Never underestimate the power of the farce.

O Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power, and idle talk.
(Prostration)

But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to Your servant.
(Prostration)

Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own transgressions, and not to judge my brother, for blessed are You, unto ages of ages. Amen.
(Prostration)

A coward dies every day. A brave man dies but once.

Holy crap, people in the article...get the hell over it!

You guys are pissing your life away over an overblown cold.

EVEN if mortality is slightly higher in the old, its still minuscule!

Here’s the deal...something I began posting about one year ago:

Reality check.

COVID-19 is airborne.

That means, “in the air, everywhere”.

It is ENDEMIC.

We will ALL get exposed..over and over.
MANY of us will “test positive”, mostly without symptoms.
SOME of us will be “symptomatic”, and a subset will be really sick.
And (unfortunately) a FEW of us will die.

This is NOT the Bubonic plague.
This is NOT the Spanish Influenza.

You can’t mask it away.
You can’t [anti]”socially distance” it away.
You can’t even “deep clean” it away.
And {{{shudder}}} YOU CAN’T EVEN VACCINATE IT AWAY!

Tear off that face diaper.
Breathe deeply. Inhale some COVID.
Build up your immune system.
And LIVE!

Agree and I see patients with it every day. Have two in hospital now. I never wear a mask outside work unless it’s required. I’m not young either.

“You can’t go out and replace friends like that at my age,” Axelrod said.

Now, the only person he talks to on a regular basis is Kimmel, his therapist.

Funny how that works..

I like the part about “even seniors who are fully vaccinated…”

In a real world they would have stated, ‘because the vaccines are useless in preventing the CCP virus’.

This article is spot on for my older siblings. It’s so sad, and I don’t see any way for them to get over their fears. All of this has been blown out of proportion and it has had severe effects on my family. I try to help them get over their fears but their children are keeping them trapped out of fear. Their kids are local, and I am many states away. None of them are “living”.

Drama queens. I’m going on 62, female, working two full time jobs and couldn’t care less about the Plandemic (other than its assault on freedom)

Probably good advice.
Too many mindless “Kens” and “Karens” wringing their hands.

The article underscores a continuing Covid threat and the people so hungry for their old lives and human connection described therein are still hiding under their beds. Whatever.

I have three living grandparents aged 84-91. One of them has Parkinson’s and one has kidney disease. The third one had a double-bypass back in his 60s. In the past 30 days they all three got COVID and all three of them survived. Time to stop worrying about it folks…

I’m guessing there’s not a single Christian that was quoted in this article. I will qualify my remarks by stating that I am far from a perfect Christian, but one theory I had throughout this whole thing is that Christians were basically the least fearful of covid because they don’t fear death. And I’d caution anyone that may not be elderly just yet then if you are not a believer in Jesus Christ as your savior then you will encounter the same fear these people have at some point in your latter life.

Thats ridiculous.

I was sick and disabled when covid hit. Had no problem handling the isolation until my home and community burned and was forced to be homeless and leave everything in my life that was familiar. No matter the reason, no one wants to friend the homeless victim

That’s exactly my sister. She’s 69. She’s been hiding for nearly two years now. Briefly ventured out a little last year after vaccinations. Then Delta hit. It took our oldest brother, who was almost 71. Well, truthfully, his overweight, diabetic body couldn’t fight the virus. He is in incredibly missed. Needless to say, my sister is so afraid. Even though she was recently sick with a cold, and survived without going to the hospital, she seems convinced she’s about to die. So what does she do? She stays away from everyone and everything, except for seeing her grandchildren every few weeks. She has totally withdrawn from society. She is not happy. Very depressed, but she has always fought that. This has taken her to a new level of low. I have to watch it happen. I have tried, but she won’t listen to me. She is so afraid. Thanks Fauci, et al.
