I think your projecting your offense towards those that don’t care enough bro since your the one that wants a dumb law to enforce it

It offends you that I brush all the snow off my car? You are pro-snowy cars on the road? Maine would be a better place if everybody drove around with snow on their cars? Maybe we should pass a law that it's illegal to remove the snow from your car by artificial means? lol

I downloaded GTA San Andreas on my phone and played until my eyes fell out.

It was a free paid 2 week vacation for me for a super deadly virus with a 99.998% survival rate.

Isn't this an American thing? I've lived in TX, CO, and DC and never heard anyone talk in miles. Maybe just a coincidence in the states I've lived in.

I am from Texas and Colorado, and I'm still shocked that things rust. And how quickly they rust.
Genuine question- is there anything we should be doing about it? Our snowblower is only a year old and I noticed some rust on it. Is that a potential problem? Should we be storing it differently, or get something to remove the rust?

It finally got me 2 months ago. I gargled with warm salt water and lots of water. The illness was 6 days or so but I had fatigue for about a month. That was worse than illness

The only thing I see wrong in this picture is that this person pulled out their phone and was using it while operating a motor vehicle

Had it last year. 103° temp, had to go to ER to get fluids, outside of that, I didn't leave my bed for 6 days. I came down with it on a Saturday and didn't have the strength to even go downstairs until Friday. Lost my sense of smell, but it did come back, although it has changed. While I had acute Covid, I noticed that I did not experience the tinnitus I usually have. That came back too. Am very easily fatigued still.

They are sold all over. Walmart, Home Depot, Staples, or even Amazon. The pic was to get you to think about options other than playing the "unfair to women" card.

Vitamins D. Mine was very soon after a booster, and only really uncomfortable for two days. Just a very assertive cold, with painful sore throat and fever.

My whole family had Covid, including my 101 year old grandmother. All had nothing worse than extreme tiredness for a couple days and a little congestion. My 2 year old son and infant (at the time) daughter had zero symptoms while testing positive.
I have had a few colds and the flu this past year that were much, much worse. Crazy how much it can vary for people.

YMMV. I’ve had Covid multiple times, including Covid OG (the worst) in March 2020 and most recently 2 weeks ago (lots of cranial and sinus pressure).
I also had it last summer on vacation and it barely impacted me, like only 24-36 hours, a mild fever and a slight cough. I made ribs and drank some whiskey as a cure. My wife caught it from me and was down for 4-5 days. I didn’t even know I had it until she took a test and it came back positive, so I took one too which also came back positive. A day or two after my bout I went for a 4 hour, mid afternoon 50 mile round trip bike ride from Jackson Hole WY to Jenny Lake in GTNP (elevation ~6,200 to ~6,800) on a 90+ degree day. The strenuous activity, lack of proper nutrition before and during my ride, and subsequent sunburn honestly left me worse than the Covid I had just days prior.

Mine hit me hard! Couple of days with a terrible headache, then the body aches hit, and the congestion, and completely lost my appetite. I was basically in bed for 5 days and home from work for 10! I was in so much pain, I couldn’t sleep, just aches all over! After it passed, I had major brain fog for about a week. I could barely sit through a conference call at work, I really needed everyone to speak slowly to me lol. It was brutal.

Had a rough flu this year, that was fever for 4-5 days, 5% energy, aches & pains, constantly cold then hot in bed/night sweats, heavy brain fog, among other symptoms. Maybe some of that lasted longer than necessary because I was still single-dad in there, but the 5 % energy really surprised me, an active and health focused individual otherwise and made me test for Covid twice, always negative. So far as I know otherwise, no Covid yet.
