In today's remarkable right-wing self-own, crazy, COVID-minimizing, MAGA Laura Loomer admits to having Long #COVID19 without realizing it.
@augieray As they say, no one seems to know anyone who has long covid, only lots of people who happen to have the same symptoms as long covid!
@beige_alert @augieray I'm honestly wondering more and more if I have long covid. At first I thought I was just depressed from being so isolated but the isolation is over now and I still feel sludgey all the time.
@Tsutsuku @beige_alert There's a lot going on in the world. Make sure to make time for the things that make you happy. (Or, it could be Long COVID--if it persists, see a doc, please.)
@augieray
finished too soon I was waiting for her linking the blame to Hunter Biden
@augieray Such a remarkable lack of awareness, but I think that's a common problem on the Right — indeed, the Right seems to strive for a lack of awareness in general.
@Leisureguy @augieray heaven forbid someone would be aware! only those terrible woke people are aware! 😂😂🤣😆😢😫
@augieray ...So it's these idiots that have BEEN GOING AROUND... BEING CONTAGIOUS TO ALL AROUND THEM...EVER MADE ANYONE THINK ... ABOUT HOW MANY ... THEY MAY HAVE ...
KILLED !?!?!???
@augieray it's amazing how little awareness they have of even the things they themselves are saying
@eniko @augieray I, personally, am connecting this to the fact that a lot of people don't have an internal monologue.

@Illuminatus @eniko @augieray

You call that a fact, and it might be, but how can you possibly tell?

@Illuminatus @eniko @augieray lack of internal monologue is not at all the same as lack of thought or lack of self reflection! Please don’t conflate them.
@eniko @augieray
Could that also be a symptom?
@hugh @augieray pretty sure that's just the fascist comorbidity
@augieray I took psychic damage from reading this
@augieray PR person was napping probably while this nightmare unfolded.
@abhijith @augieray PR person was napping because of chronic fatigue due to long covid.
@augieray lol, this is almost as good as when she locked herself to an open door at Twitter HQ
@augieray tell me you’ve had Covid without telling me you’ve had Covid
@augieray Is there something wrong with me? No it’s the vegetables, none of them want to vegetable anymore. Lazy entitled millennial vegetables.
@[email protected] 😂😂😂she found out without actually finding out. God those people need to go back to kindergarten, learn to connect dots... Lol
@augieray The latest MAGA conspiracy. The food industry is gas lighting people.
@skepticsbookoflists @augieray they’d just blame the workers being lazy
@augieray Thanks! This has really cheered me up. Loving the comments too. Hope you feel better very soon.

@augieray

yes, I've heard that your tasted buds are screwed up forever if you had Covid. At our age, we took the threat seriously, and we still do, so we wore masks constantly out and about. Subsequently, I made Carroll Shelby's chili w/beef & red bell pepper yesterday. Added the WAY TOO DAMNED expensive Fritos on top for a great tasting late lunch. Taste buds still working here! carry on.

@BillMcGuire @augieray I don’t think it’s universal. I had COVID and while it sapped my energy for a long time (still don’t feel as energetic) my taste/smell were unaffected.
@augieray jokes aside, that sucks absolute ass. If I couldn't taste food anymore I would be a miserable little shit all the time too
@ItsSheVee @augieray Sure, but for her the being a miserable little shit part is a pre-existing comorbidity.
@augieray I liked this response
@LizEllisPhD @augieray I’m having a Poe’s Law moment here. I want to believe that this is someone trolling Loomer, but it’s probably genuine
@augieray Laura Looooney, Please do stay home, stay away from the restaurants and above all, please stop talking!! FLOR-I-DUH has a bad enough reputation as a crazy state and when you speak, it proves the point!!

@augieray

Covid 19 is still killing ~1000 Americans a week. The CDC still lists it as the #3 killer of Americans.

This feed will show you how many Americans are killed by Covid 19 each week. It is updated on Fridays.

@beforewisdom @augieray But is it killing them indiscriminately, or just the stupid un-vaxxed ones? If the latter, then file under "evolution in action".

@bytebro @augieray

I'm not a medical expert, but I think as long as people are dying from a disease that means it can spread to you, and worse, mutate into a more dangerous form.

Worse, at least in the U.S., it has been way over 6 months since most people have had their booster shots, which means most of us are vulnerable.

Most Americans have stopped social distancing and wearing masks indoors. These aren't the stupid antivaxxers. People are getting Covid 19 again. The worst example was a month or so ago with a convention for the Center Of Disease control which had a convention in a hotel. Most of the attendees got infected.

@bytebro @beforewisdom @augieray Even vaccinated people are conking from COVID. It's just slightly less likely

@augieray

She should volunteer to be putin's food 'taster'

@augieray Or maybe she's depressed.
@augieray
🥥 #LauraLoomer finds an excuse for her personal brand of bigotry: Long #covid. She's had symptoms far longer than covid's been around. 🥥

@augieray

I the years to come, you're going to hear all these antivaxxers complaints. Olfactory disruption is a hallmark symptom of Covid and post-Covid recovered. Just like when they had "Covid Parties" and "chicken pox (herpes zoster) parties". All those kids are far more likely to get shingles later. I even got the zoster vax. I've seen how miserable it is. Yikes. Who knows what health problems we'll see what in 30 years from Covid.

@augieray Please tell me that a few thousand people jumped up in her mentions to explain to her what anosmia is?

@augieray and Stephen Leary.

Poor things, my food tastes fantastic!

Or you know, it could be all those people that spit in their food...

@augieray After 6-8 months after my first covid infection in April 2020 I started having energy to walk fast or watch TV after work. Who knows how I would be today without my 2 infections? Is x caused by those or?? Everybody in my workplace got different symptons in April 2020
@augieray Few people deserve to be in the "find out" stage more than her.
@augieray she didn’t admit to shit ! She is saying gmo food tastes like crap bc it does and myself and others have said this for a while now ! Don’t project your bs assumptions onto this woman
@Care1111 @augieray and what bot farm are you with?
@augieray I wonder oh what could have happened to cause that for her
@augieray I dunno. My take is Loomer has been tasteless and desensitized way longer than COVID has been around. Possible patient zero, I guess.
@augieray Let me get this straight because I’m having a hard time believing Laura Loomer as she’s known to be such a brilliant thinker. You’re telling me the same woman who forgot to put air in her tires and blamed it on leftists sabotaging her car doesn’t recognize the signs of long Covid? Now this to me is a mystery worthy of the attention of Ripleys Believe it or Not.
@augieray I think maybe their body is rejecting human food.
