    I’ve stopped wearing a mask, begun touching my face, and stopped washing my hands all thanks to deathboy, and the aliases he uses to support himself, busty st Claire and Doris mcsquirter.

    At first, I was overwhelmed by all the news sources and scientific research. It’s a lot to take in. But once I decided to blindly follow a wildly uninformed stranger’s advice on the Internet, my life is much better now.

    My friend couldn’t get into the hospital the other day, they said it was too full, but thanks to deathboy, I knew it was just the liberal media lying to us, and the dead bodies being loaded up were faked.

    People judge me in public for coughing without covering my mouth now, but that’s a small price to pay for my freedumb.

    • question is who to believe imbecile? so far have the experts when right or wrong. who has a better track record. can you trust anyone when its so politicized?deathboy
    • anyways you should trust whatever authority figure you want since you show poor judgement when lumping ppl together who are obviously notdeathboy

    • Imagine thinking the pandemic was politicized by anyone other than the party in power and in denial about its severity from the start.i_monk
    • Why would any dumb
      Person think a single party politizies anything. Historically it's a power grab for any ruling party in crisis

    • Look at evidence. Based on current cdc numbers with 100% saturation probably looking at an hot year of an extra 500k deaths with 45% being in forgotten homesdeathboy

    My Mom's battling COVID... she's vaccinated which is frustrating cuz it's got ahold of her pretty good (however probably the reason she's not as bad as she could be).

    She's heading to the ER for a monoclonal antibody IV... her breathing is rough and she's battling a number of other shitty expected symptoms... sucks I can't be with her right now.

    She's 70 and sufferers from heart disease and asthma... you'd think her 58 yr old husband out of love would have gotten vaccinated w/her... except he refused and continued to go to his work site, sharing vehicles / tight spaces w/fellow dickheads unwilling to get vaccinated. He brought it home to Mom... not sure how i feel about it all (yes... one might consider him a standard anti-vaxxer redneck). :/

    Something that I am proud of to the point that I want to brag about it on QBN.

    More than 7K telehealth video session was performed yesterday on the platform that my team has built over the years. The number of sessions started increasing in the last 2 weeks dramatically. I spend all my waking hours trying to extinguish the fire from the server load and helping my team scale the infrastructure. We expect the usage to grow way more during the pandemic.

    We literally save lives!!

    Our friend's brother passed away on Sunday from a bunch of complications from having covid. During the past 4 months he's been in a coma twice (induced and natural) as well as had a leg amputated and both of his lungs decimated - those same friends have lost both of their fathers over the last 3 years and it's been a really brutal few years for this family. I know it keeps getting said, but this guy also had no underlying health issues, healthy all around and it just took him out. He was in that 40yo zone that seems so prone to complicated bouts of this thing. It's crazy to see people in the states politicizing this, or comparing it to "normal death rates" - jesus... these deaths are on top of normal deaths for the most part.

    It brings to mind that mindless patriotic statement "Freedom Ain't Free" you see on bumperstickers and fake military badges and how infuriating it must be to see how little work or discomfort some people are willing to do to keep their neighbours safer (however marginally).

    I feel for all my friends and family in the states, but man you guys have a LOT of stupid to overcome. I hope our borders stay closed to these idiots for as long as possible.

    My father in-law had a fall about 3 weeks ago and had to go into hospital, his wife was only able to visit for an hour each day due to restrictions.
    He was in the early stages of dementia, so I think being alone confused him a lot, he stopped eating, and yesterday he refused his medicine. He has so many other things wrong with him, it's lucky he's been getting morphine as I think the meds withdrawal and physical pain he must be suffering would be brutal.
    My wife managed to travel down on the first day of lockdown to support her mum whose been having to deal with it all on her own.
    He'd been moved from the hospital to a nursing home, but as a patient on his ward had covid, he had to go into isolation, so his wife wasn't allowed to visit.
    Today she was finally allowed in, and my wife is visiting him now, he's in the final stages of life.

    I've read on here that other people have went through similar situations, like Fadein and have friends that have had to deal with people spending their final moments alone. It's super sad.

    I think about when my own father died, his brothers and sisters holding his hand, my mum, my sister and my wife all around to spend hours by his bed, right there as he slipped away.

    I'm 100's of miles away from my wife and she's having to dress in full PPE to say goodbye to her dad.

    I got vaxxed on Saturday. A strangely emotional moment. Went to a community center in bed stuy, a neighborhood I've barely left since this started. They made it nice, everyone welcoming people in. It was like a celebration, and a really good atmosphere.

    I had the shot and then sat for the 15 minutes observation listening to some music, becoming more and more overwhelmed by emotions reflecting on the last 12 months.

    It's been a rollercoaster. Stressful to be working, stressful to think about the alternative. Both of us trying to save our jobs and educate the kids at the same time the world is falling apart. My mum had a nervous breakdown mid-April and i could not get back to help her, and i was wondering if that was the last I'd see of the person I knew. Our nanny came back in May which made it easier but it meant 3 hours of driving per day to pick her up, but we could not have carried on without her. Then my wife lost her job, so everything got tighter. Kids went back to school for a few weeks then went in and out of remote school which is confusing for them. They're in the classroom in masks all day and being tested once a week. Then there's the fatigue of being plugged into Zoom 10 hours a day to stay employed. There's such a cost to all this.

    So yeah I did shed a tear. It's been fucking tough. But if this vaccine gets us closer to what life used to look like then stick it in my arm.

    • That’s a rough time. Have kids too so understand a bit. Better times ahead no doubt.mort_
    • I bet you were responsible the whole time too. Here here. Hang in there man.monospaced
    • I hope that you feel better soon Dave.utopian
    • This is how psychological warfare works. I am sorry Dave, you will get through this.Hayoth
    • Best to you Dave. This last year has been tough, and even tougher with kids (I have none, and seriously can’t even imagine trying to make it through this).lvl_13
    • But I wish you and your family the best man. Here’s to hoping this vaccine brings some normalcy back to your life, and everyone else for that matter.lvl_13
    • You managed to keep it all together in the past months, which is a very important thing. Took the first step to get back your life close to where it wassted
    • ,did everything you could to get through this period, so it’s perfectly normal to feel the need to vent. All the best to you, it can only get better from here.sted
    • QBN group hug for you dude. Past year has been really hard on folk especially folk with kids, I feel you.microkorg
    • Stop chewing snot and move on with your lifedrgs

    • Thanks QBN! It's getting better. So much of life in this has become normalized but it helps to recognize what we've been through as a species, its significant.DaveO
    • Good on you for making it through. My mum was vaccinated today and that was an emotional moment for me. I can only imagine what it will be like when it’s me.Daithi
    • Congrats dude! Your experience is not too far off from mine this past year trying to balance work, kids, virtual learning, and life in general.nocomply

    A model I knew died from her vaccination with AstraZeneca. She was around 30 yo and browsing her timeline on FB hurts. She has a thumbs up emoji saying "Hey, I got my first jab #AstraZeneca" and now, she is dead.

    This post is non-political, I always am. But it just hurts and shocks when you see someone died who had a name and wasn't just an anonymous number.

    In the news (and here), the purport is "you are less likely to die from vaccine than from Corona" which statistically is true. But when the statistic has a name and you knew the person and look at her age, it absolutely makes no sense anymore.

    • Fuck me, Simon, sorry for that.Continuity
