remember the episode where penecillin was never invented and everything came in vacuum sealed pouches, and if you so much as coughed the coof-gestapo would haul you away and incinerate your ass, because strep throat was a death sentance?

and then like 2 episodes later Hillary Clinton was the president....

I totally remember that episode and there being like a drug store fiasco or something and the government being like super communist or something, but I can't remember the hillary episode but now I have to watch the whole series again.

Another episode I loved was the one where everyone lived and worked in the giant shopping mall. Or the one where they play Football Jeprody haha omg

There's a great episode of The Orville where they go to a space ship that is like earth and everyone is like backwards back in time and it like, is basically a Sliders episode.

I think you're a bit misinformed about how this impacts young people. I'm 32 and previously would run half marathons, rock climb, and play ice hockey. I've been sick for 8 months and have had several moments where I wasn't sure if I would wake up the next morning. I can't walk to the end of the block and back without feeling like my heart is going to explode. While most young people don't die, the vast majority are not "recovered" and need serious medical support.

Again, I think it is more widespread than you realize. I don't think anyone knows for sure what the numbers are, but there is a study from Italy following up on covid patients at 2 months post onset and only 13% of them were recovered. I've seen numbers anywhere between 10 and 90% are dealing with lingering symptoms.

What I do know, is I belong to a support group of Covid "Long Haulers" that has over 15,000 members. Most of them are age 30-50. And this is just 1 of many support groups. These people are not getting better. The latest research suggests it is likely the virus persists in certain areas of the body; the immune system isn't able to clear it completely.

But yeah, I agree it's a difficult situation. I would be more concerned about the economy though if we didn't waste trillions on trying to police the world. When that money could be spent on, I don't know, giving a universal income while we restrict businesses during a pandemic to benefit public health.

This is crazy shit, brother. Serious, very important question: have you received the COVID antibody therapy? Not vax, but antibody. This is the best option I would expect for knocking out resilient virus. Please let me know and more importantly, if you haven't had it, please work on getting it. Just go to the hospital and say "it's called, Regeneron". Looking forward to hearing back; your situation is very interesting.

Standing in solidarity where so many Americans won't.
