Don’t worry, it’s mild. Also a chinese engineered bioweapon. And also a hoax. Humanity has always lived with various pox viruses and we are doing fine, so don’t trust any vaccine they try to poison you with. Also it can be treated by drinking apple cider vinegar. Don’t believe the fearmongers people! KENNEDY 24

I am a serious economist, and the reason vaccines aren’t free is because then a small number of people will just keep getting them and use up the supply, leaving none for everyone else.

There was a suspected case of human to human transmission of bird flu, and evidence of bird flu infecting a lot of farm workers going undetected. They are worried that if someone catches bird flu and seasonal flu at the same time, the two viruses could exchange genetics and kick off a new pandemic.

An mpox case was just found in Sweden.

It’s only killing 4x as many people as the flu, you know, like all typical colds.

they cheated!

There has been three or four studies, and they all show long covid risk going up with repeat infections. The damage from infections accumulates with each infection, and Iirc we have about a 4% chance of developing long covid after every infection. Essentially the same chance as rolling snake eyes on a pair of dice.

The problem now is the lack of covid testing and the wide range of symptoms and their severity. People chalk it up to aging or “sometimes bodies just do that”. It’s hard to definitively track the risk to know whether it’s improving or not.

With how infectious the virus is, and how much of the body it can attack, and how rapidly it’s mutating (approx 4x faster than the flu), the protection we get from a vaccine or exposure doesn’t last long enough. Getting covid 2-3 times a year if you drop all precautions seems like a really, really bad idea.

It seems to depend on the person, some people quit without feeling anything (or claim to). I don’t take very much (9g a day max) and don’t take it regularly, so I’ve avoided becoming too dependent I think, but if I take it a few days in a row and stop, i feel a little rougher than usual for about a day or two. Sometimes it feels like I have a cold coming on the day after, and I get more tired than usual for one or two days. If I stop at night, I can feel it the next day by the afternoon, so that’s about the window of time you are at.

Thank you. My preference would be the IWW, and they have a big presence around here, but was told the way they organize might not be a great fit for our kind of store. I’ll suggest we contact multiple organizations.
