So does that mean the next stimulus will be just as viral ?

People sugar lowers the immune system, and fruit and veggies enhance it. Eat healthily and stay safe.

Just in time for midterms. I know better mail in vote.

When are they going to echo the importance of a strong immune system? Why is america so against physical health

I got all 3 vaccines 💉 and I can tell you I’m tired, not energetic anymore, and am much more sluggish

[Chris-Courage]

Covid has a Bachelors degree now? Crap!

[katz]

How can it be known which variant is dominant when SO MANY tests are being done at home? Is it a matter of extrapolation from limited data? I really want to know & understand this.

Worst version is NO LIE. I'm vaxed and boosted, have probably had covid 4 times, but I've been sick with this for 2 weeks now. I have a compromised respiratory system already.... and this weight on my chest and difficult breathing isn't letting up. Thankfully I'm still alive, but I fear this could be long term. 😔

So how are those vaccines working out for everybody?
After getting stents around my heart from the first version I asked my cardiologist about getting the vaccination, he said "only if I want to die."

Here we go, fear fear fear, bla bla. Fear, fear, bla bla bla fear fear fear, fauci, fear fear, covid, fear fear. No one listening this round. Stop your bs narritive.

If there’s one thing this pandemic has taught me, it’s that it is shocking how many people are willing to risk their life or the lives of people they care about just to get what they want.

[jamessparkman]

No I am not using masks as the new normal that is over end of story

My middle name stands for jinx. Covid will disappear by Easter.

[sonnyca]

Good thing I did not throw away the unused masks.

[JUGGERNAUT____]

You know the lab has to turn the days without incident counter back to zero...

[chrislim]

The largest social experiment in the history of the world. You're it.

[SoraFan]

I cannot stress this enough. Keep wearing your mask and social distance. If you test positive for Covid STAY HOME AND KEEP AWAY FROM OTHERS!

[madisoncarolina]

Its the End of thd World as we Kno it and i feel fine

[holland]

What do you mean “The man up stairs”🤔 does he hear voices, that’s not rational talk

[nykidd]

They'll tell me the virus is Airborne but being filthy doesn't help. These restaurants are spreading covid too by not wiping down tables and cleaning floors. After I touch a door I use hand sanitizer because people aren't even wiping off the doors or windows.
