates due to nature of employment (service industry workers like grocery store workers and industrial jobs like packing plant workers have both been hit very hard) are both major factors. Add in the fact that the poorer class of Americans are more likely to live in crowded conditions and also more likely to have chronic health conditions and you have an unfortunate recipe for increased covid-19 fatality rates.

He did not even mention Biden here - but his statement gets back to the shifting of burden point I made earlier. The haves vs. The have-nots.

The vaccine could be making the virus more deadly to the unvaccinated - not stating a fact, just a supported hypothesis - which is taking the burden that the "haves" would carry, and pushing it onto the "have-nots". It is OK though because what you have is a vaccine in this case, not money directly.

But you haven't heard any of the people supporting BLM complaining, have you? Aren't they looking out for equality?

There is a much more simpler reason behind this than "the biden admin"

do tell....

in march 2021 biden said that by july4th 2021 we would have INDEPENDENCE DAY from covid, and that it would be in rear mirror...do you have a problem with accountability--when i ran my business if i had told my employees something such as this you can bet your ass they would have held me accountable if it didn't happen...and they would expect me to give good reasons why?

biden was elected because he promised to do a better job handling the covid--where are the results?

Cheers mate.
One other symptom to report. After eating dinner last night it felt the whole jaw area and cheek bones were aching like hell all the way up to my head. Like I said the amount of symptoms is odd with this thing.

I hope everyone has a Merry Xmas and good health

MERRY CHRISTMAS

you read that straight from a script--i saw the same script and i call bullshyt--while there may be some truth to this the vast majority of poor Americans are white and poverty along with poor medical care transcends skin color--THE ONE COLOR THAT TRULY MATTERS IS GREEN.

the whole point on my posting those statistics was to point out that up to the date of those statistics blacks and latino's were per capita much less likely to be vaccinated than whites...the whole agenda of get vaccinated or you get what you deserve campaign disproportionately affected minorities.

i'm sorry but the biden admins whole attitude in his war on unvaccinated has been get vaccinated or fuckem--this is a cold hearted, inhumane approach, imo...the biden admin has expressed more concern for illegal immigrants crossing our border illegally than for unvaccinated citizens.

How many days in are you now? Are you taking supplements like high dose C to assist?

Hi mate. Got first symptoms on Friday 17th with a slight cough (no phlegm) and general malaise...then as per previous post the symptoms multiplied over the weekend till Tuesday 21st Dec. So am on 6th day post symptoms although likelyhood is I picked it up on the night of 15th Dec.
So today on waking up I did another lateral flow test and boom - positive within 2 minutes. Feel alot better though today...no cough/phlegm energy is better although still a bit tired and pulse oxy meter showing 96%
I have been taking the following supplements to help:

Vit D 10'000 IU a day
NAC 1400 mg a day
Multi vit - Reflex pro
CQ 10 300mg a day
Vit B3 600mg a day
Vit C 1000mg a day

correct, i did not mention biden in that post but as a former president once stated-'the buck stops here',and since biden is president he should be held accountable for his policies or lack of...

actually there were several BLM protests in NYC over vaccine mandates-much to the chagrin of those who would like us to believe it is MAGA who aren't getting vaccinated-the groups that were lagging in vaccine percentage up until just recently were minorities--new statistics show that gap closing, but there is still a significant percentage of unvaccinated minorities.

so when social media 'warriors' go on internet and say if MAGA doesn't get vaccinated fuckem let them die--they are just being ingorant HATERS...but the bad part is they are getting this attitude from the top and the biden admin WAR on unvaccinated.

@thanosnap @Ricky10 Quick question for you guys and anyone who might can answer this for me....

GF is a lawyer, works in an office with seven other people. Someone in her office tested positive from a PCR test taken on Tuesday. She had minimal contact (girl stood outside her office and talked to her. They were not masked at the time) with her on Monday. Everyone in the office shares the common areas in the office and when they are in the common areas they wear masks. Girl had ZERO symptoms Monday and Monday night. Apparently she went to a party Monday night, ate some seafood that she normally doesnt eat and woke up Tuesday morning before work, felt nauseous and started throwing up. She assumed it was food poisoning but got a Rapid PCR test out of precaution and it was positive

Should also mention GF is vaxxed (April was 2nd dose) and had a breakthrough infection a few days before labor day in September.

The whole office took rapid test this morning and they was all negative. We also had a PCR test scheduled for tomorrow since we were going to be around family for Christmas Eve & Christmas. If its negative do yall think she good to be around Christmas day? I ask because it would only be 3 days post exposure

Accountability only applied to the previous administration. Accountability applied to the current administration amounts to over the top hate. It should be no surprise, with the double standard sanctioned by the current administration, a compliant mainstream media and their useful idiots in the general population, that tensions and temperatures are on the rise. If anything the Biden administration has been treated far more kindly here and elsewhere than it deserves.

since biden ran on the platform of doing a better job specifically on handling of covid-19 i would expect those that were screaming trump had blood on his hands to expect more accountability from biden than what we have gotten--where are the biden has blood on his hands posts--i even remember television anchors saying trump has blood on his hands...

other than 'get vaccinated' what agenda has the biden admin presented for stopping the enormous amount of lives being lost on HIS watch?

Yeah it's weird how it all works isn't it. My wife has had 2 vax but hardly any symptoms at all. Others I know who caught it pre vaccines were either totally fine or were in s**t state with it.

My smell and taste thankfully are still there. Xmas Dinner couldn't been a write off otherwise.

Glad to hear your improving, but you have a lot of room to increase that vitamin C.

Cheers yes you are right about the vit c....Will adjust accordingly.
Also just read some research paper stuff online about how effective Sr9009 'could' be against covid infections:

'The team next tested the effect of a synthetic agonist, S9009, which modulates circadian pathways by activating REV-ERB, a BMAL1 repressor, on SARS-CoV-2 infection. Treating Calu-3 cells with S9009 reduced BMAL1 activity, reduced ACE2 but had no effect on TMPRSS2 expression, and S9009 also reduced SARS-CoV-2 infection. Treating primary bronchial epithelial cells with SR9009 also reduced infection by the SARS-CoV-2 pseudoparticle.'

Whether it translates to effectiveness in humans is obviously unknown but interesting none the less.

I am not them nor am I an expert - but my buddy just had this same thing happen. He had someone stay with him last week from across the country. He was heading on a 4 hour trip today to see his parents and his wife got a call from their guests (who are now back home across the country) that one of them tested positive with a PCR test. He actually carries a rapid test in the car with him (he travels around a lot) and had some at home. He and his wife both tested negative with the rapid tests but he decided it wasn't worth the risk to visit his elderly parents if he had any exposure.

So, I guess that's my .02 - if you make someone sick, is it worth the risk? Will the people you could infect accept that risk if you told them?

Not sure it is what you want to hear or if it is even helpful. Just some outside thoughts. I hope it's somewhat helpful, if not - you got what you paid for

don't you need to show ID to be vaccinated?

It's not like the guy was handed the football on the 1 yard line and ended up fumbling a sure touchdown, he inherited a huge mess from the previous administration and has been left to try to clean up the mess.

Your argument isn't really working here as you aren't being consistent in your logic. Yes it is true that there are more poor white Americans in total, but the report you were quoting is referencing death rates of blacks, latinos, indigenous and pacific islanders, not raw totals. Blacks and hispanics each have more than twice the proportion living below the poverty line compared to whites, and relatedly we see that they are suffering from twice the fatality rate from covid infections.

I don't think it's necessarily true that blacks and hispanics are more hesitant to receive vaccinations compared to whites, it very well may be more of an issue to accessibility to vaccination that is behind much of the lower vaccination rates in these groups.

"The actual narrative should be that as a group, white Americans are more hesitant to get vaccinated than non-white Americans," Caballero said.

New surveys have bolstered that case.

According to the latest Invalid Link Removed, which broke down attitudes toward the COVID-19 vaccine by race, white and Black adults were similarly wary about getting vaccinated. An estimated 12% in each group said they would "definitely not" or "probably not" get a vaccine when it was available to them, compared to 10% of Hispanic adults who responded that way.

Yeah I think the Trump administration greatly mishandled this pandemic right from the very beginning. Shortly before the pandemic began the United States was rated the best prepared country in the planet to handle a pandemic outbreak.

"Johns Hopkins, highly respected, … they did a study, comprehensive, the countries best and worst prepared for an epidemic," Trump said in the White House briefing room. "And the United States, we're rated No. 1."

The study he referenced is Invalid Link Removed, the first-ever comprehensive ranking of 195 countries on their pandemic preparedness. Though the U.S. does sit atop the rankings, overall the report—produced by the Invalid Link Removed at the university's Invalid Link Removed, the Invalid Link Removed, and Invalid Link Removed—paints a discouraging picture of global readiness.

"National health security is fundamentally weak around the world," the Invalid Link Removed. "No country is fully prepared for epidemics or pandemics, and every country has important gaps to address."

To develop the index, a process that took two and a half years from start to finish, the project team created a framework of 140 questions, organized into six categories and 34 indicators to assess a country's capabilities. Out of a possible score of 100, the average score of all countries assessed was 40.2.

The U.S. scored 83.5 and ranked No. 1 in five of six categories: prevention, early detection and reporting, rapid response and mitigation, sufficient and robust health system, and compliance with international norms.

I think most people are missing the key component- the USA was always in a terrible spot due to the horrible health of the majority of Americans. Educated people saw this coming. You can't be overweight, obese, diabetic, high bp/cholesterol, no exercise regime, and obviously poor eating habits and think things are going to turn out OK. There are not healthy individuals dying obviously from the virus. It was always a perfect storm for this virus.

Where is the cherry picking? I'm just not agreeing with a good chunk of your presented arguments as they look to be based more on conjecture and emotion rather than backed up with logic and facts. The fact that minorities are being disproportionately killed by covid infections is a complicated issue with a vast number of compounding factors which can't easily be addressed by a single man in such a short period of time. Unless Joe Biden is somehow able to end racial poverty with the stroke of a pen I'm not sure what you honestly expect him to do here.

I wouldn't necessarily say I'm a big Biden supporter but I certainly prefer his approach compared to the bluster and bravado of his predecessor.

Again there is no president to blame. Numbers show less people died under Trump with no vaccine while up to boosters now and people still dying at a much higher rate. Worry about your health and exercise, add in diet and majority will be fine. Speaking as a non vaccine, family of 5 and all had Delta and lasted a couple days for adults. Kids half a day. Good luck as none of us want to see people getting sick.
