So good ol' 'God' in my POV has things at 60/40 that I am infected - especially all the efforts I went to, to get a big bag of rice for mum in an Indian shop packed with Indians where one sneezed in front of me (about 6 days ago) - never-mind ....or that my lungs had an issue with the fly.

To be quite frank, IT IS ALL BOLLOCKS.

Since I was as young as I can remember I used to get cold-sores - herpes is it? - truly I don't give a fuk to check..

At 11 yrs old - me and all my class at my primary school were booked to go to France. I missed it because I had an appendicitis. When the class returned on the ship, my friends parents took me to meet everyone and pick up their kids. It would have been great, were it not for the fact that I had the worst case of cold-sores I had ever had. My entire lips were choked up with the disgusting scourge. It felt far worse than it looked.

Anyway, later in life, whenever I had the squigly tickling feeling of an impending cold-sore - it's like I could think about that feeling and all of a sudden I would feel - I don't know - anti-bodies fighting against it - I could actually feel them fighting and then my lips would quell to normal. TRULY - even now in the rare instance I feel a cold-sore coming on - BANG - I just need to think a certain way about the PRESENCE of the germ in me - and vamoosh - the cold-sore attempt is thwarted.

So back to the possibility of Covid-19 causing my chest shit. Well, here now - this is a bit different. Do I think a fly caused it or covid-19 - ----- covid 19. Am I going to get checked, sure if it gets really fucked up.

I'm truly not sure why I am making this post.

...thing is...mmm...a bit of faith can go along way. So today my lungs felt rather bad - I was coughing up some phlegm - but not much.

Here's the ENTIRE reason for the post:- IF i think of the point of my body that my lungs exist in and think about ATTACKING with those 'anti-bodies' that I do with my cold-sore issue years ago - then I can feel my lungs getting improved, within a few minutes - my lungs feel fine again! - and they have been fine ALL night - but just now - a bit weezy again.

To be quite frank AGAIN ----, I THINK THIS IS ALL BOLLOCKS.

It is ONLY because I know (for U lot - attempt to have some faith in this and STOP with seeing it as deluded and irrational) what God did via Christ.

Believe in it, be worthy of it, and concentrate on those lungs with a healing attack thought!

...on the do.u.bt side tho - I just saw a report that the symptoms are very random.

BEFORE I forget.
- I asked God to 'erase' the corona virus - since that was the word 'it' used when removing the pain from my arm.
- unfortunately the system requires the removal of ALL crucifix symbology from the 'church' of scientology first.

As some kunts say 'don't shoot the messenger' others say - 'get a fucking vaccine.'

vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 6:27 pmBut yes. It IS all bollocks. People have turned into vultures, eagerly scanning statistics reports for new cases and deaths multiple times a day. Peeping out their windows and reporting some poor sod for daring to go for a walk (which, incidentally, we are allowed to do).
And all to make sure that old people die of something else before the virus gets them. Cancer? Emphysema? Dementia? Suicide? Parkinsons? Stroke? Heart attack? Flu? Liver failure? A cold?..... Take your pick.
The price to pay for this is going to be astronomical. Child abuse and alcoholism will go through the roof. People here were stockpiling alcohol, guns and knives before the lockdown. What the f'ing f?

Yes, you might have to turn in to Mad Maxine.

Let's say we screw the containment - reopen all businesses and run the country BAU. Eventually the majority of the population would get it.

Problem is the AMOUNT of people that would require ventilator support to survive - not just the old - 20-50 year olds are well in the mix - so a huge amount of younger people will be dying. It's simply the scale of it all - maybe we could go to work with a battery powered ventilator hooked up!

To be honest - I think I had it. My lungs are fine now - I stopped vaping as much as possible - that really irritated it - duh, who would have thought.

A nurse friend of mine is taking calls from home for people asking about symptoms - I said to him, what are the odds that in my entire existence on this planet I have never had a lung infection (as least that i can remember) - and now that there is a bloody pandemic where the main symptom is pneaeuaumonia I have a terrible lung infection, short of breath in just walking the dog - at one point thinking I might end up on a ventilator! ODDS are I had the virus! - no temperature issue tho. On the flip side - I choked on a fly! - maybe that went into my lungs and caused an infection. My friend said probably the latter (even tho he doubts it went into my lungs)

How do we know the 50 year olds didn't smoke 3 packs a day, or have cancer, or emphysema, or was morbidly obese.....? The earliest Chinese statistics gave the clearest indicators of how high the risk was for different age groups. Unfortunately getting it doesn't seem to make people immune.

The government gave a Millitary Ordinance that says you are allowed physical exercise "close to home" but failed to specify what close to home actually means. It could be 500 meters or 5 km. Nobody knows.
