I get what you're saying but I am so tired of talking about it and thinking about it.

Many people wore their masks wrong. I know because I noticed these things. A big percentage of them. At least 30 percent. Oh, and mass demonstrations being outdoors doesn't make a big difference when we're talking about such close proximity, remember?

Um, I responded to that post.

Oh well, at least the church I was attending when I lived there (I don't live in that state anymore) started back serving communion wine, which was nice. The church I am attending now still isn't serving communion wine. This is not in the individual cups by the way. It's real wine, in one large goblet.

Ah, in other words, it's a very tiny sample size anyway. More of that anecdotal evidence that isn't very helpful.
And they still got sick and had symptoms, just not severe ones. Did you also verify whether they'd been vaccinated?
I didn't say you said only one person didn't get it. You said you didn't get it, as if it was a miracle. I just pointed out that one individual not getting it isn't anything special, and it doesn't run counter to anything people say about viruses.

Yes, I am, and I wish I wasn't but here I am. Compulsive and bored, I guess.

Yes, I verified whether or not they had been vaccinated. Many had not. It didn't seem to matter one way or the other.

How did you calculate this number? Sounds like you just made it up. Let's say you made it up. That still leaves 70%, - a vast majority -that DID wear their masks properly and followed safety protocols.
"Why choose outdoor activities?
It's much harder to catch the virus that causes COVID-19 when you are outside.
The COVID-19 virus is mainly spread from person to person among those in close contact. The virus spreads through respiratory droplets from your lungs, mouth and nose. These droplets are released into the air when you talk, cough, speak, breath or sneeze.
In small places or spaces with air flow, also called ventilation, that is poor, the COVID-19 virus can stay in the air for minutes or hours.
When you're outside, fresh air is always moving, scattering these droplets. So, you're less likely to breathe in enough of the respiratory droplets that have the virus that causes COVID-19 to get the virus.
Places at high risk of COVID-19 spread are those that have a high number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 or a high number of new COVID-19 cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
In areas of medium or high risk, the CDC suggests people wear well-fitted masks indoors in public, among other tactics.
The CDC and other health agencies also suggest that outdoor group activities are less risky than indoor ones in spreading the virus that causes COVID-19.
Outdoor activities that are near where you live and allow plenty of space between you and others pose a lower risk of spread of the COVID-19 virus than indoor activities do.
Being outside offers other benefits, too. It offers an emotional boost and can help you feel less tense, stressed, angry or depressed. And sunlight can give your body vitamin D, too."
Stay safe, have fun during the COVID-19 pandemic

I didn't say I didn't get it "as if it was a miracle" - I just said I didn't get it, for the record. I didn't. I wish I had to be honest, because I would have gotten to stay home for a week.

I directly replied. I asked which "mass demonstrations" were not shut down. You didn't reply to that. I don't know what you mean by the second thing, but you asked me, and I told you.

You said:
"Here's the really crazy thing - a few months ago, COVID raged through our workplace. Did I get it? Nope. Did anyone die from it? Nope. Did anyone even get very sick from it? Nope. But everyone who tested positive did get a week off from work, vaccinated or not. I remember that I was actually sort of jealous."
You called it a "crazy thing", as if you not getting it is out of the ordinary, like it runs counter to the general scientific narrative.

If you're going to continue talking about, regardless of why, at least stop saying how sick and tired of it you are. Either stop posting, or stop complaining about that.
Compulsion?
I thought of mentioning that too.
Rational full investigation is out of the question.
It feels so good to stop, eh.Excuse me while I go continue to beat my head against a wall.
