Was at a party a week ago. Half the folks tested positive. I had sneeze first, body aches(all mild) and I tested negative twice on rapid and just got a negative PCR. I don't get it.

Literally every one I know is sick, my whole house may have this shyt except me:gucci:
That’s how viruses work. It runs it’s course and everyone will be impacted differently. My response was a reminder that even if you don’t test positive for COVID, it could be the cold or flu as an explanation. People still need to be diligent.

I don't believe this. Folks that are vaccinated and are still catching it are not following proper protocols.

And to me, proper protocols are:

Socially distancing, taking care of what you need to take care of and going home, not touching your face when you're out and about, immediately stripping your clothes when you come back into the house and Lysol them and wash them. Whenever you buy something from the store, spray it before putting it in your car and wash it when you get home. As soon as you get home, go directly to the bathroom and wash your hands. Wear gloves when out and about. Keep two masks on at all times.

That's what I do, and I haven't caught COVID (knock on wood).

I believe that the ppl who are catching it are half assing their safety measures.

U crazy breh:heh: I believe in taking calculated measures during a pandemic but u shaving off years of ur life living so stressed. Lol

Please explain. I've never seen this part in the Spanish flu history... :patrice:

How 1918 Flu Pandemic Ended and What It Means for COVID-19

Historically, most pandemics last between 2 and a half to 3 and a half years.

Over time, pandemic viruses typically mutate and evolve into an endemic disease that circulates at lower, more manageable levels.

This was the case with the influenza strain behind the 1918 flu pandemic and some virologists hope this may be happening with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Early reports suggest that the Omicron variant may cause milder infections, potentially due to its unique collection of mutations along with the buildup of immunity across the globe

Within a few years, the influenza strain behind the 1918 pandemic became less life threatening.

Dr. Keith Armitage, a professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases at Case Western Reserve University, says this is likely due to a combination of herd immunity and the virus mutating to produce a less severe illness.

The 1918 influenza strain never disappeared, rather it continued to mutate and a version of it continues to circulate to this day.

“If you think about the way viruses behave, biologically, their reason for living is to replicate and spread, and there’s really no advantage for the virus to kill the host,” said Armitage.

What a virus wants to do is infect a host and be contagious so it can infect another host and it can continue to spread.

As part of this process, respiratory viruses often mutate and become less virulent and therefore less of a serious health issue.

Def not asymptomatic :heh: I tested last Wednesday but I was the one who felt like symptoms first. By Christmas day i had major aches, chills and a 102 fever. Yesterday had a sore throat..My wife is better and I'm feeling much better today. I must've had a delayed reaction to it is all I can think of.
