Title mostly sums it up but seriously. This community I thought was pretty based and aware of the situation and lie that has taken over the world. But daily I see posts that you or someone you know got the flu, but are calling it Covid. You're spreading the lie more when you use that term, or even the rona, it is the flu unless you can prove otherwise, like with an antibody test. But these at home tests and crap they're using at the testing sites and Dr offices dont work, we know this!!! It is all for the $$$! So why run out and test, especially if you're asymptomatic? I never once tested for the flu when I got it years ago, I just knew I felt like death, had high fever, couldn't breathe, no taste, smell, and this was over 10 years ago. I didnt need a test to tell me to stay in bed, hydrate, take vitamins, and rest. Also editing to clear up that yes, covid exists, sars-cov2 is real but it is the flu! The flu has different strains every year this is a new strain from what we can tell.
Side note- especially if you have kids still in govt camps (also known as school) if you get tested and are positive your school will be notified. In SC, for example, you test positive your kids are out quarantined for 24 days, dhec is tracking every test and will notify the school nurse so there is no hiding it. Was the test worth it? You should've just stayed in your bed and treated accordingly how you would any other time you got sick. Obviously if breathing or something gets worse is when you go to a dr but common sense people! Sorry I'm ranting but it is everywhere. It's cold and flu season and people forget that cold and flu produce similar symptoms.... bc it is a strain of the flu!. If you want to go back to normal, stop using the hype words and bring the flu back.
My least favorite thing here is having to worry about being called a shill or something else for having a different opinion. I've been a handshake forever because of this lol. I love the people here and hope wish that we could be more tolerant of different views. The free speech aspect is what drove me, and others I'm sure, here to begin with.
