How has this Kung Flu affected your relationship? I get my girlfriend's argument to a point; her parents are 62 and 74, and they're afraid of this. That said, I refuse to Diaper and her attempts to persuade me fall on deaf ears like my logic and pointing out HCQ and Zinc could help. We've been dating for 13 months and now she brings this up, when we've done millions of things together and she's known this whole time I'm not gonna conform. More of a rant, but also curious how other readers relationships have been.

. . .

I was smiled upon the Motor Gods in that I met my girlfriend shortly before the weaponization of hypochondria, in late 2019. She is as militant as I am about not being pressured into joining a strange religious cult – and will not wear the Holy Vestment, nor receive the Holy Anointing . . . no matter what.

We are both absolutely committed to this, come what may – because much worse will come if we bend to this. I emphasize this to everyone I talk with about the Cult and its strange rituals. About the importance of not just going along with it for the sake of being able to shop, hoping it's a temporary hassle and that life will resume normalcy eventually.

It will not.

Not my girlfriend . . .
