I'm in PHP treatment right now (for addiction).
Okay so when we sign-in each morning we have to get our temperature checked for the COVID screening. Mine was 98.5 and another dude joked that I have COVID cuz thats what people do here- we try to mask our pain with jokes 24/7 (can get tiring).
And then this happened:
Nurse lady: COVID's bullshit.
Me: Yes! Thank you.
Another dude: What?
Nurse lady: COVID's not real. Welcome to your social experiment.
Another dude: (says something else, I forgot what he said).
Nurse lady: I worked as a clinical (something something...idr exactly what it was) when all that shit went down. It's bullshit. They just wanna see how dumb the sheep are.
Me: Oh my God, I love this lady.
Indeed. I've had a couple pureblood friends who got hit hard with it. Both are a bit older (60's) and a good 50lbs overweight. Thankfully, they were both able to find good doctors that treated them with effective medications (Iver, HCQ, noncolloidal antibodies).
My wife and I had it very early before the insanity ramped up (November of 2019) and it sucked but didn't hit us anywhere near as hard as it hit you, fren.
Covid 19 is absolutely real, it's just everything else about it that's bullshit.
Very, very glad you made it through, Rav.
