Can we take the template for success trailblazed by Florida and copy/paste to the rest of the states?

Also, I just want to make sure everyone understands the ‘k’ in monkeypox is silent, so let’s make sure and pronounce and spell it accordingly to get ahead of the framing from the outset:

Setting the stage yet again with another "Table Top" exercise.

We may find that these table top exercises are actually being used for decision making in real world situations. I can hear the pols now talking about how to respond, "the exercise clearly showed us that the countries that prioritized keeping their economies open, undertaking little-to-no NPIs, and downplaying the virus and its potential impacts, experienced much worse outcomes in terms of illness and mortality than those that responded early and energetically. We must shut it down, lock it up, mask it up, nothing less - after all, the table top exercise revealed to us exactly what will happen. We must follow the science!"

BTW - Margaret Anna Alice - you do wonderful work - thank you for all of your revealing insights and analysis!

I’ve no doubt these “exercises” are thinly veiled dress rehearsals for the agenda to come as they have a habit of coming to fruition just like clockwork after they’ve done their practice run.

One more thought on the tabletop: The Final Discussion section - this is exactly the same conclusion that underpins the Paris Accord except in this case, it’s for MoneyPox not climate change. The conclusion reached, clearly from science of course, is a drastic need for investment in other countries. DJT was right. It’s all about the money.

I had the virus a year ago. One week of really sick (and the lingering cough for another two weeks 😜). Didn't test because I got it from my husband (who had to test for workers comp).

Last week I got the virus again (from my son--who didn't test, because it was a bad cold, so what? But his vaxxed, crazy fearful co-workers tested for their "colds" and it came back positive). Man, I am so glad I had natural immunity because this time it could have been so much worse than a cold! 😁 My point is that you can still get the virus, regardless of jab and immunity status, but the bottom line is it's still just a cold! Throw lots of vitamin D, C and zinc at it!!

Barbls's avatar

I still ask every time anyone says they have covid, How do you know? The tests find tiny fragments of any coronavirus not necessarily covid, and since covid virus is ubiquitous like all the other coronaviruses, you might test positive if you breathe air. This testing is one of the many scams perpetrated on the public.

SkepticalS's avatar

Yes, myself and my family are not vaxxed and had it at Christmas so we were incredibly dismayed when I tested (purely out of curiosity to see how natural immunity held up) positive again last week. Five months. We weren’t incredibly sick either time but it was not noticeably milder this time. I’m very disappointed.

Julie's avatar

Interestingly, my husband had it very bad last year--but he didn't get it again. The only difference? He has consistently taken his daily vitamins (of D, C, zinc and quercetin). Perhaps his regimen has really upped his immune response? I jumped on my vitamins the first day which lessened the cold/cough part, but for some reason, this virus attacks my head first and the migraines are awful!

I had a moderate case last July - lasted 10 days. I too started the same nutraceutical regime and I have had nary a sniffle since. Unvaxxed, unmasked and I go where ever I like. I recently spent 10 days traveling by plane and bus, interacted with hundreds of unmasked (and masked) people at a trade show in Chicago. I am still fine but several of my colleagues (all vaxxed and boosted) got sick and tested positive. I don't know why they even test as they don't do anything different - except when they know, they get extremely paranoid and anxious thanks to all the fear porn.

Hubs and I are unjabbed, same with son and daughter (adults). Both daughter and son got Covid long ago...him in late 2019, her in late 2020. Then in January this year son got sick again...his girlfriend supposedly tested positive, he didn't test but had the same symptoms as she did. So maybe he had it again after having covid 2 years prior (he says he was much sicker the first time in 2019). My husband and I have been fine the whole 2 years until early March....son got a mild cold, then husband got it slightly worse, then I got it all within about 10 days. It persisted for a couple of weeks, but not all that bad. I haven't been sick in years so I've actually forgotten what a bad cold or flu is like. Never tested so who knows what we had if it could even be determined by those stupid testse. Then again in early May a much milder version of what we had in March, annoying more than anything. I think we all just had a good old fashioned cold, but we don't waste our time with testing or playing any covid games. We've taken C, D3, zinc, NAC, quercetin and some other stuff for a long time. Obviously the protocol didn't prevent illness, but what we all had was what I'd consider fairly minor so probably the vitamins helped. Our D3 levels are in the 60s. No big woof, I'm tired of everything being called the dreaded covid. Who cares? It's a damn virus. Viruses happen.

This testing is what's keeping the narrative for covid going.

There are many reasons people want to be tested: some are required by work, some have kids in daycare setting that requires testing after known exposure, some want to know in case natural immunity is ever recognized, some want confirmation that distinct symptoms they have are the same illnesses they had before covid pandemic was announced, some want to know so that they feel immune to the virus, some are curious how long does natural immunity lasts… i think it’s better not to judge even if you choose to not test, I don’t judge people if they do or don’t test…

Interestingly, my daughter (nurse) is required to test 2x a week.

SkepticalS's avatar

I understand your frustration, I have been irritated by the insanity of it all as well and never bought into the hysteria around it even from the very first day. The response has been abysmal and harmful. However, your dismissiveness is unwarranted.

If you truly want to know the full story of why I tested it is multi-pronged.

First, my mom ended up almost dying from Covid at Christmas, and she was set to visit again and I did not want to expose her again. We experienced everything Jeff mentioned in his post about hospitalization only we were not allowed in. It was an absolute nightmare. Thankfully she pulled through but her drop in o2 was no regular response to any common respiratory virus I’ve ever seen.

Two, I was curious if it was possible to get reinfected again so soon. All actual studies I have read had said natural immunity is robust and five months is early for another round of any virus. This is concerning for it to come back so frequently and for us it was not mild nor were the respiratory symptoms the symptoms of concern for me.

Which leads n to three, this is not merely a respiratory virus. This is a modified virus that can affect all systems. In fact the nervous system appears to be the one most impacted by both the virus and the vaxxes. It is perhaps mild for most people, but certainly not for all.

Again, I appreciate your frustration with everything, but dismissing that this is a genetically altered virus that has been responded to in countless harmful ways which has now led us to find ourselves in totally uncharted territory is not necessarily a helpful (or charitable) response.

So true. It was Dr. Malone who first told us that the PCR tests for COVID were not accurate at all and could not distinguish from any other coronavirus. On top of that, the scientist who invented the PCR clearly stated that it should not be used in clinical practice. I, myself, do not need a test to tell me that I am sick.

KellyJo's avatar

I’m the only unvaxxed person at my job. My vaxxed co-workers are sick every other month it seems, passing the same cold/flu symptoms back & forth. They finally gave their cold to me. I thought I was doing enough on the vitamin front. I wasn’t. My nurse said the viral loads being shed by these vaccines are massive. If this would be of help to anyone, my nurse said to take the following for maintenance daily:

VITAMIN D 5000 IU (or 20 minutes of sunlight), VITAMIN C 3000 (divide doses)

QUERCETIN 500 mg + some Zinc (divide doses)

COLLOIDAL SILVER nasal spray (twice daily).

If anyone is interested, I can pass on the dosages of what she recommended vitamin wise, if you were to ever get sick. My nurse also frowned on sticking the PCR test in your nose, period! She recommended spitting into a Kleenex for the test, if your employer mandates the Covid test. I followed her advice during my illness. I tested 3 times & every test said negative. I was SO GLAD to know that I wasn’t sick, despite all of my cold symptoms!! LOL *Disclaimer, I’m not a doctor, just trying to be helpful*

I just emailed our governor about this. Another thing people don’t realize is how much of Florida’s rural interior is used for agriculture. Many of those farms have been passed down in families for decades. Building up those areas drives up the prices and property taxes to the point the families can no longer afford to keep the land. What’s left of the rural coast is also food producing.

A few anecdotal stories; elderly aunt (94), Covid vaccinated to the max came down with Covid (2nd time), pneumonia and flu all at the same time a few weeks ago. Thankfully she survived.

Cousin’s SIL was fishing with a couple of buddies last week, and noticed one of them slumped over in the back of the boat; a healthy 40 year old, dead from a heart attack. Not the first one in our circle of family and friends under 50 to suffer heart problems. Weird and sad…

My sister has been reading obituaries for 40 years (used to work in family cemetery business); she said she has never seen so many young people who ‘died suddenly/unexpectedly’ in the obits and it’s been going on since last fall. She said it’s 4 to 5 every week.
