    This is nothing new. Despite the "zero covid" policy, and the fact that anyone entering China has to endure 2-5 weeks of quarantine of some sort, we have suffered outbreaks on a monthly basis, especially since Delta. Due to the draconian domestic controls, even traveling to neighboring cities can be a hassle.

    And the latest obsession: Omicron arriving on international mail packages, especially cold storage shipments. I don't know that the science substantiates this. But this past week, lots of people receiving parcels got flagged by the risk tracking system, which means they have to get a series of tests before they could resume their daily activities.

    They do?

    Shit.

    What if I show up with a liver I found somewhere and I promise to limit myself to three doubles a night?

    When life gives you lemons, inject the juice straight into your arms because Joe Rogan said it cures COVID.

    Dude straight up looks like a douchebag, and he also has that inbred, slightly retarded look as well. I'm pretty sure he wipes then shits half the time as an added bonus.

    This one makes me nervous. I'm still waiting to hear back from UPENN if I'll be approved for the heart transplant. If it requires a booster, I might have trouble. With some reports of the vaccines and the boosters affecting the hearts and haw badly the vaccine affected me makes me very unsure of getting the booster. Of course this may be a moot point if I'm not accepted or if accepted and I decided not to go through with the transplant.

    Statistically you're far more likely to be "badly affected" by a covid infection than you are by a booster shot, especially after an organ transplant when you're having your immune system artificially suppressed to lower the chances of your body rejecting the donor heart. :clyde:

    If you play poker, draw to an inside straight and fill it, it’s still a bad play, even if you win. FWIW I understand your concern and have a lot more sympathy for you than some idiot who simply refuses to get vaccinated. Also FWIW I support your right to make whichever decision you choose. Good luck.

    You're not a doctor. Shut up and let him talk to his own doctors.

    Do you have a podcast on spotify, or are you waiting for JFK to come back and make Trump president? Those are the real qualifications Ryan and SHREPL are looking for.

    Just had to make that distinction to another person.

    Covid positive person: I feel fine, I'm going to go ...
    Me: It's not about you. It's about who you could infect. Do you want to make other people sick?
    Covid positive person: (hangs head in shame) ... no ...

    Nah. They're both God-fappers, not QNutters. 14th would have more success if he offered sermons on how the vaccine contains Satan.

    I do not split hairs between lizard people eating baby pizzas and zombie savior made out of cheep wine and shitty crackers. I am pretty sure they overlap.
