I know that a lot of you think that COVID doesn’t exist. I don’t blame you, I used to be one of you (check my comment history from mid-late 2020). But, at the same time my sister (who I had just spent time with) got diagnosed with Covid, I got sick. And the symptoms were weird. Like, really weird.

I’ve had a cold a hundred times. The flu twice. A number of other upper respiratory diseases.

I have never experienced ANYTHING like what I experienced that week. And it’s not the severity (although my sister actually was hospitalized and had her husband call family members telling them she thought it was the end). I didn’t have bad symptoms, I just had weird symptoms.

First of all, it was every other day. One day I had weird “zaps” in my face that almost made my knees buckle. That night I shivered so hard I couldn’t sleep without several blankets AND turning the thermostat up to 78.

Next day, I was totally fine. Went to work, back to normal.

Next day, I was so lethargic and achy that I could barely get out of bed to use the bathroom.

Next day, totally fine.

Next day, uncontrollable deep cough. Couldn’t stop it. Lasted maybe 12 hours.

—————————————————

Anyway, this continued on and off for about a week in total. I’m convinced that Covid is real, and I’m convinced that I had it.

I am NOT convinced that it’s nearly as deadly as they say or as dangerous as they say. I just believe that a virus exists that is testable, and it’s contagious.

Well, my younger sister went to my parents’ house for a couple weeks leading up to Christmas. Shortly after, she felt sick, and tested positive for Covid. Immediately after, my parents tested positive.

My family is conservative, but my parents also take care of their parents, who are obviously quite old, and they’re not willing to risk that the media is lying for the sake of their parents’ lives. I don’t blame them.

Christmas at my parents was canceled, with the exception of my younger sister, who is already there sick alongside them.

I told them that I wasn’t concerned, that I believed in natural immunity, and that I’d like to come.

I’m the only person in my immediate family to be attending our Christmas this year, and three out of the four (including me) people that will be there have tested positive for Covid.

I’m not afraid, but we’ll see what happens. If I’m in the hospital in a couple weeks, maybe it’ll mean something. If I’m not (which I expect), it’ll mean something more.

If you can’t, then it’s fucking weird.

Again, your ignorance is showing. Go ask a doctor, not some random person on Poal, you absolute dolt.

I don’t need to ask a doctor, I already know. The problem is that I can’t show you every single account of an illness in history to show you that it’s not normal.

All you’d need is one medical reference outlining such symptoms and this conversation would be over.

But you can’t. And you know you can’t.

I already know.

You don't know shit.

The problem is that I can’t show you every single account of an illness in history to show you that it’s not normal.

Then what the hell are you on about in the first place? Shut the fuck up you dumb motherfucker before you make yourself look even more ignorant and low IQ.
