I take a real good guess here testing? 

Last Feb 2022,  my wife tested positive on the home kit,  she has zero signs we took another test to be honest it came up close and pink. I took her to the government hospital only people they were testing charging seems to be foreigners.  

Her turn told the clerk what happened told to go home pack a bag come back tomorrow.  There was zero testing next f add y same there was hundred of people showing up with bigs packed then assigned to a hotel through town for 8-10 days.

Many of these locals were given Sino,  one had to pay for Moderna,  later PFizer was offer as booster but many locals I know wouldn't take the time to get it. 

Since late March due to hot weather, humid,  like myself cold a Flu I tested negative but this year going from hot, cold,  having A/C and fan blasting many I believe just have a bad case of the flu. 

My son came home from work not feeling well, he went to government they just told him go home take these pills at hospital for three hours after two days he didn't seem to have many of the covid symptom so I said get in car took him to private blood test etc had dengue! 

I don't <deleted> really about covid but here I'm not sure about their numbers!

Out of curiosity: why is it even still tested? By far, most countries have abandoned testing, and people who want to test have to pay the tests by themselves. Looks like previous flu infection also has an immunization effect for Covid, who would have thought that! (well, the 'conspiracy theorists' did, but they can't be taken for serious, or can they). Could it possibly be that Covy is very similar to the flu? Well, that would be way too simplified, would it. Because it's complicated and therefore, requires expensive solutions, say the experts.

Anyhow, the world has moved on, by now in most countries, it's more about who pocketed most money utilizing what has happened since 2020, and who's co-responsible for the tremendous economic, societal and psychological damage the policies caused. That 5-30% of the population catch a flu-like disease every year and that it can cause serious issues for a tiny fraction of them (particularly the ones not in good health or at high age) is nothing really new. Well it kinda was for 3 years, but now it's again not anymore. Let's move on, frens.

Yes but covid was like one of the worst strains of the flu and it spread much more. Instead of 5-30% it would have been 80%. It would not have been harmless and we would have need a bit restrictions to flatten the curve for a few weeks to not overload hospitals. But than some people noticed that they can make a lot of money from the fear.

The money aspect is in fact much worse than the tens of billions. It destroyed many small and medium size companies while the big companies made huge profits and got money from the governments....I don't mean Thailand here, I mean basically every country with very few exceptions.

Correct. What we witnessed was an abomination. There was an agenda, no doubt, and it was heinous. 

 

And now, rather than mankind showing it's better nature, we are seeing generational gouging, with silly stuff like supply chains and supply and demand, being used as an excuse. It is simple gouging. It is an opportunity for historic profiteering. It is grotesque. And we call ourselves an advanced species?

How's that vaccine working out. Didn't they say it would stop you getting and transmitting it. That's exactly what they said at the beginning. Or was that a lie to get everyone to take it.

Of course, but luckily some of us saw through all the  BS early on.

When I can find a week with Immigration open fulltime, I need to go back for a re-entry permit. I'll have a mask handy to wave at him.

We’ll certainly you have no knowledge of what the covid vaccine does !! It protects against Sever Illness , Hospitalization and Death, It never scientifically stated it stops,Prevent or immunes you from covid infection.

I suggest you further your knowledge and understanding before you blither your trolling rubbish and lies !! 

You must have drunk a lot of Kool Aid.

Good morning, ???? 

 

This just shows how accurate science is and how more foolish deniers look and sound like !! ????

Advanced species.....advanced doesn't mean that we use our big brains to do good....it works the same for doing evil.

 

Yes and the huge damage to health from the lockdowns....sitting at home and having nothing to do beside eating and drinking.

What I still don't understand how it happens that almost the whole world did the same in lockstep (beside Belarus, Sweden, Tanzania and some other African countries everyone did the same)

I just went back to teaching this week. Over half of one class and 2/3 of another were out with Covid.

 

To date, our school hasn't lost one student. They get sick, but bounce right back because they have all been vaccinated.

My family, including my 80+ year old parents and some staff in the company are not vaccinated. They got it and bounced right back (my 82 year old father needed a while, but all others)....So since Omicron it is not that bad anymore. It was all in Omicron times.

I dont know what you guys get your "info" from really!!! For me the vaccin has all the time, from the start to now, being about....

 

If you attract Covid with the vaccin you will have a lighter version of it, and therefore be better off..... Nobody has ever never said anything that it would stop Covid 100%..... And never ever said that the vaccin would stop transmitting the covid-virus.....

Every time you type something here it is enabled by science, every time you get in a plane or a care, it is enabled by science, every time you get a cold beer from your fridge and so on forever.

 

But you take your medical science from YouTube and Twitter nutters? 

And?  Why is this news?  The great WHO said the Pandemic is over!!!!!!

 

Get over Covid...it is here and will never go away!

Life goes on, stop this scam and see this as a flu.

no the beginning they said 90% this, 92% that 94%.....and gave limits that it must have so herd immunity can be achieved....that was the spin in Europe and USA

montages were officials say that it prevent infection is not medical science it is a collection of officials saying something. And that politicians lie is not complete unheard of

Correct. Except Mexico. They seem to have totally defied the world order, the IMF, or whoever was behind this shutdown stupidity. Their economy thrived and is still doing well. Growth was 3.9% this past quarter. Few jobs were lost. 

 

Why the rest of the world marched willingly, lock step into economic chaos is anyone's guess.

It's a great thread for finding out which people opinions I now have zero interest in.   

Anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists and people who keep going on about there being some organised effort to make life difficult for common people.

I got the vaccines, I'm not scared to death of Covid, but I am aware that my immune system is better than having none.

Why they still make tests here? Don't test, then you don't know you have it
