An N95 mask or better protects maybe. The other common masks are useless against Omicron. Maybe a respirator type mask? COVID is here with us just like the common cold/flu. It's never going away.

  This makes no sense to me. First, it doesn’t seem like it is the same as the common cold. I’ve had it twice now. It sucked both times, hard. I’ve had plenty of colds, not one came close. The flu felt worse but for a much shorter time, the duration of the suckiness I think wins out with covid. Second, why did “they” need to test a new drug or so rapidly? Why couldn’t they just go through the normal process and make tons of money off of it like other pharmaceuticals?

  > From talking to friends in generally high intelligence states, COVID basically _is_ the common cold. The common cold doesn't infect organs through the ACE2 receptor, including: heart, pancreas, brain and so on. Not sure what you mean with "generally high intelligence states", to me it's almost a meaningless statement. Whatever high intelligence you mean with that they're wrong, we know that COVID isn't the normal cold and that it can wreck your body much more than the common rhinovirus... > Luckily, those free-thinkers saw the plan early and stressed to the community to not get the vaccine. Why do you value contrarians in such higher regard than the medical and scientific community? Is it a search for a truth that only you know and to be special or are you just generally a contrarian, cynical person that loves to go against the grain? I have many reservations about how governments tackled the pandemic, that doesn't mean that it's a hoax, that doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. I had it twice and didn't suffer much more than the brain fog for a couple of weeks and losing my taste and smell the first time for 5 days, at the same time I know people who died from this. I seriously cannot comprehend how people after 3 years into this can still believe it's all a hoax, it's mind-boggling and I've tried hard to empathise and understand where it stems from but it seems so far away from actual reality that I simply cannot comprehend. The depths of human stupidity are probably too deep for my simpleton mind to understand...
