I think you over read it.   Nothing incendiary about it.  Just the current state of the virus from someone who had a massive case of it.  Nothing political about it.  I was fully vaxxed.  My kid had been vaxxed, had booster shot and already had Covid, and still got Omicron.  Was just commenting on the difference between omicron and the earlier varieties.  No axe to grind and I’m surprised about the reaction. 

Same, I had it and it was no picnic.

I'll say it: Covid should never have been politicized in the first place, yet it somehow became a political deal. SMGDH...vaccines work, Covid is real. GBR

 

At this point you're either vaccinated or you're not by choice and time has shown that has always been the case.

It can be difficult but it's entirely possible to discuss what is in a vacuum a non-political issue in such a manner.

I agree with this 100%. Stating Healthcare professionals only care about a person's health and well being is not a political statement. Stating that facts are in fact facts is not a political statement. Stating that a person is responsible for the choices they make is not a political statement.

All this talk about Covid and sickness… I’m sick and unable to go today.  If anyone needs two, let me know.  They’re in the 300 section, but I haven’t been up to the 300’s since before Christmas.  I just sit in the 100’s.

What a bizarre post. "Covid should never have been politicized. Except when I politicize it."

 

Can you even hear yourself? "vaccines work, Covid is real." I mean, these are tropes that have a peculiarly vitriolic, political origin, and for you to invoke those tropes while simultaneously saying Covid shouldn't have been politicized is a work of mental gymnastics that rivals anything those Russian acrobats did at halftime the other night.

 

Impressive. I guess.

I think we need to stop offering our fellow posters free Nebrasketball tickets. We are just encouraging more sickness amongst us all  I know I've encountered quite a few nauseous stomachs and near-ulcers this season.

My co-worker had the omicron variant. He didn't get his second vaccine or subsequent booster because he didn't feel it was necessary. Those without the vaccine and many without the booster are having much more than mild symptoms. Vaccines and boosters are keeping people out of the hospital and out of the grave. I'm not sure if you have a further point or if I am reading into your intentions incorrectly, but I won't be engaging with anymore discussion on this, on this board as I try to keep this 100% away from politics/current event news. I apologize for even mentioning "I don't know how this has gotten politicized." 

I also apologize if I am reading into your post incorrectly - so you get the last word/clarification here if so. Take care, no more COVID talk for me!

 

Jones, this was a really perplexing response from you. Everything HB said was objectively reasonable, completely apolitical, and true. He shared an experience of having a bad case of Covid but, optimistically, that the Omicron variant is milder (this is MANIFESTLY true), easily transmissible (also manifestly true), and isn't prevented by prior vaccination, which I can personally attest to having had both the injections and Omicron. And that, therefore, it might help raise our collective immunity. How you turned that into something political is lost on me and frankly disappointing.

I'm also out again for this one

To all you folks on this board who've had the 'rona, I share your pain and wish you nothing but a full recovery.

 

For those like @kldm64 who had it bad, man, I'm glad you're on the mend.

 

This disease has sucked in ways too many and too destructive to count.

Part of me wishes I had that excuse, but I guess I'll go and cheer on behalf of everyone who can't make it.

 

Which, by the looks of the last crowd, was all but about 3,500 people.

Palate cleanser. The best thing you'll see on social media all day:

It was going to be super easy to bring the entire family to the game for the first time in few years so that's a bummer.

I'll be cleared by Northwestern next Saturday so we'll see if that works.

To think there will probably still be some scalpers outside PBA trying to unload 2 100 level tickets for like $40 today when you can buy the nose bleeds at the door and proceed to move down to the 4th row without anyone noticing or caring.

guys, walk the line in this thread

tickets have become amazingly controversial! 

 

enjoy the game and let's hope it's the close loss team and not the "destroy us please!" team that appears. 

 

(Matt, I need a medal for avoiding 'double u's' for those moments that I'm stuck on bad keyboard!)

I clearly stated that maybe I had read him wrong. Must have.

"Vaccines work.  Covid is real."      Those are both pure scientific facts.    Not sure how you interpreted that statement as "political".    It is only "political" because of the number of people that are trying to deny the truth of those statements.   Those are the people making that statement "political" - someone who simply recites a fact is not being political. 

 

That Covid exists is a scientific fact.

 

Falsely imputing anti-science beliefs to your political adversaries for the sake of impugning them with malign motives is not science. It's politics.

 

The "number of people that are trying to deny the truth of those statements" is so infinitesimally small as to be statistically, practically non-existent. The fact you seem to think that number of people is somehow statistically significant is a reflection of your ideological blinders. Again, politics.

 

If you cannot acknowledge that there's a political insinuation in the statement "Covid is real" then I cannot accept that you are capable of a good-faith discussion about this.

I'm sure you would agree that It is the best and worst diet program I've ever been on .

I tested positive by the way-- so I'm out for Saturday if anyone needs some 300 tickets, let me know.
