This literally won't work the intended audience.

My godfather yelled that it was similar to the flu which kills around 35k people year. Its killed 500k people. Shut the fuck up asshole.

I took care of a COVID-denier who caught COVID and had to be hospitalized. I asked her this question; she said, "the hoax runs deep."

Just finished my nursing practicum in the ER the amount of people that tested positive was daunting especially when we didn't have properPPE

Don't get the vaccine, it's all a hoax but if you do get the vaccine thank me for it. - t*****

I think that people that says "it's just a flu" never had a flu or confuses it with a commun cold.

My sister-in-law is an OR nurse who was lucky she only caught covid 2 weeks after getting her first vaccine dose to greatly reduce symptoms.
justyourfriendlyneighborhoodimgurian
Teacher friend got it a week before her first shot. She got out of it ok, but the school has been a total shit show.
Rainbowdaesh
That sucks. I'm inline to get mine but my GF who works as a research scientist at a hospital has had hers since March.

Nice! I also got mine along with wife and parents.

And if you refuse to wear your bipap, just stay home. I've got other patients who need a bed and will be compliant with their treatments.

I remember when everyone told me it was just the flu and I kept telling them it's not but no one listens till the news says it
Arcticlee
Right? Flu average annual deaths 28-62k. Deaths due to Covid in 2020 - 383,304. And that's WITH everything shut down. Not the flu.
afatrollofmyown
I'm still shook by how we just considered the flu toll "acceptable" when one year of masking cut the flu by 90%
SanjiO
Maybe the people that were gonna die from the flu probably past by covid. Will be interesting to see if flu deaths grow or covid replaces it

I know it's not a hoax but Jesus fucking Christ I've been locked up alone for over a year! I've done the things. I just want it to finish.

It's easy for ppl with families that work from home in a nice house to be all cool about it.

Mate, no one is cool with it. We all want it to be done with. But it's not done yet, and the more self centred idiots out there ignorning

Also every second in that get up is painful, sweaty hell and you still have to be at your peak. I feel for those healthcare workers so much.
latinomartino
I had to do two gowns, two face masks, double gloves, and a face mask to test LFAs. Less than what is shown here and I had AC. Hated it.
TheNameYouLoveToTouchButYouMustntTouch
Man we were so lucky at our hospital, on the wards we only had to do a mask and face shield for a few months but it was still absolute shit.
CutChemist
Ugh, had to do this with a full face respirator disinfecting Covid death houses and Covid positive businesses. Not fun, but necessary.
LazyTessa
If the alarm sais 155 (code for covid where I'm from) and it's hot outside, we always play "rock, paper, scissors" on who has to put on 1/2
LazyTessa
2/2 the protective gear and stay in the back of the car with the patient.(Before someone complains, little jokes like that make it bearable)

Haha it’s what gets us through! Plus, Rock Paper Scissors is always a fair method.
lemmonjello
I dont even have to gown that far when I'm in a clean room and I hate how hot I am at 20°C I couldn't imagine what it's like in India

Healthcare workers are bigger heroes than superheroes. Fact

Too many people still assume the community here is 'wholesome.' Really? A picture site overrun with perpetually horny creeps is wholesome?

oh, the horny stuff was always here, much worse than now. the "that's so wholesome" creepy fucks are a newer addition.

I've never understood why anyone would lie about their health to a health care provider unless they were trying to score unnecessary drugs.
maststick
Everyone lies. How careful they are, how much they drink, how much exercise, what they weigh, if they smoke...

Dr. House is that you?

Always to a doctor. Some people are in denial, some people just remember optimistically, some people are ashamed, some just straight up lie

and some people tell the truth to their doctors

As soon as one variant causes erectile disfunction, nearly every anti-vaxxer will suddenly line up for a vaccine.
Rosie2003
COVID does that & it wasn’t enough to convince them it’s real
derzilly
The base covid virus already has ED & lowered fertility as possible long-covid symptoms.
cjandstuff
Okay. I've never heard this... But now that I know, how can we FOX News to run with this?
derzilly
They won't because the official studies aren't done yet, so they'll just call it scare tactics cos "covid is just a flu, only 3% die" shit

Thank you, all the doom and gloom is not warranted.

How does that caveat feel about the huge petri dish of antivaxers?
sinkingotter
I mean... Technically speaking it IS a flu, am I wrong? Not any flu of course, this is particularly infective and deadline, 1/2
sinkingotter
I meant deadly by the way. But yeah, technically speaking the virus is a type of flu, right?
Beetwhisperer
It’s a different family of viruses so no, not a flu
QueenVictorian
No, a coronavirus is not a flu virus. Covid (the disease) is not a type of influenza.
sinkingotter
Oh! Alright thanks for telling me!
Larktonguesinadicecup
229E, NL63, OC43, HKU1, SARS, MERS, SARS-COV-2 are the major known human coronaviruses. Covid-19 is the disease caused by SC2.
Larktonguesinadicecup
The first four are generally not terribly harmful anymore, and are considered part of the "common cold pool". Most colds are rhinovirus but

I love strombo. and that comment was the sad truth. i’ve learned i can’t convince ppl to care about others.
tiduszecht
There's also 3 types of people we can venn-diagram with those 2 types: Those who wear their mask to protect themselves and others 1/2
tiduszecht
those who wear it off their face (down on their chin or something) so that they can PRETEND to be the first type while only 2/3
tiduszecht
ever caring about themselves, and those who don't give a shit about showing others how they only care about themselves

You ever watch any of the House of Strombo shows? The John Prine one is an absolute treasure

Of all the 90's Much VJs, Strombo's career trajectory has been my favorite. Far better than Rick the Temp's.

justyourfriendlyneighborhoodimgurian
Some of those, were friends and neighbors. I don't like that they acted like this. Will I see them or still be friends? I don't know.
Idontknowwhatimdoingdude
I've decided to be cordial to all the friends, family,, and neighbors who went crazy but I will never forget their selfishness.
OhNoDontTouch
cordiality is easy enough to maintain, but if/when it ever really counts.. the selfish pricks are last in line for my generosity.
OhNoDontTouch
huh, I do know. If you can't be arsed to care about others, then I don't care about you.
justyourfriendlyneighborhoodimgurian
There is this grey area. Totally would give you the shirt off their back and help you if you ask them, but I don't know why not this.
justyourfriendlyneighborhoodimgurian
not an excuse, btw, just some info.
OhNoDontTouch
interesting. I've never met this kind of person. Maybe they're just not aware of how selfish it is to not consider the protection of others?
