Did Covid make you think twice about kissing someone?

[laurieluvsit]

A. YES! ... Totally. I was freaked out about it for the longest time

B. Yes, I am still scared to do it

C. For a little bit yes, but not for very long

D. Nah, I was never really worried about it

E. OTHER, see my comments below, or just open the 'Covid Kiss' Survey

[MrOracle]

No. I'm not a virologist or anything, but I've read enough about infectious disease and pandemics - from somewhat older sources that weren't nearly as politically influenced - to know that COVID wasn't deadly enough to be the zombie apocolypse, and that it would do what all viruses have done: mutate to become even more infectious, but at the same time to become less deadly, which would lead to herd immunity. And that's exactly what actually happened.

The "vaccines" - which were not vaccines in the traditional sense - did not make COVID any less infectious, they only reduced the severity of the symptoms for most people, but they did so at the high price of deadly side effects for some people too. As much as the media tried to kill the stories, doctors were widely reporting severe stringy blood clots and myocarditis in patients who under normal circumstances would never get those problems, and we've had lots of young, healthy people (including a number of pro athletes in peak condition) fall over dead of these problems.

As someone who was barely able to spend time with my grandfather during his last year alive because of the pandemic, it's horribly sad that many people died, but that's ALWAYS been a reality of human life. But the vast majority of us got COVID, fought it off, and lived. That's also the norm.

[MrOracle]

I don't think that random doctors in hospitals were intentionally killing people, but there absolutely was massive artificial inflation of the death toll attributed to COVID. There was both strong political pressure to do so AND financial pressure, because hospitals were being given big federal reimbursements for every COVID victim. That's why people who died in car accidents or shootings were listed as COVID deaths if someone could manage to get a positive test result, even if that person had zero symptoms. And those tests are very easy to manipulate.

I have several family members and even more friends in the medical field, and I got many confidential reports of what was going on in all of the major hospital networks in Northern California. But of course, if people spoke up publicly, their careers would be over and little if anything would happen to those in charge, so they don't go public.

[davado88]

money isn't the motivator behind the hoax, and i dont have your faith in doctors, western medicine is malevolent.
if they didn't fool us into believing they mean well noone would go to a doctor.
and they couldnt get their hands on us.
which would ruin the whole scheme

[Longshanks1968]

I agree 1000%, the numbers are greatly exaggerated, out of the 100s of people I’ve been around without masks and the 100s they all been around without masks, NOT ONE of us got Covid or know anyone who got it or know anyone that knows someone who got it, with the exception of my best friend, but he’s a nurse and works in an environment where viruses run rampant and he said he’s had worse colds.
And proof of exaggeration of numbers, I have a friend and his girlfriend who live in thier rv and have for years, she’s had a heart condition for as long as I’ve known them, she kicked it a couple weeks ago and the hospital documented reason for death was fentanyl overdose, wtf, she never did that shit, hated it as bad as the rest of us, the EMT kept trying to get her to say she had used but I’ve seen fentanyl overdoses and they are not conscious and blue, never able to answer any questions.
I’m still pissed to discover this cuz if you can’t believe the doctors and etc, you can’t believe anyone.
So, everyone, refuse to be naive and learn to investigate anything yourself before standing for or against anything.

[MrOracle]

Again, it's a combination of political AND financial pressure, but, yes, it's not that uncommon for doctors/hospitals to lie about cause of death.

[nonyabeez-wax]

I was married when covid hit. Caught covid in November 2020. I was only concerned while I had covid.

Didn't get the DNA therapy.

Natural immunity is a thing.

Now that I'm single, I'm still not worried about it.

[laurieluvsit]

You are very wise!

[provokeesmokee]

Not really. If I'm dating someone, I'm accepting the risk of their germs. Plus I wouldn't date someone who would deny COVID or how to keep ourselves safe from it.

So vaxxed folks with generally safe hygiene practices are the bare minimum. I wouldn't get too concerned above that, just conscious of hand washing and masking if it becomes necessary.

[OlderAndWiser]

I camne out of a relationship in 2019 and started dating in 2020, around the time that covid hit the fan. I met my fiancee in December, 2020 and we started living together in August, 2021. I was never worried.

[coachTanthony]

Yeah I wasn't getting near anyone's mouth during that time. F all that.

[rigmarole]

Yeah there were women wearing masks while riding in their car alone or ridding a bike in the open air by themselves on a sidewalk with no human contact anywhere around. I was like I can't believe there are this many dumb women. This is a bit much...

[Curmudgeon]

Right - the hysteria surrounding the outbreak boggled my mind. Had common sense gone away completely?

[davado88]

i agree with emchronic its even brr proved on video here that doctors killed elderly people and called it covid, Presumably to create a dearh toll for their phomey disease.
having said the use os the term bootycall made me feel a tad cringey.
who the hell says that
anyhow why get a vaccine if a month later you have to get it again?
the whole show stinks to high heaven

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Neither my husband nor I got Covid.

Plus, we quarantined ourselves to ensure ourselves that we wouldn't get it throughout the height of the pandemic.

Covid never stopped us from kissing.

In fact, we kissed so much more.

[DannyUk2017]

I was never worried, as..
1-Had No one to kiss
2- Withe Their mask over their face (me without a mask), they were finding other "private places" to sit, so they were keeping their "distance".
3-You wouldn't dare to look at someone as they will be giving you the Death Stare! So... i wasn't worried about having someone to kiss 🤷‍♂️😂

[Longshanks1968]

Yeah what’s up with the death stare, a couple days ago I was in grocery store, without mask as was most others there, and I turned down an aisle and the dude about my age was death glaring me, now correct me if I’m wrong but if he’s wearing a mask, shouldn’t he be “safe” from my non masking wearing self? So wtf was his problem, so I asked him what the fuck is your fucking problem? He continued his death glare, I contemplated punching him out, decided that in that case me not wearing a mask was almost bad for his health, so I decided against and moved on but not without cussing him out some more. What a fucking loser! Lol

[DannyUk2017]

Yeah, so you know what i'm talking about then...🤦‍♂️

[Jaximus-Lion]

Nope! I was not worried. Plus! I live in Sweden... No quarantine, no shutdowns, no masks , going out, shopping, bars open. We just had to "keep distance"

[shortster]

I wanted to drink the milk of a woman that had recovered from COVID-19. Honestly I wasn't worried about it as I had been hearing about it from October. So I was well aware it was only mildly fatal. Less than 0.5% mortality rate; that was higher as you got older. Plus I had been preparing for a global 100 year pandemic since 2004.

[Kingofkings1992]

Covid is bullshit. It’s all just fear mongering propaganda to get as many people as possible to take that stupid jab. The response to COVID did way more harm than that pussy ass virus ever did.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

If I ever have my first kiss, covid would probably be the last thing I think about. 💋

[WhitneySnow]

Good luck. Your first kiss is amazing.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

@WhitneySnow And then people are going to be like "Why's this women in her 20s acting like an excited preteen over a kiss?" LOL

[Kingofkings1992]

@PBandJ_Nerd I thought you exclusively answered food and beverage questions. lol

[WhitneySnow]

@PBandJ_Nerd it’s fine 😊. Everybody’s ready to explore different things at different times.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

@Kingofkings1992 I usually do. But I only answer other questions if something catches my eye, which isn't too often.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

@WhitneySnow Yeah. I just dislike the people who think it must be already experienced at a certain age.

[WhitneySnow]

@PBandJ_Nerd I agree with you

[Levin]

No. People's lack of general hygiene, ability to keep a healthy weight and lifestyle makes me think twice about kissing them...

[exitseven]

It never crossed my mind. Then after I was vaccinated I was ready to put the whole thing behind me.

[HitsyHonesty]

No just keep that kissing buddy locked up with you so all is good!

[DextroShade]

I am glad I was never one of those slave-minded idiots who would let the scamdemic affect their life in such a way.

[TomMarks]

Let’s be honest, if it’s Covid now or any other number of other things, there has always been things we need to worry about just kissing random people.

[Grond21]

I didn't kiss anyone during covid. Nor was I scared as it was a minor virus for my age group. Plus I would have only kissed my girlfriend and covid wouldn't have stopped me

[Twalli]

The only person I would kiss on the lips would be my girlfriend. We didn't kiss when she didn't get the test, but when she did we french kissed. We actually had sex twice when she wasn't tested, due to unisex public bathrooms

[Little_Bumblebee]

Not really. But I don't walk around kissing a bunch of people.

[helva]

I was not freaked out but did not kiss, hug or shake hands between March 13th 2020 and July 2021

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, but I haven't had a girlfriend since well before covid hit, so I've had no one to kiss.
I'm also naturally immune.

[Joshydavid25]

I wasn't worried about COVID at all.. Much less kissing anybody..

[oswaldcobblepot]

For sure. People didn't want to touch doorknobs or keypads, they sure weren't going to be kissing anyone.

[sheikalana]

I only kiss my husband there's don't much to think about.

[DJB72]

Considering I almost died from Covid you'd think it would, but nope. Just don't sneeze in my mouth

[davado88]

you mayve almost died from something but i wouldn't take their word it was covid

[DJB72]

The advantage of working in the healthcare industry is I have access to the test results they did. It took weeks to identify the source, but it was definitely Covid. Virus and natural antibodies identified, proving I don't need the "Vax" they came up with as I'm now naturally immune to the primary strain.

Surviving it cost me my leg and 9 months in hospital recovering.

[FunkyMonkee]

I had no one to kiss so, it didn't matter at all, to me. Besides, there were several cures.

[Nikki1989]

No because I have nothing to do with anti-vaxxers.

[AngryCarl2]

Well I wouldn't kiss anyone when I have a mask on. But I'm not a very kissy person at the best of times. What's the point of mushing your lips onto another person's?

[Anonymous]

No but I've kissed no-one since my last relationship ended about 9 years ago

[DreamLife7]

U can't be serious. It's been 2 plus years ago sense the pandemic move on

[ZackBan]

It made me more likely to do it

[RealMarek]

I wasn’t worried at all because of covid.

[Anonymous]

Only 1 person I was kissing during it

[elizamichale1]

Yea at the time

[laurieluvsit]

Same.

They had me convinced for a few days that there were going to be thousands of people laying dead all over the streets. I hope they don't think they're going to fool me next time.

[elizamichale1]

We all got fooled n destroyed really... i hope they remain sane now..

[shades777]

its not a sexually transmitted diease...

[justabuddy]

I was not as scared of covid like most people.

[BLP11520]

No, but I know people who stopped dating.

[Anonymous]

yes, a frog coz covid was a fairytale

[jahaims]

Nope, I am married.

[Anonymous]
