Id love to hear about how you are coping with the pandemic, how has all this affected people where u live...

I've been very lucky that for the most part I've been ok,
obviously i cant do very much except sit at the computer, i think this is a very common thing for people now.

sometimes i go for walks but the jan weather is as bad as it gets here in the UK. Not a fan of the cold, love the summer warmth.

The thing which has really changed about me is i feel i have lost quite a bit of fitness, not being able to go to the gym and lift.

yeah i can still run around a bit and do a few bodyweight exercises, but that just makes me lose weight

I get it that quite a lot of people like twinky dudes but i don't really see going under 65 kg as something i should try and do,

i need to keep some meat on those bones for good health.

my lack of fitness and weight drop is such a minor thing compared with what other people are dealing with during this dark time. My fitness can easily be recovered in a few months when its all over.

ive been reading about covid "long haulers" which is freaky, people who get covid, survive, and it never seems to go away,
they are still dealing with the symptoms like constant extreme fatigue and brain fog even long after they are clear of the virus. Creepy.

Here in the UK we are having a really bad time with the virus, we are on full lockdown again and its getting bad.
nothing much i can do but keep spirits up and shelter in place, and hope it will be over soon. It cant last forever!

how has it affected you? What are your plans?

Hope you are well!

My wife and I had it before it had a name. We did nebulizer treatments for 2 days and have been fine since.
We are country folk. We still do our horse stuff and work the fields. My wife works from home, I am retired. Our daughter goes to school like normal.
The only thing different for us is if we go to the big city everyone has a mask on, we have to remember to take ours.
It is amazing, so many folks dying of The Virus but no one has died of flu or pneumonia, just saying.
I think we are all being played.
 
Just got to get the headlines, make sense of what's going on and not listen to much to all the panic going on. Currently with the new variant spreading fast more cases are being reported.
So I read a bit, catch up on the phone and sit at the computer and fantasize, mainly try and keep my head straight. Walk a bit when allowed and try to remain positive.
Dies depend where you live as to what you see and experience, my cousins in Australia live in no mans land and so so are lucky enough not to come into contact with many people but realise the wisdom of being careful. As for being played, well we are all entitled to our own thoughts but my friend works in the medical centre and I get reports.
 
Its been such a boring and depressing months so far. I keep on trying my best to be productive as much as I can, working on computer and learning as much as possible. The worst part is that we don't get an opportunity to travel or at least get a date, but I find that too risky during pandemic. If the new covid strain and some other diseases coming up as they predicted, it's going to be really difficult to face new challenges. I will just keep on trying to work and stay positive at least. Stay safe ya'll. Cheers!

I have several MD friends. They have a 100% cure rate. An 84 y/o man one lung removed and lung cancer in the other had The Virus, 28 hours of in home treatment he is fine.
They have been treating SARS for 15-16 years with this method. I had pneumonia for 5 years, a 48 hours course cured me. It is simple ozone in a nebulizer, stinks but works.
We are told our hospitals are over flowing with dead and dying. In November my M-I-L was in the hospital with cardiac issues. They had 1 of 5 floors open, staff laid off and had zero people with The Virus. Big hospital chain in town took federal money to get a mobile morgue, refrigerated trucks, millions of dollars, never been used.
A friend of mine is an assistant ME, every The Virus death she did a post mortem exam on would have been flu or pneumonia last year. The county gets big bucks from the fed to say it is The Virus. The local government gets too much money, it is their new cash cow.
 
Welcome to the world of the conspiracy - there is a difference between covid and flu etc ...in the us I cant say...
My advice is stay safe, stay secure and don't mingle,.
 
I'm fearing that 2021 might become the year of the "mutant strain of coronavirus" - we just don't know how it will all play out. Will NZ double-down on our quarantine and flight restrictions to maintain our little antipodean bubble? Will vaccine distribution beat the tide?

Even though everything is open here and kiwis have just completed a wonderful summer of holidays within our own borders - the pandemic and the lockdowns still weigh on me.
 
Controversial misinformation bothers me the most:mad:. I am pissed that I can't make any plans for escape, and that I still am suffering from disillusionment. It won't effect me.

I'm impatient. Facing reality means there will be changes in my lifestyle, and normality will never exist. I'm frustrated, because I don't adjust well to changes. I was never normal, because I always imagined an ideal life existed. I am afraid we will still be battling our confusion in 2022.

I have already enjoyed it, I leak blood for research and antibody treatment when called.
I also live in a farming community, we have more John Deere than we do horses and we have far more horses than we do people and more cattle than anything.
We tested 4 cows with the human test, they all have it. The doctor for the University laughed and said it’s a great test.
I have had the curtain pulled away a little. I have seen it as a research subject, have MD friends and then my doctor friend wanted to see what would come back from a cow and a horse. None of our horses had a snotty nose, cows always do.
It has stopped passing the smell test lately. I played along at first, “To slow the spread, flatten the curve...” that was 10 months ago.
There is threat of making a sexually transmitted disease. That makes it a felony to have sex unless you and your partner have not been outside for 2 weeks. The threat was the same charge as not informing of your HIV status. The idiots are drafting the law now under emergency health orders. Nothing has been said of it this year but all of our .gov minders have only now returned from the family reunions for Christmas.
 
Comical relief from @Uniballer:laughing:. :rolleyes:Never quite understood agricultural humor. Despite growing up in a town of 5000, surrounded by dairy farms for 60 miles in every direction, the community wouldn't share their "secret", superior understanding of facts.
 
interesting, i honestly have no idea whats going on. i read that near the market in Wuhan there is a level 4 biohazard lab for studying bat coronaviruses. not many of those labs. Hell of a coincidence...
lab leak hypothesis is a possibility.. but if its true how did that happen and why.. was it done on purpose? is there some conspiracy here? Those things they have locked up in there need to be treated as securely as nuclear weapons.
if we are being played, which is at least possible... why? whats going on?
turn up the X-files tune..
 
@Hugh_Mungus Isn't it just a very plausible notion that:

If bat viruses are a credible threat to human life, then:
  1. Humans would study those viruses in labs, and
  2. Those labs would be more likely to be somewhat proximate to populations of bats rather than distant from them
