Why did you even test?

Fair question, @Lhalo must have some symptoms.

I was in a packed grocery store today. Nobody was wearing a mask.

Not sure how you catch it these days if nobody is sick.

Still haven't had COVID. I also wash my hands though so maybe that's the difference.

Handwashing does little for Covid.  It's more respiratory I believe.  

And I haven't gotten it either.  With how much I spend unmasked in the outdoors, and spending days camping in less than sanitary conditions.  Not to mention in casinos, which is as sanitary as a public toilet.  I think this thing is just a crapshoot.  

Just like RSV.  I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time, and got that.

My wife and I (and our kids) haven't gotten it either.

Nope. He's on the soccer team. His best friend is the starting right tackle. He's already received offers from San Diego St and Indiana.

Huh? Didn’t Biden go on 60 Minutes and state this thing was over?

Access “no-year” funds appropriated to the Public Health Emergency Fund to rapidly respond to immediate needs resulting from the PHE, or to rapidly respond to a potential PHE when the Secretary determines that there is a significant potential for a PHE.  The Fund may be used to facilitate coordination among federal, state, local tribal, and territorial entities and public and private health care entities affected by the PHE; to make grants, provide for awards, enter into contracts and conduct investigations including further supporting the Public Health Emergency Preparedness, Hospital Preparedness and Regional Health Care Emergency Preparedness awards; facilitate and accelerate advanced research and development of medical countermeasures; strengthen biosurveillance and laboratory capacity; support initial emergency operations related to preparation and deployment of National Disaster Medical System teams; and carry out other activities determined applicable and appropriate by the Secretary.  The Secretary must report to Congress 90 days after the end of the fiscal year about any funds spent from the Public Health Emergency Fund, the emergency for which funds were spent, and activities undertaken with respect to the emergency. Public Health Emergency Funds supplement, but do not supplant, other Federal, State, and local funds provided for public health grants, awards, contracts, and investigations.

Chances of Cals getting Australian Covid just went up significantly.  Or maybe Cals already was spreading US Covid?

Fuck sake, you’re the one who had a panic attack over omicron.  I told that story to all the aussies and they loved it.  The mask story, too.

Tell the Aussies I hope they enjoyed their lockdowns. Talk about a country who just gave up all their rights. Sheesh.

What does that have to do with your panic attack and mask hoarding?
