Free Covid tests now available for U.S. residents

I received my two free Covid test kits last night in the U.S. mail. Now all I have to do is to wait for some Covid symptoms before I can use them, according to the instructions. Since I am triple-vaccinated I wonder if I will be able to notice any Covid discomfort?

Just in case you have not been keeping up with latest Covid 19 variant news (and you care about such things), attached is an article to bring you up to date. The infection rates in the U.S. have really taken off and amazingly quickly, too.

I think most of the world is "COVID-weary" and could give a hoot about the new variant. At least that's what I gleaned when I consented to go to Whole Foods this morning to pick up a few items with my wife. We both wear masks in crowded stores, but from what I could see, almost nobody wears a mask any more. |

In my area, I would say that at least half of the people that I see in grocery stores are masked. Mostly older people, but I still see many younger people wearing masks. I am going to meet some friends and my daughter and son-in-law at Alice's restaurant tomorrow morning. At least one of my friends wants to eat outside on the porch under the awning because he is concerned about getting this new variant. Since you can't eat with a mask on, we will be doing that. It really doesn't hurt to take a few simple precautions. I don't know about you but I find a hospital visit under any circumstances to be something that I would like to avoid.

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #18 Sadly, that’s the product of lying to the public. They said masks weren’t necessary, then they were, then they admit anything less than an N95 mask does little to nothing. They compel vaccinations that are “safe and effective” (which any scientist working in virology and immunology would know couldn’t be determined with a few months of research data), and those vaccines prove to be both ineffective and nowhere as safe as advertised. New variants come out which the vaccine doesn’t address and they tell people to get another dose…of a vaccine that DOES NOT work on the new variant. They sure as heck could not retool and test the composition of an updated vaccine as fast as they were making these claims. Now the hard data and facts emerge that the powers-that-be knew all of this in advance, lied about it, and used government propaganda and censorship to control the public narrative. Here’s a radical idea…How about you be honest with people so you don’t poopcan your credibility? I’d sooner give serious consideration to claims made by someone who admits to not having all the answers than someone who claims to have complete knowledge that they don’t have and that I should blindly trust them. The sad bit is that the recent outbreak in China is happening in spite of massive vaccination with a traditional killed virus vaccine. So, another mutation post vaccine or did they tool it to the wrong variant of the virus? Fortunately, my insight indicates the newest version, while highly communicable, isn’t all that deadly compared to the original strain. So, so far, the mutations are making weaker versions.
