This very much explains erratic behavior, or more specifically aggression and actions while ignoring implications, I've seen escalate in the past few years.

Some of it is political for sure, but correlation is not causation etc...

it's like we're living through a slow motion zombie apocalypse

But if everyone has had Covid… and IQ is relative. Then nothing changes? 😋

Not everyone has had Covid. And every thing is always changing. It’s because of research like this, which came out around Feb 2024, and lots of other research on post-viral syndromes, that I will continue to be cautious. And recommend to anyone that is willing to listen that they can significantly reduce, even nearly eliminate the chances of getting an URI by taking four or five simple, inexpensive measures.

  1. Handwashing
  2. Distancing
  3. Masking
  4. Isolation if sick and
  5. Neti washing with salt and a small amount of soap, e.g. liquid Castile soap like Dr. Bronners. Also some additional benefit in viral activity reduction can be had from Iota Carrageenan, and/or xylitol.

I have not had covid 🧠

I dunno if everyone got it, but I'm confident the Western leadership did.

I've never had it, nor has the person I live with. It's funny how everyone always assumes everyone has had it.

I may be immune... I keep wondering about that. Perhaps it's more likely I was asymptomatic, though?

Might explain why China, the one country that actually decided to take covid seriously, is running circles around the west now. :)
