    Anyone else feeling the pressure?

    I'm a healthy, unvaccinated, young adult. Wife left on a business trip earlier this week, and I developed cold-like symptoms a couple days ago. Told my wife about it and went to go get tested (twice), rapid and the 2-day test. Wanted to do this for my wife, since she'd have the opportunity to stay away from me with her parents if I was Covid-postive.

    The rapid came back negative, still waiting on the longer one (the one I think CDC is recalling because it can't distinguish the flu and covid). But the doc said the rapid is accurate enough. As far as I'm concerned, negative means negative, so no covid. Hardly feels like a cold.

    Instead of my wife being relieved, she's freaked out -- we both haven't been sick in years and she's having to interpret what's happening back home while on her business trip. She's talking to a bay area doctor tomorrow about getting the vaccine, and as politicized as this thing is, I know that bay area doc is not going to make any effort to help her make her own rational informed decision and will be pushing her into the vax.

    I can't blame her. The television is pounding on the Delta like it's the end times. Feeling a bit defeated right now, because early on we both decided to let our immune systems work as intended, but my being cautious and deciding to test pushed her over the edge. In the end, this is her choice and not mine to make, and I can't help but feel the corner of my little world has been Fauci'd.

    hold out just a little bit longer- Fake President Joe wants to give everyone yet to get the stab $100. I only got a $50 Safeway GC so don't be a dummy like me- you can only give up your MRNA chery once.
    1st the Gov gave people a nudge to get the shot, then- a push. We are in full on shove mode now.

          No one in my family is the least bit worried. All is absolute overreaction.

                    The DNC propagandists and gas lighters have cultivated a nation of hypochondriacs.

                    Sometimes we all feel poorly. Sometimes it is a cold. Sometimes it is allergies. Once in a long while it is flu. Eventually it is something really serious and we die. That is life. The sooner an individual accepts the reality of mortality the sooner they can do something worth while with the limited time we have.

                    Another thought....IF covid was really a killer epidemic the homeless problem would be solved by now.

                      25 years in a Cal state bureaucracy is enough for any sane person.

                        I don't believe anything that anyone in a so-called position of authority says because the people have been lied to over and over from the beginning.
                        Now they have been lying about the vaccine for months. It is not effective, it is not safe, it will not protect you or anyone around you and there are too many side effects to ignore.
                        Just because someone may have cold or flu symptoms doesn't mean it's covid.

                              If you didn't watch tv or read the news... You would have all wondered why restaurants were closed and people had masks. And this delta is leaps and bounds less bad. The propoganda is strong.. but red states and Australia aren't buying it!
