COVID-19 Coronavirus News and Updates

That’s because these symptoms don’t creep up on you within a week or two when you think you feel fine.

People are still dying from this virus though. It isn’t one that should just be treated like the flu.

I didn't say it should be treated like the flu. What I said is it ACTS just like any other virus does, including the flu. It will mutate, just like ANY other virus does. Why are people freaking out and acting like it's the end of the world because the virus mutated? That's what viruses do. The virus has been around for over a year now and it's mutated very slowly. Had it mutated into something more dangerous or more rapidly where the current vaccine would not be useful, then we should be more concerned. But I haven't seen a single report of this. The sky isn't falling Chicken Little.

By no means am I saying it’s the end of the world, and if anything those treating it like it is I blame it entirely on social media. But as I said previously, it’s still a virus that creeps up on you and you don’t know you have it till it’s too late. People are still dying from it more rapidly than a virus like the swine flu. Even with a mask on my face I barely feel safe going outside.

This might be before your time for some of you. But AIDS mutated over time as well. For the better part of a decade, many tested positive (Magic Johnson) and died (Freddie Mercury). It was as deadly as COVID, but that didn’t stop people from sleeping around.

Well, again, scientists told us that any vaccine that could be developed for COVID would essentially be a glorified flu shot . . . and, honestly, who doesn't get sick from the flu after a flu shot?

But, aside from that, apparently people are already getting those $600 stimulus checks (I haven't gotten one yet), so yes, thank you Moscow Mitch, for literally giving a penny to the poor while your expenses are covered with your massive wealth that you continue to sit upon.

Thank Pelosi too while you’re at it.

First, the checks are to arrive sometime in the next week so the fact you haven't gotten one yet is no reason to panic. Give it time.

Second, you should also thank the billionaire Nancy Pelosi and all the other Democrats along with the Republicans. That was the initial deal negotiated between BOTH parties. It was a bipartisan deal that doesn't get passed in either the House or the Senate without votes from both sides. And I don't recall the exact vote totals but it passed with overwhelming support in both chambers with support from BOTH parties. It wasn't until President Trump suggested $2000 when the Dems quickly decided they could score political points by going along with it. And don't forget, this could have been passed months ago but Dear Nancy held it up because she didn't want to give President Trump a victory before the election. She has even come out and said so. I'm sure you aren't able to set aside your blind hate of all things Republican and wake up and see the truth though. And what's even sadder is that not only are you unable to, you have no desire to seek the truth.

It's sad to hear this. But the vaccine is only 90-95% effective, which is remarkable for a vaccine. But it does highlight the need to still take the precautions.

I mean people need to remember you can’t just rely on one thing like that.

Literally some people think you can take high blood pressure pills and then eat whatever you want like a fat ***.
