I wasn’t until I got it last June. Started running a fever mild symptoms. At the time I was worried yes. Figured I would get it eventually never stopped going out as much as I wanted. There was a moment of how will I know if/when I am dying? Which was scary in a sense.

By a few days in I was going for walks/jogs around the block. Didn’t want to push it too hard. I didn’t know. And would drink a bottle of wine and eat food delivery of some sort. Figured it mustn’t be that bad

Me and my buddy stocked his entire fridge in the garage and just kept chilling and drinking in those boring arse weekends. We would have some other people show up and stay outside the garage while talking to us. We did not give any fricks. We were trying to figure out shite to do while drinking. Couldn’t fish the pond the entire time or we’d be dead from skin cancer by now. We even were betting on horse races as it was the only sports we could find on TV. Then we started watching old YouTube football games on the projector. Haha

What all these pussies need to ask themselves is why are they so damn scared of something with a 99.97% survival rate in people under 70?

How are you yellow bellied chickenshits gonna react when a real threat presents itself? I could kill half of y'all with a gulp of creek water and a little taste of a mudpie.

I've never been afraid of it. I also tried to show respect to those who are afraid of it. Covid is real. But it is not the threat the media made it out to be.
It was weaponized for political purposes by the left wing media establishment. These are facts. And can not be disputed.

HOWEVER...the moment the BLM protests were allowed to happen because they were a more urgent "public crisis " I then knew, without any doubt whatsoever, that the covid pandemic was way overblown, and realized that nothing from the media, from Fauci, or the CDC was worth a sht anymore.

For What? Who, Where & specifically What should he seek help for?

Seek Help for being right?! For correctly trusting his intuition and having trust, faith in himself to continue living, working, celebrating life despite an utter breakdown law/order/justice/society/freedom!?!
To maintain his sanity, conviction and carry on in spite of the blatantly dishonest & corrupt media utilizing a novel, mysterious "pandemic" crisis to continue a non-stop 4 year campaign of false accusations, psychopathic hatred, impeachment against a sitting president who is working his arse off to understand, address and "save" our country from what many realized correctly at the time was very likely another globalist, chinese attack (biological/chemical weapons have been used since WW1) on the Presidency (remember - by any means necessary), every American & our very Nation!

What the OP did, along with myself, was no fun & games, walk in the park - fake DENIAL act (like the sheep have been psychotically doing now for years).

Seek Help?

It's you and other similarly insane reddit cowards who got it colossally wrong that should beg, pray, wait on, serve, pay & hope to one day just get to watch, hang out with/around, practice, emulate a real MAN like the OP!

It's you who needs to seek help from guys like him!

100% agree. I vaguely remember a long thread about one of the OT posters being stuck in China when this whole thing kicked off in late 2019. I hadn't paid much attention to it at all the first month or so, but once I did quickly realized it was complete nonsense political BS to drive the economy into the shitter and thus Trump out of office.

Those movements haven't gone away, though. And they've never posed any real threat to multinationals. Nothing Trump did or was doing was eroding multinationals' profits.

I was never afraid of it and called it out for being overblown from the beginning. Even if it had a 5% death rate, I would still refuse to live my life in fear. Anyone that allows a virus with a 99.9% survival rate to control their actions is weak and should not be allowed to pass on their genes. It took me a bit to understand why they were fearmongering, but I always knew it was nothing like they were pretending.

From the start, I refused to live in fear, and was confused and dismayed at the hysteria I saw in others. Never once changed a thing about the way I live my life.
I realized this virus was going to do what viruses do; spread very rapidly, and that I would eventually catch it. My attitude was, "Bring it. Let's face it head on, go through what we've got to go through and move on."

I saw people of Faith handling the emotional fallout much better than non-believers. I understand; if you believe this physical existence is all there is, you cling to it accordingly.
Fear can't control you if you know your time on earth is incredibly fleeting, and that death is gain.

ETA, I got Covid; ibuprofen handled my symptoms, which last about four days. Wifey was down for two weeks. Kids were asymptomatic.

I wasn't afraid of it either, went to work, interacted with the public, etc.

Now, that doesn't mean that I thought it was a hoax.

It's a real illness and more people died from it than any other communicable disease in a one year time frame than any other communicable disease in my lifetime.

But did we view it with proper perspective? No.

Did as many people die from it as were reported? We know they didn't. In at least one case the over reporting was by a factor of ten, and that's a fact, not opinion.

The scariest thing to me about the whole thing is how much power the government was willing to exert over the populace, and how much power the media wielded in the process. I figured I'd get the COVID at some point—I did, and it wasn't bad at all for me.

Somehow I intuitively knew that it wouldn't be from the beginning.
