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.

Totally not true. While your experience may be a more severe case, I have several friends that had tested positive for covid and had little to no symptoms.

Recently I've come to the realization that what the anti-religion crowd is doing is simply replacing who they worship. They worship Science, they believe rationality is the ultimate state of being. They want to process information the same way an FSM would, this is a foolish tactic. They love to point out the foolishness of Biblical stories, as if the Bible is a simple childrens book. Meanwhile they simply forget that "Science" brought us lobotomies, blood letting and prescribing people cocaine. Science makes mistakes and improves on them, but it is to be certain that most things we are doing today will probably be seen as barbaric in time.

I was one of these people for a long time, I think I have this inherent trait where I need to combat what I'm being told regardless of merit. Being raised Catholic it's no wonder I resisted that as a young buck. These days I'm not trying to reconnect with the religion and peel back the onion of Bible stories. I don't care who you are or what world view you have, The Bible has a very tangible and beneficial lessons to be taught. If you want to view them as Fairy Tales, I think that's quite alright, but you should know that just like Fairy Tales these stories are ripe with value. Dig deep kids. I suggest you start with Adam and Eve, that story is amazing. Adam is a whiny bitch and blames Eve for getting tricked by the damn devil, as if that isn't a completely likely outcome.

Anyways, I passed my drug test(wasn't that scared but I did have an edible three weeks prior to the test) now I'm nervous that there would be some strange circumstance where I would have to retest and so I think I'll wait to have some edibles. I've missed them.

PS: Locked down in MN again...ugh

I honestly wish that the ani religious liberals did worship science. At least then there might be some reason and rationale behind what they do.

Knowing some people that were asymptomatic doesn't really show the big picture.

Yeah ive been thinking climate science is a religion for people who have cut religion out of their lives and miss being part of an always right community.

I'm not saying man doesn't have an effect on climate, but I am saying that if you passionately believe in it in any way and also dont go to church, you should take a long look in the mirror and think about how many goal posts have been moved that you once argued were absolutely right.

Politics is quickly becoming a new religion, even evangelicals are creating a hybrid christen version of it.

I think its silly that people who consider themselves very intelligent think that religion is what makes man do bad things and not man.

It's awfully un ashiest to blame god for man's follies. But damned if they dont blame him first.

Anyone who has to get a flu vaccine yearly (docs, nurses, etc) knows that the common strains are different and change.

Why would COVID be any different? One vaccine and you're done? Hell no, that's both not how it works and less profitable.

Big pharma wins again, and who knows what weird side effects might show up in 1% of patients? People with weakened immune systems at the very least will be taking a vaccine yearly with whatever else they've got to take.

The (far) left is more and more resembling a secular religion. Admit to your white privilege (original sin). You can never be absolved of it, but we may forgive you if you at least admit to it. If you deny being racist, it merely confirms that you are racist. You must be actively ANTI-racist (agree with my every word or be cast out of the flock). Are you questioning any of our presuppositions? That's okay, we can forgive you, provided you are willing to be re-educated. Do not trespass against any of our ideological precepts, and you too can ascend the ranks.

Diversity is our strength, except by diversity we mean rigid ideological conformity. We want everyone to say the same things, we just want, like, some black guys and latinos or whatever to say them.

Athiests: Man created religion!
Atheists: Believe in this instead, because men say so.

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....

magical virus defies all standard conventions for virus, conveniently. Shapeshifts and chameleons through the populace as it predates its next victim.

deadliest pandemic the world has ever seen!

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.
