Very sad, but was he ill with covid like symptoms?
In fact, in Canada, the news is all about a 90 year old and another 80 year old fully vaccinated who died... from covid, yet the very same articles and videos say that they had no covid symptoms at all.
While even their medical experts just announced that fully vaccinated people can hug! and spend time indoors unmasked. Where did your colleague's father live and how did he get it?

Beware, people. this is the fearmongering pp of the thread that was taken down. None that she posts is true, she wants to mask everyone now (and forever) and lock us all up if "needed" soon. Infection is not quite possible for most of us here, there are mostly super mild cases in those vaccinated.
Plus Moderna just published their results against the Delta variant and it was very effective.

Very curious what thread or post you are referring to was taken down? I am not the PP you quote, but I am equally shrill, and it wouldn't surprise me if you believed us to be one and the same. I don't see anything I posted that was taken down.

It was about Isreal masking where you or the other pp were insulting everyone and ordering people to help the "poor" by masking and possibly locking down when needed.
If you recognize that you are "equally shrill" is it maybe not the time for you to start wondering what is causing your issues and if you have kids just how much harm are you causing to your children?

The CDC is purposely trying to limit the data before we even get it. Why?


Because the tests can pick up dead virus in vaccinated individuals, that has absolutely no effect on them, nor is enough to be transmissible.


I'm sick. Our clinic refused to test me because I was vaccinated. So, we will not have accurate numbers. I have many of the symptoms.


The same happened to my husband. At Cvs the nurse actually asked him why he was there getting tested if he had already been vaccinated. 😤


Who is paying for all these tests you guys insist on after being vaccinated? You think they're free because you aren't paying out of pocket? Guess what? We're all paying for them. So just stop.




+1000. Have you seen the test sites that are popping up in places like Georgetown and Bethesda? They look like freaking spas. Who the hell do you think is paying for your "free" tests?


Lmaooooooo you have no idea. I’m a nanny in LA and my bosses are so wasteful and entitled, for the past year we’ve been doing multiple tests before play dates or before the mom got Botox or whatever. She thinks they’re all freeeeeeeeeee

Okay …. But cases still very low

For the first time in weeks, I noticed an increase in people wearing masks at the grocery store this morning. Still plenty of unmasked but I wonder if people are just being more cautious due to Delta.

They do. And they won't stop until we are a totalitarian state.

They can all just move to Ontario. Where we have people doing yard work in their own yard....masked! And where we are afraid of it to death... people worse masks outside yesterday at almost 100F!

What experts have said that?

If your reading comprehension is that poor, then probably you should just do what the experts say.


+1
I’ve only heard the opposite.

It is not spreading around! DH and I, and DS had a terrible cold, at the same time many, many posted here about it. And it has a cough, but a productive one. It goes away in about 5 days, but the chest congestion stays a bit longer.
DS got it working at a resort in Delaware, DH visited him, then I got it from DH.
How do I know it is not covid? DH and I were tested in the nick of it, I was idiotically tested 3 times! For travel purposes. All three tests over 4 days negative. DH negative.
We are all vaccainted.
Stop fear-mongering!

Yep.

My guess if that they have been in contact with others who have traveled out of the area into the Covid states.


Yes!! It's just spreading quietly right now, and no one wants to get tested.


I’m not sure why people are refusing to believe this is possible. There are still other viruses out in the world. I mean, my whole family has this cold right now. We felt pretty sure it wasn’t covid since my husband and I had identical symptoms to our kids and are both fully vaxxed. But we tested to be safe. Negative. And according to my kids’ pediatrician, there is something going around that they’re getting tons of calls and visits for that is not COVID……which they know because they ARE testing.
