I had COVID and had days, especially early in my infection, where I didn't really have much in the way of symptoms.

People react to the virus differently. We don’t know how serious his symptoms are.

The Cons will do anything/everything, even burn in hell I warrant, to get that woman on the SC. Further, who among us is unaware of the fact that they lie to us each and every day, not to mention cheat.

I don’t give a crap.

Just don’t formulate your opinions based on things like this which can be easily explained. It’s ludicrous to think that because he’s not presently showing symptoms that means he’s lying about having it. That’s the case with a lot of people who get the disease.

I think this is more bullshitting, trying to tell us it’s not that bad.

You can stop exhibiting symptoms and still be contagious. Symptoms can be managed.
