  • George W Bush certainly caused more deaths, was just as decisive and is the reason Trump was allowed to happen. OK, so he’s got a bit more of a charming personality and gives Michelle Obama candy sometimes, but that doesn’t absolve him. Doesn’t absolve Trump either, he’s a loud mouthed buffoon who tried to start a Civil War. He has followers who will literally do anything he tells them to do. The idea of him having a second term absolutely terrifies me.














  • My wife caught it at work, about six months into the pandemic. Was inevitable, since she works in a grocery store. She woke up with a fever and no sense of taste or smell, and then went downhill with really bad flu like symptoms from there. I started with the same thing the next day. Main illness lasted two weeks, but the worst part was the first week by far. My wife was sick for almost 6 weeks and ended up on an inhaler for a while until her lungs healed. Neither of us got our full taste back for almost 2 years, and our smell hasn’t fully recovered yet either (about 80% now).

    We both tested positive again last June, got a mandatory week off work but the only symptom was a mild fever. Wouldn’t have even known I was sick, but a family member tested positive and we’d been to visit so took a test and there I was. I’d been vaccinated by that point, so I’m going to go out on a limb and say the vaccination did what it was supposed to do with keeping me from being sick.
