When the total case numbers are published, is that just PCR tests? Cause I just noticed that NJ publishes positive PCR tests and antigen tests separately. We had almost 28,000 positive cases today, which is the number the media headlines are using, but that only includes PCR. There was another 7,000 positive antigen tests, but those aren’t counted in the totals right? And I’m sure there are also tons of at-home test results that go unreported.

 

just absolutely devastating

 

another great year for posts.

edit: ouch @ 27 lol

 

This what I talk about when I say a shadow government, the elite pro-corporate version already exists and has been wildly successful.

 

Well woke up today feeling not good. Very congested and a have a sore throat.

 

I’d say this is day 3-4 of having COVID symptoms, and I feel pretty much fine. Finally tested positive yesterday, but today my cough has mostly subsided and I just have some lingering congestion. If it’s anything like when i have a cold, I’ll probably keep the congestion for the next week.

 

Been having symptoms for 9 days now and am eagerly awaiting to be done with this. It’s been a brutal week

 

I have also been sick for about 8-9 days now. Still believe it was actually two separate illnesses back to back. Still am waiting on PCR to find out if this is covid or not. If it’s not covid it’s gotta be flu. Ive felt like a run down battery for the last 4 days now. Colds don’t do this to me for this long

 

Individual choice though

 

Saw someone share this on FB and yeah the guy is definitely dumb enough that he has no idea what the actual point of the movies are lol

 

god I wish you had to be vaccinated to go to my theater

 

Wasn’t the point that revolution ultimately ends as compromise between the people and the powers that be?

 

Also, I’ve seen no theaters mandating masks in my area

 

Did an at-home test and I am positive. What a great way to end the year

 

sorry dude

 

Finally arriving in Oslo yesterday, at the airport they had all arrivals go through this massive COVID testing area. Just a giant line of people slowly going through. You just took the nasal swab, waiting around for 30 minutes for the result, and if it was negative, you got to pass through/leave, and that was it. No checking of vaccine documents or anything, which was really weird. I think being an American without a digital pass, I'd have to quarantine anyways, but nope, was able to freely leave the airport after that. Rules on the government website very clearly made a distinction between how they treat people with a digital vaccine pass and those without, but maybe they were just short staffed and didn't want to bother checking every single travelers' vaccine status

 

wonderful, truly excellent that this is happening to innocent people just trying to get non-Covid medical problems taken care of

 

Alt right Twitter is sharing a pic of AOC eating outside in Florida and trying to make a huge deal out of it lol

this is my favorite reply I’ve seen so far:

 

Does the CDC have something where I can report a positive at-home test? Or even my state? If I’m gonna have it I’d like to at least be counted in the numbers!

 

happy new year guys
