To me the bigger problem is not necessarily that some of this stuff is too complex for a layman to actually get a handle on it...

...it's that most are too lazy to even try and just parrot what their "team" says because it's a lot less effort than thinking for themselves.

Agreed, but not here.

We're all (I think) smart enough to do our own research, talk to actual experts, and make decisions on our own.

Let's not forget , all the 'responsible adults in the room'   made it a priority to savage and attempt to discredit people like Jay Battacharya among others.    It was much worse than rooting for one team.  Attempts to silence and ruin people.

The self sabotage done by the Govt is amongst the worst residues of CV-19.

The climate change issue is too complex for me.  And I know early in COVID, I didn't understand much of anything either.

I don't much about history ...

I hesitate to "believe" anything about this.  The latency period is very concerning, I think.  It is possible this is just something that becomes "routine" over time.  It may be seasonal (or not).  We may find in a couple weeks it was not as bad as feared.  Maybe we all contract it and develop immunity.  Maybe this. maybe that.

I can appreciate folks wanting to be careful.  We had fairly recently zika scares and swine flu and whatever else and "survived".  My advice is to buy any toilet paper you can find anywhere.  (JK).

Maybe this, maybe that.

Largest-ever COVID vaccine study links shot to small increase in heart and brain conditions | Fox News
A woman at the food bank where I volunteer had an cousin die at 64 the same day she got vaxxed. Another vol had a family member taken to the ER the same day as the stick so coincidence or some traction to that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I read about a lady who got vaxxed and died in a motorcycle accident on the way home.

Same here.  I don't even know anyone whose symptoms were serious enough to go to the hospital for it.  It's really, really strange how peoples' personal experiences in this matter can differ so greatly.
The main thing I took from it is that maybe I happen to know a lot more people than everybody else.  Statistically speaking of course.  That and since I lost my dad to COVID I became a little more nosey than in the past and started asking around about people who died.  I think it should have been mandatory to put in the obituary if somebody died with COVID or not, so that the average person would know who for certain who died with COVID.  Maybe not mandatory, but it should have been encouraged.  My mom wouldn't let me put it on my dad's obit ( I wrote it) but if it had been up to me I would have simply as a warning that COVID was not all make believe.  

I'd like to talk to some of the health professionals who were in COVID wards tell their side.  There has been some stuff trickle out but not really much.  
I kept a list of all the people who I knew or knew of that died from COVID, got up to about 18 as I recall including my dad and my uncle.  Most were older and in poor health, some were young (49 was the youngest).

Yeah, and I don't know what you do, but having heard you mention having clients coming into your office on a regular basis and from context it sounds like a "professional services" type of job--law, finance, accounting, etc... 

If so, you might see a lot more people on any given day than I do. And for many of those people depending on what you do, the ones needing some of those services may be older and more likely to be in at-risk groups. I.e. if you're in retirement planning, the bulk of people you'll see regularly are those who are near retired or already retired, right?

I go into my office once a week (WFH otherwise), and sit in my office and don't talk to anyone unless they come to my door lol. And most of the people there skew young-ish as it's a tech company; not to say it's not a wide range, but the younger ones outnumber the 55+ crowd by a wide margin. Other than that the only people I talk to regularly are my wife, my kids, and the fellow dog owners I see in the neighborhood and talk to when we're both walking dogs. And I don't do the Facebook thing, so I don't even really know what's going on with all those long-lost people from HS/college that I barely cared about then and have mostly forgotten now. 

I suspect we're outliers on the opposite ends of the "interacting with people" spectrum so you have a wider group to be exposed to.

Woke up today feeling draggy and with a sore throat.  Thought uh oh.  My wife found our COVID tests, and I ran one which came up negative.  That didn't cure my sore throat at all though.

We have an "event" tonight that I will beg out of.  I wasn't all that thrilled about it anyway.

Tis a pity, it's a nice sunny day here, 52°F.

Those tests are not very good based on my experience.

I have no way of knowing as I won't get tested otherwise.  I've never tested positive, I've really not been sick much since 2020.  I've taken to washing my hands each time I return to the condo, that could be helping.  We're still traveling rather extensively of course.

I guess I have the start of a cold.  If I tested positive for COVID, would I act any differently?  Probably some.  My nose is clear and I'm breathing fine, so far.
