if you were born in a hospital in the usa after 1993 then you already have been microchipped.

Dayum you be Seriously_trippin. Take, take it easy. I been taking temps and monitoring for 3 days, all normal and staying home. So you need to smoke doobie and learn to not make assumptions of people.
I just said I, me, my person is not taking the test. My body, my choice, right?

Nothing to fear, they will probably just install some kind of update on the microschip that is already there.

I'm not gonna lie, I pulled this shit on Thanksgiving. Well kinda. I opted out of Thanksgiving this year and said it was because I was being cautious with covid, but in reality I wasn't worried about that shit at all, I just didn't want to go this year.

I was surprised at how much dust and fine particles still get through the respirator filters when I started my painting job. They definitely help but moving around so much I'm sure the filter's seal on my face doesn't stay perfect. The first week I was grinding down a garage floor with a concrete grinder, so my brand new respirator with new filters was a necessity. Concrete dust still got through even though my head was mostly staying in one position.

I haven't been sick with anything since COVID started and I've been exposed to COVID for somewhere between 500 and 1000 hours this year so far by wearing protective equipment you probably just picked your nose without thinking about it at some point and caught COVID.

koods said: Imagine being so ignorant you believe that trying to avoid getting sick is bad for the immune system.
Getting sick builds up immunities. Are you thay daft?
Immunities that you only need if you get exposed to the virus in question.
It's a bit like saying that getting attacked by other countries is good for country because it mobilizes the military
Not a perfect analogy but close.
There is more than one immune system. For things that we don't vaccinate against, some could argue it's a good idea to allow yourself to develop antibodies. Such a strategy would this apply to things like the common cold. But really the only advantage of doing this is to avoid getting sick from the same or very similar viruses again. In theory, if you could totally avoid those viruses, having the antibodies offers no advantage.
In the case of something like the flu or covid, where the INNATE (read: inflammatory and cytotoxic [cell-killing] immune response) can do a lot of damage to the body, you can't convincingly argue that getting sick and developing antibodies is the best overall strategy. Particularly when an effective vaccine exists you can't make that argument.

I do COVID testing. Ask them if you can look at it with a magnifying glass if you want. it's nothing more than a long thin piece of plastic with some silky-cotton like material at the tip and a groove to snap it in half.. there is nothing on it, nor is there any mechanism for disengaging something attached to it. the swab is immediately placed in a liquid culture after it leaves your nose.

Not getting a covid test seems reasonable enough to me, as long as you're not doing it to avoid admitting it might be covid. If you're being careful not to infect other people, then knowing it's covid rather than a cold doesn't really matter all that much right now. Personally, if you have insurance or if it's cheap or easy or whatever, then I'd get one of those mail-in covid tests. I'd think about it more like preventative health care for the time being, sort of like getting an STD panel after sleeping with a prostitute, though I admit it's less useful at the moment since there's no badass treatment for covid.
Also, that respirator setup sounds fucked to me. You should definitely not have paint stuck in your nostrils if that setup is working correctly, and I can only imagine how much solvent you've been inhaling over the years. I don't know enough about that stuff to guess what's wrong, but if you have a buddy who's into hazmat, then he'd be worth asking. Nothing motivates safety improvements like OSHA complaints. It's a lot easier to justify the cost of better safety equipment when you compare it to the cost of an OSHA fine.
