    I’ve heard someone tell me “it’s a hoax but I got sick twice” in the same sentence.

      My boss lost his sense of smell (it’s been over a year). He copes by saying he’s never been much of a foodie! He tells employees not to take covid tests.

      Shall I assume you don’t live in the USA?

      They withheld any information about C-19 to US citizens until into 2020. Yet I found myself sick with ‘influenza’ for Christmas 2019.

      That was the closest thing worth calling a ‘hoax’, the fact that it came out in 2019, but the US public wasn’t even made aware of it until later into 2020.

      By then people were already sick, and it was spreading out of control. Lockdown was about a joke at that point, they waited too long for lockdown to do a damn thing.

      BTW, it didn’t affect me any worse than any other case of a strong cold or the flu, though I totally realize it affected others differently.
