Thank you for what you’re doing Sharyl, you are an American hero in my book. I’d love to connect sometime. I started a company, ForeverFreeUSA.com to play my small part in fighting for the soul of our nation, & I’m wanting to provide a platform for TRUTH Activists like yourself to have a voice to expose the lies of the left & help win back our nation. Thanks & God bless you.
I know a couple in another state who had it around Easter but no one in our very large Florida Over-55 community. Strange...huh??!!
i neither have had the virus or know someone or know someone who knows someone who has had it.
A family of 12 brothers,brother-in laws, sisters sister-in-laws Average age 75 yrs old with loads of kids, scattered from AZ,Ohio,pa,md,and Florida not one has contacted the virus a few had a cold or a two day flu. I myself was tested I am a recent breast cancer survivor and late term Lyme disease with peri neuropathy and tested neg.
I did have it. I was sick for a month. Personally, I feel like it’s a very bad strain of a flu. Not worth shutting down businesses, wearing masks, sheltering in home, or not going to school. Knowledge is power. We know who die from it, old, low immune, or pre conditioned people. We also know that hydrocholoquine works. I think that’s enough. Let’s be brave, act like Americans, get off our knees, and go back to business.
I have similar experience as Delores. Have very large family most live in Dade -Broward Some in Orlando and Sarasota. I keep touch. No one’s reported a case among family or friends. Ditto for others all over US! Can’t buy poll I saw that 3 of 4 know someone with Covid. REALLY?
Similar experience as Delores.
Closest I know is a colleague overseas who claims he had it, but without any objective testing, only a symptom picture. I say he had flu. An in-law a thousand miles away has a friend whose mother died of it. Certainly she died, but again, I wonder quietly of what. The problem is - given that the tests are lousy, inappropriate, uncertain in significance, and plagued like all viral illness with the issue of false positives, and, like all supposed viral illness, this one has never actually been proven to be the exclusive result of a definite unique viral entity that has been isolated, purified, described, and then connected causally to any specific disease picture - the phrase 'having covid-19' is virtually meaningless.
Nope no one I know or have met has had it. My dad 68 copd from 40 yrs of smoking 2 packs a day congestive heart disease has to sleep with a cpap and oxygen 200 pounds over weight and still working 40 hrs a week that man has never got it.. I went to the ER on Father’s Day accidentally stab myself with a utility knife while working on a shelf went in to get stitches was worried about covid this and that got there thinking I would be waiting in line because AAALLLL of the dead and dying patience that would be there from all the terrible cases of this pandemic and not ONE single person in the ER or waiting room not one. Quiet as could be we are being lied to so badly people should be going to jail for this and the loses of everyone’s jobs and careers and homes businesses all of this to push a devastated economy and to insure mail in voting all so the democrats can stuff ballot boxes because we all know that 80% of poll workers are registered democrats. This is all political plain and simple. Word is getting out about how covid was man made and how dr Fauci was involved with it in 2014 and 15 at N.C. chapel hill and how he overidbthe moratorium that was loaded on it why do you think he’s the so called effort on the virus in the first place does anyone wonder that? Not to mention the studies being suppressed on social media and other platforms that have shown the correlation between the roll out of the 5G and this virus writing that will get your content immediately removed by the suppression police. Look into it do your own research the truth will set you free and for the love if god do not take this world wide vaccine they are trying to push on us
Absolutely true! Ditto on DO NOT TAKE THIS VACCINE!
I don’t know anyone who has had the Corona Cooties
My boss tested positive and one other employee that works in our office. Other than that no one else has had it. My boss says not bad, the worst was exhaustion!
