Has the Pandemic substantially impacted your life as a current or former cancer patient? Please post your stories; heartbreaking, frustrating, even uplifting.
If you post anything about treatments, cures, vaccinations, hospitalizations or deaths, please back it up with research from accepted, credible sources. Your Uncle's neighbor's third wife who posted a crazy conspiracy theory on Facebook is not a credible source.
Angry, passionate, sad are all acceptable, disrespectful is not.

Psst, I've got this venom extractor kit. Just take your 2 shots, and then use the kit to get the poison out. Foolproof! That'll be $35.

A little sarcasm here, but it would be interesting if that venom kit gains some traction. I'm willing to bet some will even go for the ten dollar kits used for bug bites. Hey, if they think it will work on an intramuscular injection, but are actually getting the full dose, then all the better.
I hope the Ivermectin crowd doesn't get news of this - snake venom found to be effective against Covid in monkeys.

Or effective on human samples

When I first saw the headline about snake venom and COVID, I thought those snake-handling churches are going to get new members and then start losing members.
Crazy runs deep.

While strolling the Virginia Beach boardwalk a couple weeks ago, I saw a fellow on a bicycle pulling a little cart filled with boxes that said Ivermectin on them. Yeah, just what I'm a gonna put my faith in, beach bum placeboes. Really sounds appealing.

People may buy snakes and wonder why their new boa constrictor doesn't have any venom. 🤔

The pandemic has affected the way I interact with people. I am always guarded at the outset these day when a conversation begins. I listen for the subtle and not-so-subtle cues that indicate if a person is anti vax, anti mask. Whereas before I was always tolerant of the behaviour of others, that's no longer the case. Some of that is on me, because I've been conditioned to default to the "be nice" mode my whole life. But I've finally drawn a line in the sand, allowed myself to place importance on boundaries. I don’t get confrontational, I simply decide to not engage in conversation with them any more than I have to. I can pick up when an antimaskerandvaxxer figures out I follow the science. It's like I can sense the fur standing up on their back and watch as an evil glint appears in their eyes. It's a look I remember seeing in 1970s made-for-tv movies on the faces of the townspeople carrying large clubs on fire going after women they accused of being witches in the 1600s. I'm not interested in listening to people who want to go on endlessly about masks and vaccines. Those conversations go nowhere. As the saying goes, be aware of what's really worth your energy.

I love the Wonkette's spin on the hospital "escapees." As with most of their stories, they stick with the facts and provide a link to a regular news source, but inject some wonderful snark.

I did something incredibly out of character today. There was an anti-vax demonstration outside of the San Jose City Hall today. Not a single one I saw was wearing a mask. Iwas driving by on my morning errands and I flipped them off as I slowly drove by. It didn’t feel 100% great to do that but on the other hand, I didn’t feel as bad as I thought I would. I’m just as frustrated as most of you are.
ICU refusal, leaving the hospital AMA? Fine let them go though it is upsetting to think they may continue infecting others.
