Her vaccinated caregiver tested positive two and a half weeks ago. The only reason she tested is because my Mom was supposed to go to a church thing. So, my Mom and her caregiver didn't go.
Enter the COVID Christmas hysteria.
One of my siblings then decided that my mother, who had a runny nose, had to get tested. She tested positive. Then said sibling decided not only that my mom couldn't go to the extended family Christmas even "five days after she was asymptomatic wearing a mask" which is apparently the new bullshit rule. AND, that no one should have direct contact with her. AND, that anyone that did have direct contact with shouldn't go to extended family Christmas either, even if they tested negative. So I was banished, and adult children that flew into to town for Christmas were banished. Not because they were with my Mom. Because they were with me, who was with my mom, who was barely sick, and clearly not sick enough to get me sick.
It was awful and I don't think the rift will be healed anytime soon. I became persona non grata because I decided to take my chances so as not to isolate a little old lady at Christmas. The irony? I (unvaccinated) took some MMS and didn't get sick notwithstanding that I have been with my mom every day since. Prolly because unvaccinated people exposed to a real virus then thave broad based immunity - something everyone in the world used to know.
So, my unvaccinated mom was less sick than the vaccinated and boosted caregiver that got her sick in the first place, and I wasn't sick at all. Yet we are the problem. The good news is my elderly mom will probably never get it again. The bad news is she was heartbroken at Christmas, and she probably does not have a lot of Christmas's left.
Not going to argue with a fren over what Covid is so I Respect your opinion. Whatever people want to call it there’s smth that makes the Covid strips test positive and then there’s other similar cold/flu stuff that don’t. So that’s how I define it.
Before anyone wants to come up in here and scream “why are you testing for it faggot”. I didn’t. My mom went into the hospital and they tested her. We had the same thing since we had just gone on a vacation together.
Anyways….again not trying to say Covid is any lethal disease but there is smth flu like testing differently. And you can definitely get it twice.
I mean this with total respect so please don't take offense.
The tests are completely bogus and meaningless. They can literally turn up the dial and make anyone test positive (for the lab tests) and the home test kits are just random (as far as we can tell). It's essentially an elaborate ruse to keep people believing that there is a real scientific basis for anything related to covid. If you think about it, no matter what, you are trusting an unknown authority or black box device to tell you whether you are "infected" or not. There is no objective measure or "gold standard" test.
The thing they are detecting is DNA fragments, but the fragments are from your own body's cells. It's basically excess cellular waste that your body is trying to get rid of and when you are sick there's just a lot more of it and maybe your body is processing something toxic you came in contact with. These fragments are encased in little protein bubbles so they can be easily carried, and these are what they call viruses but they are harmless. And having a lot of it in your mucous just means your body is doing its job. They don't cause illness and they are not contagious.
How many times have you heard of someone "testing positive" but they feel fine? Or a bunch of people get sick after going to the same place and everyone starts pointing fingers at each other, but you have to just shrug it off because nobody can prove anything. The whole idea of contagious diseases is based on unproven assumptions.
