    My wife likes the American Ninja Warrior show. She keeps getting on my case on when I am going to sign up (and trust me I don't have any physical abilities that would make me successful). I gently mock the show all the time.... when I am not being sarcastic about her other shows - "Love Island" and "Big Brother". (sigh)

    Do you actually read what I write?

    I asked for Nine Ender to back up with an empirical study, the claim that COVID 19 causes long lasting problems in a way that is different from any other respiratory disease one can catch.

    So you're saying I never supported Obama on anything? And what happens if I show you a post where I did? Are you going to apologize or just say it is bullshit?

    Because I voted for him in 2008. Just putting that out there. So before you claim it is the same thing as Fred and Trump, you might want to consider that little tidbit.

    There are multiple studies on COVID "long haulers" under-weigh as outlined in this Nature article. There is certainly enough medical evidence that there are numerous long-term COVID health issues -- however it takes time for complete studies on these issues.

    The lasting misery of coronavirus long-haulers
    Months after infection with SARS-CoV-2, some people are still battling crushing fatigue, lung damage and other symptoms of ‘long COVID’.

    So no empirical study, because we didn't have enough time. Exactly. So stop making the claims as if it is anything different than other respiratory viruses. If you go look up pneumonia or the lasting effects of the flu on some patients, you'll find the same stuff. Stop making this into a supervirus simply to fit your narrative.

    Oh, and putting your whole post in bold and amber color doesn't make it more truthful, just for a side note.

    We had this conversation long ago. Your support was along the lines of, "he could have spent more on the stimulus package but didn't!"... an implicit criticism.

    How many people are hospitalized with the common cold? How many people die of the common cold each year? How many people have lingering health issues from the common cold months later?

    There is a reason that deaths, hospitalization, and long term health effects for the common cold are never in the news. It is because they are so rare. Unlike COVID-19 where all of these are common.

    So if I post where I supported him (never mind that I voted for him which was the biggest support I can offer) outside of the stimulus package thing you are mentioning, you will do what? Apologize? Dismiss? Ignore?
