COVID-19 - On the Ground

[TDub]

Just another reminder of why lockdowns are terrible. People do not go out and get exposed to things they normally would. Now everyone is getting exposed but with immune systems that have been indoors too much.

your immune system doesn’t just forget, dumbass

true. But RSV is most impactful and typically effects/most dangerous to those under 3 years old. I dont pretend to know how it all works and/or if its related, but those under 3 probably have had less exposure to germs and viruses due to the limited contact situations over the course of the pandemic.

and i don’t necessarily disagree with the notion as it relates to that specific demographic

but this isn’t a new idea tied just to covid (despite idiots using it to make political statements)

the “hygiene hypothesis” is decades old

the bigger issues with lockdowns were a loss of vitamin D and reduced exercise…but that’s more a commentary on people not taking care of themselves rather than the lockdowns themselves

i actually got more of both during 2020, lockdowns be damned

we could go down a whole nother path as to why that's the case....and very little of it has to do with lockdowns. But I won't get into all that or I'll probably get memes slung at me or something.

Maybe people will learn to start taking better care of themselves? Thats the real lesson from covid. Exercise and a healthy nature diet to boost your immune systems is something this power grasping politicians and doctors/advisors (faucci types) never even mention and it blows my mind

That's basically all Michelle Obama did and it pissed off Republicans that the Government was lecturing them when it wasn't any of their business.

[zsn]

Mj - you just blew their brains!

[randylahey]

The endless coverage was biden faucci and his democrats government saying vaccine masks vaccine masks vaccine masks on repeat. That was was what pissed people off

Good for Michele Obama if she said that a lot. I know it certainly wasn't faucci's constant narrative but at least he did mention it once so it could never mentioned in an article

[randylahey]

But they also shut down gyms all over the country... lol

[TDub]

I know this is shocking and unbelievable....but....its possible to hike, walk or jog outside if the gyms closed....or...even if its not closed.

Lifting weights is great....cardio is what's most needed by most people with respect to this discussion. It's almost asinine to go to a gym for that when its available all around us.

Because it was unscientific. They asked Fauci about vitamins C, D and he pretended like they do nothing. It was obviously just a plan to get people into as many jabs as possible.

[KUTradition]

obviously

They kept open liquor stores. That should have been an obvious sign that we were in a plandemic.

As dumb as it sounds..

Liquor stores might have helped hold society together. Could you imagine the amount of looting and rioting if liquor stores closed. And people stuck at home without being able to have a drink.

Not to mention the thousands of Americans that would've been in the hospital with withdrawal symptoms at the start of the pandemic

Thats all I did during the pandemic. Hiking in nature. But I do a lot of that still. And before

That's true. It was just a sign to me early on that things were not as bad as what the media was pretending. A lot of people fell into the trap of drinking too much because of the lockdown. Can you really blame the government for that? Not exclusively, but it certainly made it easier.

So the widely public signature issue for Michelle Obama for eight years is in doubt but you confidently question the veracity of scientific research just based on right wing conspiracists?!?!?

I don’t know what other evidence is necessary to demonstrate that you’re resident the flat-earther and gravity-doubter of this board.

Never once have i said the earth is flat. Saying the mainstream medias narrative was to mask up and get vaccinated is not a conspiracy. Its the only thing we heard for a couple years

Michelle Obama isn't evidence of anything. Was she the focal point of media coverage? No.
