Yeah, I've honestly gotten to the point where I'm not surprised by anything anymore and can't tell truth from fiction.

Another fun one is the use of Ethylene Oxide to sterilize the swabs. It is a carcinogen but it seems like it's is used in many places.

It was just funny that I stumbled on the ethylene and worm thing _after_ I got my test today.

It's absurd really. Thankfully I'm hearing others with similar introspections. I was feeling quite crazy. Maybe we'll come out of this okay by being curious.

Yeah I like to remain optimistic, IMO that is the only way to stay sane.

It's just funny how total opposite realities can coexist. I get a NYT daily email which makes it sound like everything is okay, vaccines are working great, etc, then I can spend 10 minutes reading `/r/conspiracy` and it really throws you upside down. Not to say that everything said there is true (I know most of it is likely bs), but I enjoy seeing the total opposites ends of the spectrum.
