Have you ever asked yourself why the initial outbreak didn't happen in the area where the bats sold in the wet market were harvested? That was a considerable distance from Wuhan and (just guessing) the people catching the live bats had a considerable amount of contact with them.
My second bout I wouldn't even have tested except I was around my sister all weekend and she cares for our 90 yo father.It was your choice and no one should care what you chose to do.
I will say, and of course it’s anecdotal, but 3 of us in my office all got Covid at the same time. We’re all 3 decently healthy males between 35 and I think 43 at the time. I am not vaccinated, one had the original shot and no boosters and the other had the original shot and 2 boosters at the time. We all got it at the same time, had the same symptoms and got over it at the exact same time. That certainly doesn’t mean everyone has the same experience but just like there’s no way to prove the shot doesn’t reduce severity, there’s no way to prove it does any better than natural immunity.
As far as natural immunity, I’ve had covid twice and the symptoms were definitely lighter the second time. Maybe it was a weaker strain, maybe my immunity was higher or maybe both. The part I never understood is why what we knew about how viruses work went out the window. Not surprisingly, covid followed the typical virus track of mutating and reducing in severity as it went.
Great example right here. I wouldn’t have tested, I would’ve just stayed away but you choosing to test has absolutely no bearing on me whatsoever so I’m not going to give you crap about it just because I’d have done it differently. We’re seeing that very thing all over the place though. People can’t just disagree anymore and few actually listen to the other person’s perspective. It seems to be getting worse too. Very quickly we’re being forced into one camp or another on everything and you have to agree with everything in “your camp” or else you get pushed to the other camp. It’s insane.My second bout I wouldn't even have tested except I was around my sister all weekend and she cares for our 90 yo father.
It happens when the overarching government gets too big and starts trying to mandate things. With the media complicit you have folks that push back on the lunacy and get called conspiracy theorists. Expect a pushback from folks that refuse to take it anymoreGreat example right here.

I agree government overreaches and MSM is more opinion that fact these days but that doesn’t mean we should care what each person does to their own body.It happens when the overarching government gets too big and starts trying to mandate things.

That’s true. But we can not care and still opine. I don’t care if you play the power ball but in my opinion it’s dumb. Just don’t force me to buy a ticket.I agree government overreaches and MSM is more opinion that fact these days but that doesn’t mean we should care what each person does to their own body.
