Getting COVID 5 times doesn’t make you “stronger.” The immune system isn’t a muscle—repeated infections can cause cumulative damage and raise long-term risks.

Protect your immune system by avoiding repeat infections: clean air, masks, vaccination.

Quote: Someone claims having COVID 5 times gives them antibodies and makes them stronger than someone who hasn’t had it.

Adam (masked, with air purifiers) replies: “Then why did you have it 5 times??” Laughing emoji.

I ragged my son about getting a colonoscopy and getting a prostate exam. I also threatened to embarass him online. It worked.

I think some people are confusing pancreatic cancer with prostate cancer. Women don’t have a prostate, so yes ,men should definitely get checked for prostate cancer starting at 50, at 45 for African American men, and even earlier if there’s a family history.

My heart aches for D'Angelo and Angie Stone's son. I know the pain of losing a parent to a terminal illness but I cannot imagine having that happen in the same year as losing the other parent in a car accident. It is so incredibly tragic and unfair for that young man, who is only 26-27 years old.

"Millions infected in Germany. Flu, cold or corona?"

Germany reports 7.5 million new respiratory illnesses each week.

During Oktoberfest, over 6 million visitors gather in crowded, poorly ventilated tents in Munich—creating ideal conditions for viruses to spread rapidly.

Pretty sure it’s COVID.
