I don't understand how I thought I was surrounded by more based friends, now all of a sudden they're getting colds and jumping to go get tested. Or the other situation is when I share info proving it's a scam, the tests dont work, etc, and they say "no we all got covid a few months ago, it wasnt that bad but i lost my taste and smell" or "my dads in the hospital with covid and he isnt doing good so it's real". I really just dont get how my conservative, gun loving, anti mask/vax, pro trump/america friends can be so naive i guess is the right word for it, or just half awake? I'm learning to just stop myself after asking a few questions like how the tests dont work and such. I see the gears going in their head where I think they get it and then they resort to "nope covid is real..." Just frustrating that the people that have stood on the sidelines demanding no masks, no mandates, are now jumping to test. My brain cant process it.

Yep. It's real. And it came from CHINA. lol. The chicom virus.
Early on, many members of my family had it. I didn't get it till this October/Nov. They had it early but had the antibody treatement. One was diabetic and in the hospital for over a month. He pulled through. It was severe for people with morbidities or the elderly. Higher death rate for them than the flu. For the healthy, it was less than the flu. For the young, it wasn't even a thing.
I use past tense because the new variant omicron is so mild it is like a cold not even the flu. No vaccine will stop it. No natural immunity either from what I read. Only immunity will be if you get it. A coworker just came back after getting it. Had a sore throat for 2 days. That's it.
