Double yikes! Hope you’re okay now.

I do wish antibody tests were more prevalent, but obviously a lower priority when we’re not even doing normal tests at anything like the necessary volume.

Thank you, yes. I got over the mugging in a few days, no fear of walking alone now, although I don’t carry a purse any more. And I’m feeling pretty healthy at the moment :slight_smile: Thanks.

More fun times.

Not everybody can be a Fauci and be willing to tolerate the harassment dealt out by the MAGAt crowd. I wish more were, but I wish more they didn’t have to be. None of us signed up for this kind of job to be heroes. We just wanted to make a difference. I understand some just saying “fuck it” and putting family and safety first.

This could go in so many different threads…

I am glad you are OK.

Some doctors said on TV that it is very rare to find real asymptomatic cases of covid-19. Most people had one or the other “mild” symptoms such as headaches, coughing, etc.

Perhaps that was your case.

Fortunately everything went well and did not evolve into something more serious.

Huh, that’s making me wonder, too.
I’ve also been really careful, and I generally have a really good olfactory sense, but lately it’s been so sensitive, I’ve been almost getting sick after smelling certain things, or needing to leave the room when relatively benign cleaning products are used… Like, the other day I got out this pate we had in the fridge, general deliciousness, but when I smelled my hand after I thought I was going to throw up. Or smelling the milk to check if it’s okay, and just a tiny bit off has me running outside afraid I’m going to spill my cookies.

That sucks about getting mugged, on top of all the other crap this year has brought! I’m glad you’re okay and pretty impressed that you fought back (even though it maybe wasn’t the wisest thing? I like to think I would do same. Rock on.)

Glad you’re still here!

Maybe we could figure out a way to relocate them to places where they would be respected and welcomed.

Please tell me that someone tweeted back that, “Deaths are increasing, you fucking ghoul!”

Yep. I took a look and he’s being followed by typical anti-masker/low information people. :roll_eyes:

Can someone please take these Masters of the Universe down a peg or twenty?

Honestly, I think it’s brilliant and I want to invest. Tell me this won’t be selling like hotcakes in CA next summer. Or Beijing anytime.

The denialists will say that 1 in 80 people died every year already and another 0.2% doesn’t matter

You may want to put your money on the filters themselves, since those are throw-away (disposable). Continuing sales in folks having to replace them continuously.
