I'm the pill to use science in pointing out that all of your problems are a result of you crashing the golf cart. Without such karma, all would be peachy!

Prediction: a year from now, you smell like one hell of a stinking rose. Hang in there!

It's like a builder says about basements: "There are basements that leak and those that don't leak yet." I had it last year and likely will again. Lots of water, zinc, neti pots and vitamins C & D. Slept 14 hours a day for two days. My smell came back in four days as I felt better, yet was still stuck in the basement. I read a lot and got decent at Madden. Get well. It's disruptive now and these restrictions ignore the damage they're doing to the still ailing supply chain, economy and collective psyche.

Hope you feel better Jeff and we can get back to some sort of normal again. I agree with you how doctors and health care providers almost seem disappointed when we test negative for Covid these days. Merry Christmas to you and yours

With all due respect, both the masks and the vaccines do work most of the time in most of the people to diminish the severity and the transmission rate, but they will not prevent it. So, why taking all or none approach because that is defeatist and unproductive it's actually counterproductive. It is irrefutable that masks diminish the quantity and distance traveled of the virus because viral particles do not travel by themselves they are attached to other matter including saliva and phlegm and saliva and phlegm have more caught by a mask than what escapes the mask, but some will always escape and some will always get trapped. If all you do is reduce it by 20% you make a huge impact.

The vaccines have been tested more than any vaccine in history and you have a higher probability of dying in a plane crash than you do from the vaccine but there will sometimes be side effects, as is the case with every medication ever invented. So how about we just try not to politicize from either side and recognize that it affects different people differently, both the virus and the vaccines, and accept the fact that hundreds of countries aren't full of s*** when it comes to this because it still sucks.

I hope you feel better soon and wish you a speedy recovery and that you do not suffer from lingering symptoms. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

"The vaccines have been tested more than any vaccine in history"??? Where did you find that? The measles vaccine was tested for over 5 years

Since when has time alone been able to compare to the number of tests? You're looking at two entirely different things

I can’t believe you crashed a golf cart after all we went through at EBCC, I’d think you could drive under any circumstances.
