Testing positive doesn't mean much to me.

Yeah, the stadiums are already empty...play the game

Infecting your other under 40 pro athlete body types means nothing. Quarantine hospitals and nursing homes. Everyone else go on with your life. The only person in the sports media calling out this idiocy is Clay Travis. Need more like him. Young or middle age people telling everyone in their age groups and younger to get on with life.

on the white side cut along the bottom with a blade. then rip the thick middle layer out. it rips easy on the perforation. that leaves you with a much more breathable mask and it’s hard to tell. i’ve gone a step further and also ripped the white inner layer out to wear most of the time. it’s a little more obvious but no one pays attention. it’s like not having anything in from a breathing standpoint. still annoying from a feel though around the ear and face etc. Previous Message Previous Message they are around no demographic that struggles with this virus. it’s a fear cult. snap out of it.

Previous Message I could take full breaths, but it didn't seem like I was getting in oxygen for some reason. Note, I had been wearing the stupid mask for about 30 minutes prior to this. Then I did the worst thing possible...googling symptoms. It said that shortness of breath was an advanced sign of COVID-19. Great, last thing I wanted to do was infect the boomer down the hallway from me. Hence, I walked a few blocks to an urgent care place and they listened to my lungs. They sounded fine, but went ahead and tested me anyway. Then, I'm worried all weekend about getting a false positive and being stuck at home for 10-14 days. Yesterday morning, they called and said the test was negative. So at least I've got that going for me. When a man lies he murders some part of the world. Repeal #19.

Went through the exact same thing the week leading up to July 4th.

The Sunday prior, I laid down to take a nap and had terrible trouble breathing along with chest pain and pressure. All classic symptoms of Covid aside from the #1 symptom which is a high fever. I monitored my temps every 4-6 hours for the next 2 days and all tested normal readings. But my mother said I should go get a test, so I got the brain-stab test done and 2 days later the results came back negative. I was worried too that I might test positive because although I work from home and am pretty much a home-body, I had been previously around my folks. Including my Dad who has diabetes from having Agent Orange from his days in Vietnam. But luckily I was fine. Think my breathing issues were from asthma flareups from this crazy humidity we've been experiencing this summer.

I didn't get the brain stab version. He just stuck it up deep in my nose.

Previous Message There's been lot of hospitals and doctor offices delaying or cancelling routine physical screenings. There's going to be far more people die of not catching prostrate, breast, pancreatic, lung, or liver cancer in time because of the emphasis on the chinese sniffles. Cancer will kill you. This won't. If people think they got cancer, check them for it.
