Yes it does.. I would feel far more worried at dying by the hands of other urban blacks than I would of being pulled over for speeding in a 35 if I were black.

Look at you using heyjackass.com Love it.

The fascinating one is 58 highway shootings in 2019, 128 in 2020, and 138 SO FAR in 2021. No other city is seeing this weird phenomenon.

The "road rage" stat is a bit strange. I mean, why now all of a sudden? Was the regular shooting violence getting boring?

I have had a few moments with motherfuckers plugging the passing lane... but don't think I'd empty a clip. I assume it is neighborhoods spilling over to the highway. As is always the case for Chicago, they got a $12.5 million dollar federal grant to improve highway monitoring and the numbers skyrocketed. :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

With the number of black homicides every week, every month, every year, how the hell are there still black people alive in that city?

No positive test I refuse to get one, but I had all of the symptoms to the extreme. It was the sickest I've ever been. I was pretty sure that death would be better.
I was switching from burning fever(106 F) to freezing cold. The bed would be soaked from the sweat so I changed beds constantly so the wife could wash the linens.Practically delirious for 3 days.
Afterward my sense of smell was shot, not necessarily a bad thing because to this day most offensive smells are undetectable or smell like coffee to me. For instance the smell of skunks that have been hit, others will comment but I smell nothing.
Loss of taste was another, but that one I miss. I love my beer but after recovery I couldn't stand beer in a can, other beverages were ok. I just switched to bottles, so my beer budget doubled. I have to be careful when cooking (which I have always loved to do) and rely on memory because my taste-buds are still out of wrack.
I fatigue easily since then.
I have never been bothered by asthma or bronchitis until last winter. While chopping wood I nearly blacked out from loss of oxygen. I sat down to control breathing, but it didn't matter how deep I breathed I couldn't get any oxygen. Thought maybe I was having a stroke but everything was good after about 15 minutes. There was a few more instances like that till I learned not to over exert myself while outside. Cold air has never affected me like that.
Then there was the congestion. It got so bad that I got an inner ear infection. Every time my heart beat it felt like someone was shoving an ice pick in my ear. Most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my life.
While sitting in an exam room waiting for a doctor, my eardrum ruptured. I felt a pop and it sounded like air escaping a tire. The pain dropped as the hiss dwindled.

Of course back then(2013) when Fauci was still performing his tests in the US, it was just called the flu.

I had no idea the flu caused long term loss of taste and smell...

:rimshot:

Ok, very funny (but I'm sorry about that terrible flu. Sounds like something you would get in India).

I feel like saying something wise and sensible, like if that's how you react to the flu then I really hope you don't get covid-19. But I know I have no influence.

Still, I hope you don't get Covid :d

You made me Google. It appears so.


Both COVID-19 and flu can have varying degrees of signs and symptoms, ranging from no symptoms (asymptomatic) to severe symptoms. Common symptoms that COVID-19 and flu share include:

Fever or feeling feverish/having chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue (tiredness)
Sore throat
Runny or stuffy nose
Muscle pain or body aches
Headache
Vomiting and diarrhea
Change in or loss of taste or smell, although this is more frequent with COVID-19.

The flu can tear your ass up. There's a reason tens of thousands plus people die from it every year. 2017-2018 was particularly bad in the US.

I've never had anything like that before or since, nor do I get a flu shot because I have always had excellent immunity. I didn't even touch on the degradation of my nervous system.

However none of that changes the fact that Fauci was doing corona virus experiments here during that time period and was shut down a few years later.
