#COVID-positive
Oopsie for the 6th year in a row. Because why do serious prevention when you can overwhelm health care each year.
"The figures show there were 950 hospital admissions for Covid in August and the total jumped to 4,939 in September, up by around 420 per cent."

To keep the official plague count at zero, officials are suppressing test data. Quarantined patients showing respiratory symptoms are being blankly diagnosed with COVID-19 or common colds. Heavy FSB security around these "ghost wards" ensures no true positive data escapes. 🛑

To distract from the outbreak, local officials are already claiming quarantined contacts are testing positive for COVID-19 or common colds instead. With the FSB scrubbing social media and media reports, the baseline assumption is that the official data is being heavily falsified. 🛑

Interestingly, I have a friend, a biotech researcher, she signed up to various clinical trials, on top of the approved recommendation vaccines for Covid…. I’ve lost count of the # of times she’s been vaccinated. Proof positive that vaccination are safe. She’s done a great service 🙂👩‍🔬🧪🔬🧬💉

medical observation, though official confirmation of that number has not been provided. Some contacts have tested positive for COVID-19 and rhinovirus, the virus that causes the common cold, according to Rospotrebnadzor.

Cmon lady, the entire world has come too far from 2020 for you to still think it's cool to come in without a mask for your covid meds when you tested positive after being around sick family members and actually do feel ill today, like seriously wtf 🤬🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s just the one woman at this point. They’re *monitoring* around 200 people who had contact with her after she was exposed, but so far none have gotten sick or even tested positive. The monitoring is normal and appropriate, but people are hearing about it and having flashbacks to COVID.

And yet, weirdly we won't mask up unless it's for racist nazi protests. Never got that about the West at all, on that it falls pathetically to Asian countries that do this far better.

So I tested myself again for covid this morning, negative this time and I'm also feeling a lot better. Perhaps I caught a stray bug? Either way, liking the test yesterday was a false positive.

This also means I can return to streaming soon!
