Why is everyone sick RN? Get your shots! If you got your shots, and still caught some shit, I'm sorry to hear that and wish you are not sick for long. It's only November and it seems like there's a lot of shit going around. #MaskUp
@Ellico2020bis Duh. We were all locked away for how long? Our immune systems were not being constantly taxed.
So guess what? A tiny thing is a BIG thing to our systems. Flu shots are based on a strain best-guess. It's like predicting weather - not 100% accurate. A shot isn't a cure-all. Just a way to help.
@Rheannon People are being sick for multiple weeks, getting secondary infections, it seems (anecdotal-- don't take me for an expert or person with a dataset).
@Ellico2020bis My own kids are included. They did too - exactly as you described, but this was predicted as a risk to the near global-scale stay-at-home mandate.
@Rheannon @Ellico2020bis There was no near-global SAH mandate.
@artisanrox @Ellico2020bis So then what would you call what the majority of people experienced across the globe - you know - when we went out, only with masks on, and only rarely? Sequestered ourselves whenever we got sick - even further within our homes? Pretty sure people in Italy, France, China, America, and so on tried to slow the spread of COVID.
Seems like a near-globally shared experience, to me. One might call it a near-global mandate
@Rheannon @Ellico2020bis It literally wasn't global.
Like there were entire states that didn't even stop for a full week during the whole thing.
Our "lockdown" was only like 44% of our entire workforce grid.
People still went to work in "essential services" lije grocery stores where they deal with the public *every day*.
@artisanrox @Rheannon Man, I feel like not communicating effectively. I can't tell whether your're an idiot or a supporter of "essential workers," who got screwed the whole time.
