Pointless. Please give me back the last 2 and a half years of my life.

I feel bad for everyone who had their lives and businesses destroyed from cities that enforced lock downs

I am 72 living in S. California and have never followed any government recommendation.

Y’all capping now - they said the vaccinated and unvaccinated are the same. You took foot shots for nothing

[adamroper]

I feel bad for all the people that were tricked in to taking the failed medical products.

We should as a country put the fault where it lies. We as a country are overweight, heart unhealthy, have diabetes and high blood pressure. If you were not in that category and under 65 you would be able to handle Covid like any flu virus. People seem to forget up to 50, 000 people die from regular flu a year. I'm sure they are also in the danger category. Eat healthy, stop junk food, sugar and excess meats. Get a little exercise everyday. It is just common sense.

Does CDC purposely make the guidelines for Covid confusing? Do you honestly think that the general population will follow a guideline that changes like the weather and it is grueling to follow?

[seattlepeaches]

Yeah and as fall approaches and the weather changes everyone better be prepared for them to do a 180!

[Agapy]

The insanity continues. Never quarantined or wore masks.

[cindypope]

I have never listened to these lying criminals and never will.

[petesspspsps]

Everything's been back to normal since February, CDC's just a "few" months behind the times...no one cares what they say anymore...

Didn’t take the jab and barely wore a mask nothing happened to me. SO I AM THE SCIENCE! All a game!

*Nobel Prize winner, Kary Mullis, inventor of PCR test:* "With PCR, if you do it well, you can find almost anything in anybody. It starts making you believe in the sort of Buddhist notion that everything is contained in everything else. Because if you can amplify one single molecule up to to something that you can really measure, which PCR can do, then there’s just very few molecules that you don’t have at least one single one of them in your body. So that could be thought of as a misuse of it just to claim that it’s meaningful. ... It’s just a process that’s used to make a whole lot of something out of something. *It doesn’t tell you that you’re sick and it doesn’t tell you that the thing you ended up with really was gonna hurt you or anything like that."*

Still a pandemic, but we're treating it like the flu, like we always should have.

Great News! No matter how bad it gets they still allow Stadiums to be filled to capacity with Non wearing Masked Patrons
😷. Isn't that wonderful! 😤

This has become a pandemic of TV watchers.

So my wife and I avoided this for the entire time since March 2020. It finally got us this last week. She’s on day 9 and I’m on day 5. Couldn’t of had worse timing. I was meant to start a new Job on Monday the 8th and I test positive Sunday the 7th. So no starting the new job until the 18th. Add on top of it that we had to vacate our apartment two months ago because of flooding while we waited for our new place we have to open on Saturday. That meant we stayed with my almost 70 year old parents and my dad is in remission from cancer. Stayed so careful for so long and now we have brought it into their home. So we both completely isolate, meals left at the door, windows open, no one in the hall at the same time. And add even more because I got it later than my wife instead of letting me anywhere near anyone I have to isolate while my dad breaks his back moving boxes because they want me far away understandably. No hug and thanks for taking us in, just waving from my car window and waiting until we test negative and have no symptoms. So now I’m sitting here with my horrible first impression at this job I worked like crazy for and parents scared half to death with the doctor saying that I could spread it up to two weeks and the cdc says never mind… Seriously?? I mean yeah I had bad symptoms for about 3 days but hearing we could of avoided all of the nonsense on the last day is a serious gut punch. God I hate Covid

[pamh.]

People lost jobs & even careers ( think military) because of all the mandates & blown out of proportion reports! Thanks to losing jobs many lost their homes, cars, etc.
And Now they say "Oops! Sorry about that!"

[rachelblack]

So they're following in the wise guidelines set by Florida?

[latinogott]

I'm still wearing my mask no matter what. This thing is not gone from the face of the earth. I got a job bills and family. No one pays my bills. Too many people depend on me :(
