      Embrace the meteor.  Its path is its will.  It’s coming to release us all from the plague of nincompoops.

      Of course I’ve no doubt they’ll try to shoot something at it to change its course and will accidentally destroy Mars, our backup planet, instead.  Nincompoops.

        Plague of nincompoops it is.  So true. And ridiculously funny.

          [mention]Matt [/mention] our kids are 7 and 10. They start school this Monday. Wish they could get a shot yesterday. The helpless feeling is the worst.

          Yeah, it’s only a matter of time before they send them all home for zoom school again.  My 7 yr old has been sent home one for a covid test because she was constipated, their bus driver has been out all week due to an exposure so the bus is 45 mins late every day and the local high school is closed altogether for to volume of cases.

          There’s really no side effect that would be more debilitating than the foolishness that the antivaxxers are already burdened with.  At least own up to the reality that you’re just being contrarian for the sake of it and stop hiding behind lame ass conspiracy theories.  I won’t respect your decision but at least it’ll be less frustrating.

            [mention]Matt [/mention] I think you hit the nail on the head…being a contrarian just for the sake of it.  I don’t even know if THEY know that’s all they want. A lot of toddlers throwing tantrums around here.  I’ve had a hard time coming to the realization that I can’t reason with these toddlers. I guess embracing that reality is the first step towards less frustration and stress.

                Joking aside, I truly feel for those of you with loved ones currently struggling with this virus. I also can’t imagine what it’s like to have kids right now—my thoughts are with the parents among us as well.

                            I agree. Six weeks after my second Pfizer-shot I got a three day -flu. Had to take the Corona-test and boom! Positive.

                              Arnold Schwarzenegger made the point that we should all wear masks and get the vaccine. OK, he phrased it as "Screw your freedom", which didn't go down well.

                              The fitness industry as a whole seems to be vehemently anti-vaccine. Several bodybuilders have been critical of Arnie because they don't want to risk taking something that has passed through testing in a record time. They are, however, perfectly happy using black-market steroids that were brewed in a bathtub, without any sterilisation protocols, and often using compounds that were never approved for human use.

                              I think that I'll go with Arnie's sentiment: If you want to build biceps, listen to him. If you want to fight a highly infectious pandemic, listen to epidemiologists.

                              Ironically, the regional (or rural) parts of Victoria went into a snap lockdown at 1 pm today because of a Covid 19 cluster that originated in a 24 hour bodybuilding gym forty minutes up the road from me…

                                        Thanks, @goosehd . I would say we are back to about 80% now. Smell and taste are both still missing, but hopefully that remedies in the next few days.

                                            I’d miss my sense of smell.  I could get down with some hearing loss though.  Especially before and after school.
