Texas man says he regrets dismissing Covid-19 after 14 family members get sick

[ilalin]

Tony Green, from Texas, thought coronavirus was hoax and just a “rebranded flu” until a small gathering in June resulted in 14 of his family members becoming ill.

“In all fairness there’s so much misinformation out there,” Green told CNN’s Brianna Keilar. “There was a lot of things that were going on that were causing me to believe misleading information,” he said.

“It seems that the White House, the communication was really broken down … There are things that have to be corrected if we discover more and more about the virus. But it seemed like it was being downplayed, ‘don’t panic, don’t worry,’ to the point where you just think, ‘OK, well, you know, if the President is not worried, if the White House isn't worried ... let's go on with life,’” Green added.
Since the gathering in June, while most of Green’s family is recovering well, his father-in-law remains on ventilator and another family member died in July.

Green said the loosening of restrictions in Texas made his family think that the small gathering would be okay.

“It just kind of spread from there. It spread quickly. It spread to multiple cities and 14 of us got infected,” he said.

Weird that this guys whole family gets sick from one small gathering, when 3/4 of the people who have the Rona don't even know they have it.

I got COVID in February.  Didn't do shit.  It's Flu 2.0 for a healthy person.  Meaning - I was sick for a total of 20 days with it, as opposed to the normal flu which I would have beaten in 10 days.

I think it took me 10 days to beat pnemonia in 2006 WITH antibiotics.

And by 20 days, let me break that down:

Day 1: Exposed to girlfriend from intercourse with my girlfriend, French kissing, giving her oral sex - I exposed myself as MUCH AS A HUMAN POSSIBLY COULD [no anal].

Days 2-4: Building up...

Days 5-11: COVID symptoms were bad.

Days 12-20: Sniffles.

But yeah, let's destroy the economy over this. 

I'm NOT saying that a once-in-a-century virus which was quite possibly produced in a bio-weapons lab in China is anything to scoff at!

But...for me, it was not even something to COUGH at.  I sneezed a bit, and my muscles ached like hell.

Can someone PLEASE tell me I'm dreaming right now?  Like seriously, HOW is it that we are willing to drop 30% in our economy over something maybe twice as bad as a flu?

Exactly.  Sounds like a bunch of shit.

One thing I used to ask myself is "Are leftists actually willing to destroy the entire economy to pursue their agenda?"

And...sort of, yeah.

How in the FUCK can millions of people be afraid of a flu after we've already lost 30% of the American GDP?

Not everyone that gets the Trump Virus has major symptoms.

Imagine if the (((media))) ran a story every time a school class or sports team all caught the flu

[_bruce_]

The people I know who got covid'd had been sick before - mostly severe liver problems.

Funny how you haven’t heard about a huge outbreak from the Trump rally in Oklahoma. Thousands of people, none of them were wearing masks and no social distancing. Sure you can say Herman Cain but he had stage four cancer since 2004 and was given at most three years to live.

We also haven’t heard of a massive outbreak as a result of all the black lives matters protests. The only thing that has broken out has been Dindu wilding.

If you were to come to New York City and see all of the old broken down pieces of shit that somehow  managed to survive this so-called plague you’d realize how overblown it is.

This whole thing is a hoax.  Total chicken little hype and fear mongering by MSM and government.  Like someone said above, it's the flu 2.0. 

One question I have is... Did they fool Trump too, or is he in on the scam?

He’s in on it. The honest way to do this would’ve been a world declaration of bankruptcy and a debt jubilee but the PTB went with using a virus as a pretext.

Same thing happening here, every now and then they make a post about somebody having a bad case of covid and warn others that they shouldn’t take it lightly. Just like when Allysa Milano made the news by telling people she was losing hair due to covid. B!tch, you’re losing your hair because it wants to escape from that stupid head of yours.

All media propaganda. Kill’em all

Normal flu takes the odd 17 year old as well

Normal flu takes the odd 17 year old as well

These are the official stats from NYC. The usual comeback to this data is “I know a guy...”

With respect, these posts are posted - unedited - BEFORE the fear mongering started in Canada.  So either I'm a genius who managed to engineer my Facebook posts to look like I was purposely trying to get sick with COVID, knowing how big it would blow up...

...or...

...I just, coincidentally, figured not being sick for SIX YEARS was a bit much, and I wanted to test my immune system, as per how I described it in my posts.

Had I KNOWN that COVID was going to blow up in Canada in the media, I would have taken steps to avoid it.  Not so much because of media hype alone, but COVID is, after all, a once-in-a century pandemic.

But I offer you this as proof that I purposely exposed myself to the sickest person I could find, who happened to be my girlfriend, and who I fucked pretty much daily, as much as possible, to get sick with what she had [check the dates, and note that the posts are not edited]:

^ If you search my Facebook from slightly prior to that, you will find unedited posts about how it had been nearly six years since I last got sick, and how I was TRYING to get sick my exposing myself to the sickest people I could find.  So that's the evidence I offer that whatever I was sick with, it most likely was COVID.  All the symptoms matched up, and in fairness - it WAS worse than a normal flu.  I didn't take any medicine to beat it though.  I just let my immune system do its magic.  Now people seem to be forgetting that we have immune systems for these things.

PS - oh...by the way, in Canada, where we have "free" healthcare, I'm not able to get a COVID antibodies blood test to prove I already had COVID.  Nor am I allowed to legally pay out of pocket to get a test to prove I got AND beat COVID.  We wouldn't want too many people to know that COVID isn't that deadly for people under the age of 65 who have no co-morbidities or anything.
