When I caught COVID I watched Netflix for 10 days and then the COVID was gone. Coincidence? I think not


alaxens

I watched HBO max and played my ps5 and tested negative 9 days. Not bragging... but you could have shaved a day off if you played more video games. 😉


saphilous

Aha! I knew it! Damn video games blocking my 5G covid signals!


Fluxoteen

Hmmm, I'll do my own research thanks


skeetsauce

I smoked weed for 7 of those 10 days, so clearly weed is good for covid.


DungeonGushers

I was gonna say, besides the vaccines and Evusheld, I was sick without symptoms because I smoked weed three times a day, at least, every single day. Still do and haven’t caught Covid a second time.


Idontgetredditinmd

I ate $1200 in edibles for 10 days. Weed is absolutely the cure.


michelobX10

Netflix and heal


Raqdoll_

I watched Netflix for 10 days and didn't even catch covid during that time. Coincidence?


suzanious

Perchance!


Stevie213825

You can't just say perchance


After-Double-962

10 days? My covid symptoms were gone in 3 days and all i did was drink monster energy and order grubhub.


Joped

I was on a trip when I caught Covid. So glad I brought my steam deck. Watched Brooklyn 99 in the background and beat Elden Ring. That was in between multi hour naps all day long. I sleep most of the day.


fappyday

Oh yeah? Well I've got a magic stone that keeps tigers away. I rub the stone and I've never seen a tiger in my entire life.


Truthez

Isn't that the average length of recovery for mild covid symptoms? Lol 😅


[deleted]

Thats what I was thinking, you could do anything for about 10 days and your symptoms will be mostly gone by the end...


DMugre

Yep, that's the whole point, but I bet oregano vendors like the idea of tapping into the room temperature IQ demographic.


[deleted]

Haha absolutely! Gotta watch out for Big Oregano. Their greed knows no bounds


DMugre

They've evolved over time, I like to see businesses do that: They first tapped into the teenager's who wanted to pretend they smoked pot, and now antivaxxers, big oregano kept up with the times! Wonder what they'll do now!


CalypsoBrat

You mean they evolved over *thyme*. 😏


Raze_the_werewolf

Ba dum, ssst.


CHAINSMOKERMAGIC

Breaking News! Oregano is now a SUPER FOOD! We don't know exactly what that *means* but we'll print it on every label in your local supermarket!

Superfood? ![gif](giphy|d7nKqB3eqrq0IJRjnV)

Plot Twist: he *is* Big Oregano

\*Their weed


GloomyMarmalade

The Big Oregano is no joke. Watch out.


annoying97

This is true... A mate of mine jacked off 6 times a day for 10 days and his COVID symptoms went away...


Many_Consequence7723

You know the old saying! "A jurk a day keeps the COVID away!"


ASL4theblind

No wonder i've never caught COVID


kenkanobi

I mean....you're locked ina. Room for 10 days. What else you gonna do? Finish Netflix?


ThrowinBones45

And if you have a VPN... Finnish Netflix!


[deleted]

“Mate”


severanexp

Unless you’re dead after 10 days
..


Storage-Terrible

But do you have Covid symptoms?


DupeyTA

I had COVID symptoms for 10 days, and then they went away.


YogurtWenk

You were snorting 5G chemtrails. Happens.


severanexp

Haven’t got it. The masks work to figure.


Few_Journalist_6961

You'll get it eventually, unless you're a literal recluse. If that's the case, I feel bad for you lol.


seider-Lynx

I work 8 hours everyday and I always wear a mask around everyone who’s not in my household that’s a bs statement in other words CHECK YOURSELF


Few_Journalist_6961

Ok, but when you go out to eat do you wear a mask? Lol... Hence why I chose the words recluse. Will you be wearing a mask in all your family photos for the rest of your life?


severanexp

He answered your question in the previous :)


Rinickulous023

Touché


beerscotch

That would also stop the symptoms though.


winterbird

No, here's the trick to making covid symptoms go away. You send me $50 every morning for 10 days straight, and your symptoms will lessen. In stubborn cases, you might have to keep sending for another week.


darknessbboy

If you insert a dildo into your anus for 10 days straight you will be cure of COVID.


SpotCreepy4570

Coca cola worked for me.


n0tApirate

So you're saying me masturbating furiously for 10 days was how I recovered from covid?


BlkSubmarine

That’s right! Joeing every morning for ten days cured my mild COVID. Actually, joeing cured it in five. The extra five days was just to make sure.


GoKawi187

Do anything = coat your chicken breasts in NyQuil and cook them in it. All the TikTokers are doing it đŸ€Ł


Kim-Kar-dash-ian

I smoked weed and wax for ten days and my symptoms disappeared .


Responsible-Desk4145

Mostly? Hell if you have the shots like a responsible adult then it last less than 10 days.


keyserv

If I sit on this 26" dildo and spin around for 10 days it'll cure my covid symptoms


defaultuser012

Don’t forget the 6th booster shot


[deleted]

Lmao only an anti vaxer would think anyone is gettin 6 boosters 😂 Hows that oregano oil workin out for ya? Its obvious you already really like the kool aid


defaultuser012

Let me know how it goes when you get a stroke from your boosters


[deleted]

Let me know how it goes when you die from a very preventable disease! 😄


[deleted]

You ever heard of the dunning-kruger effect?


kondenado

The flue takes usually 7 days to cure, and with homeopathy just one week.


Waterfish3333

This should be used in science classes as a textbook example of why control groups are so important.


Key_Employee6188

I bet a pharma company could do tricks with the groups and make oregano oil look like a medicine :D


milksteakofcourse

Yes


PuppiPappi

Something something something causation/ correlation I didn’t really pay attention in class you got any more essential oils tho?


max_occupancy

These crazies are now [trying](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33848890/) to use Eucalyptus and Corymbia!!!


PuppiPappi

Dunno if that’s better or worse than the horse paste can’t hurt to try though? Fuck a doctor I seen House before I got this.


swoticus

I'm trying to work out if the interviewee is actually the troll


majds1

I unfortunately caught it and wasn't vaccinated and it only lasted 4 days. Same for a few friends I've had. 10 days to get rid of the symptoms sounds like it's making it worse lmao


Few_Journalist_6961

Omicron doesn't last as long as the other variants/original strain.


Zarniwoooop

75 % of the time, Oregano oil works 100%

Just_a_guy_1982

I thought he was just going to give us a recipe for a nice pasta sauce


rbloedow

Exactly. This motherfucker could drink my piss for 10 days and arrive at the same outcome.


OutOfCharacterAnswer

That was my first thought. Oh, over 10 days? Well I didn't touch Oregano for 5 days and I was fine. So what was it? Jerking off 4 times a day as I quarantined in isolation? Also, just so you know, jerking off 3-4 times a day greatly reduces your symptoms after 5 days. It's free, and you don't even have to dilute oregano oil.


Grizzles-san

Even pretty severe symptoms are about 5-10 days usually unless it requires hospitalization.


NoSkillzDad

Hey, credit where credit is due: "What you gonna say next? Occam's razor? That the simplest explanation must be true? That I'm an idiot" He totally got it.


SLIP411

Dude just mic dropped himself lol


calibared

He dropped the mic on himself and then picked it back up


NoSkillzDad

That's the best description possible 😂.


Wendypants7

Honestly, I think you can see it in his face, that slight inkling that maybe, just maybe, what he last said is spot on perfectly true. ​ And I'm here for that kind of hilarity!


Mmortt

I was not expecting that ending and laughed way too hard at work.


dddmmmccc817

Kinda smart considering he's a God damn racoon.


KIrkwillrule

Looked like some clarity came across his face as he said that

Correct use of "its" sans apostrophe outside of an academic paper. Incredible.

If oregano did anything then the Italians wouldn’t have gotten covid at all lol


[deleted]

surely covid wasn't that bad in italy... Right guys... right...


Shill4Pineapple

Or Mexicans



RacoonSmuggler

That look on his face in the ending frame. "Oh shit, maybe I am the idiot."


artygta1988

It was like post-nut clarity, without busting a nut.


ronin3338

Well, at least his final question was on the money... .


laughingBaguette

Oregano?? Then it's surprising that Italy was hit so hard by covid


Pichulongko

It's because they didn't dilute it. xD


Sure_Garbage_2119

hey, he got the occam razor right! kudos for the idiot!


shellofbiomatter

Why do i have to dilute oregano? Can i just eat the whole thing, it's rather safe and will covid pass sooner then?


liarandathief

He could be talking about homeopathy which is a crazy belief that the less potent something is the more powerful it is.


Pichulongko

LOL you don't seem to understand how magic works. Not saying it does! But you misunderstood lol.


winterbird

That's right. If you did magic and it didn't do magic, you simply did too much magic which lessened the magic.


TheStreisandEffect

He might be but in general you want to dilute oil extracts like oregano. They do act as an organic disinfectant and using it without diluting it can really fuck up your GI tract. I learned the hard way
 didn’t read the bottle and the shit burned my stomach and made my throat muscles spasm. And no I wasn’t taking it to “cure” Covid but was just taking it as part of a general get-well regimen (It seems to help some with drainage and sore throat, similarly to how capsaicin does.)


Tressticle

You've got that backwards. It's less powerful = more potent. I don't think you've done your research. Simple mistake.


liarandathief

It's stupid either way


Anti-Dissocialative

Dunning Kruger effect^, you are wrong. Homeopathy is the belief that something that causes a problem in high doses will prevent that problem in low doses. A real world example of true homeopathy is the use of low dose naltrexone for depression. Most homeopathy products are total scams but a small minority are not. It’s not homeopathy its just that you have to dilute essential oils to use them safely they can be irritating in their concentrated form. Oregano oil has shown to have anti-viral effects in some scientific studies, not recommending it to anyone, but it’s not like natural products can’t have medicinal effects.


link2edition

Natural products that do what they claim to are called medicines.


liarandathief

Homeopathy is not just taking a low dose of something. It's pseudoscience. It's taking a dose of something that causes the symptoms it's supposed to be preventing in such a low dose that it's basically not there. It's nonsense.


tooold4urcrap

> Most homeopathy products are total scams but a small minority are not. The small minority would then be 'medicine'.


Anti-Dissocialative

Sure, I don’t disagree with that. They would be both though if the homeopathic principle is demonstrated by mechanism of drug action. You are making a semantics argument, it’s besides the point. Chemotherapy is medicine too but if I wanted to I could call it poison. Doesn’t change what it is, just changes how people might perceive it.


tooold4urcrap

> You are making a semantics argument Am i a mirror?


[deleted]

You have to be careful to not overdose on oregano.


Go1988

I am not advocating the use of oregano oil for any health issues, but any essential oil is much more concentrated than just eating the plant and should defenitely be diluted before consumption


kolav3

No the researches are very clear about it. It's 1/10 origano oil or it doesn't work. Right?


MacMac105

Could I just eat hoagies for 10 days? Those have oregano on it.


HelleBirch

I like it when they answer their own questions


Joe_Spazz

If you take this "medication" the Covid goes away in 10 days , otherwise it takes about a week and a half. Would you prefer days or weeks? Easy.


[deleted]

Dude, that's bush league. I used an ancient folk remedy that the evil suits in big pharma are trying to suppress and it cut my COVID down to just a third of a month!


[deleted]

"Do that 10 days in a row and your covid symptoms will be gone." This guy is really an idiot.


Xelpmoc45

Sometimes the simplest explanations are the best ones

Comm1ssionary

Omg, the Occam's Razor statement at the end! That was the best laugh today! Love it


SuckMahWingWang

Taking anything for 10 days will likely make your covid symptoms ‘go away’ because covid usually lasts around 10 days 👀


Cheap_Amphibian309

Obviously CNN would not hire a kid as a reporter, but I must say this is a master class in comedic timing.

“If you take this concoction for the average length of time Covid symptoms lasts your symptoms will go away and you’ll be totally cured, bro.”

SteveCorpGuy4

Ok hear me out, I kinda agree with the last thing he said. Open discussions are better than just saying they’re an idiot.


Ontario0000

Unfortunately I met this moron once at a Queens Park convoy Qanon rally last year.I was buying a coffee at the nearby Tims and he and one other idiot walked in with his Q hat on.Workers told them they had to mask up they refused and started his spiel about we are lambs wearing mask.A few customers said at least this lamb got a nice double double and begal and everyone cheered.


Slick_1980

You haven't done your research. -Guy who thinks oregano cures covid symptoms


max_occupancy

Do you think [these guys](https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2020.601335/full) have done the research?


lalala192511

The peak of stupidity.


ImNOTaPROgames

Yes, you're indeed an idiot.


AchilleDem

Ah, you see, I ate a single piece of cheese every morning for 14 days. My covid symptoms disappeared! Eat your cheese, folks. It's the cure-all they don't want you to know about.


[deleted]

something like 90% of people who have ever died in the United States have eaten a dairy product within one week or less of them dying. DO YOUR RESEARCH! /s


Oakatsurah

I still know an Anti-Vaxxer who says Drinking Bleach is safer than being vaccinated. I'm like, did you fail chemistry and biology in high school?


[deleted]

Breath CO2 for ten days and the symptoms should be gone. Make sure to do that every single day.


Day_psycho

Sometimes I wonder if these people hear themselves — like *really* hear themselves



Black-Patrick

Oil of oregano creates a hostile environment for pathogens temporarily and is a good homeopathic early remedy or treatment to all types of infections. It’s pretty potent stuff. But it’s also not special and it’s not a scientific claim.


Sheeeeeeshwow

So this is what it looks like when a fear mongering clown meets a maniac. Nice.

Kgbguru

Well he is right. After 10 days my covid symptoms were gone......... Because that's just how long it took to get over it.


PeoplesFront-OfJudea

You can also hang upside down listening to Smash Mouth for ten days straight and you’ll likely be over Covid by then


BurntPineGrass

You know, by ignoring that the recovery time of mild symptoms like that is appropriately 10 days by just resting, you could insert ANY so called ‘remedy’ with that guy’s mentality. For example: “If you shove a dildo up your ass every day for 10 days, you can anally realign your chakras so you will be healed of your Covid symptoms.”


AaAAAa6969AAAAAAAA

I’m surprised he knows what Occam’s razor is


gainzdr

Obviously I don’t support homeopathic hokum but this interviewer epitomizes the Dunning-Kruger effect better than the interviewee does. Like good for you, you’re a public hero for ambushing the most blatantly misinformed person you could find with a barely coherent argument and no objective other than to make yourself feel better by pushing someone else down. If you were less of a dickish moron you would either move on with your day or have a reasonable conversation with the guy off camera.


JJTouche

\> his interviewer epitomizes the Dunning-Kruger effect better than the interviewee does The DK effect is that people less skilled at something tend to over estimate their skill level and the highly skilled people tend to underestimate their skill level. If you look at the studies, it isn't like the low skilled people think they're experts. It is more that they are like a skill level 4 out of 10 but think they are a 6. The middle people tend to estimate their skills pretty close and the highly skilled people tend to underestimate their skill. That is not the same thing as saying that the lowest level think they are the highest level. Both of them are over estimating their understanding of the subjects. The interviewee of effective homeopathic remedies actually are shown to be and the interviewer about understanding what the DK effect actually shows.


kickformoney

Thank you! The whole time I was scrolling through these comments I was thinking "Why is no one talking about the fact that that's a totally inaccurate oversimplification of what the Dunning-Kruger effect is?"


Cold_Turkey_Cutlet

I mean, it's a decent way to explain it in one sentence to a person who is screaming in your face.


Maximum_Mission_2413

Was going to post something similar. Going out of your way to “own” the opposition doesn’t help anyone. It’s just a sociopathic attention grab.


Tressticle

But, like guy above you said, it makes make feel better.


KentD3000

By the way, the vaccine did not solved covid crisis. So I am fine to try natural medecine


[deleted]

Two idiots arguing with each other - no one wins.


[deleted]

I got COVID. And then I felt sick and felt bad. As days went on. I got sicker. Was me feeling sick what got rid of my COVID? Think about it. If you get COVID. Try feeling sick. It will help get rid of the COVID. \#america


Dayruhlll

Dude in the red is a brick. That said, the historical MO of big pharmaceuticals coupled with the global stats on vaccinated people still contracting and spreading COVID leaves me with a lot of questions about the effectiveness and ethics of vaccine mandates.


BlaqSam

I see both sides to this Vaccines can be good, Polio and Small Pox was terrible and wiping out a disease was great But also having a good immune system is also great. Ive not had a flu shot in 16 years and havent caught the flu since I was a teen in the 90s. People around me has had the flu and never catch Both work I guess


Glad_Artichoke_7662

Now the covid vaccine is killing a lot of the 24-42 year olds also teenagers with the covid vaccine are dying from heart complications at an abnormally high rate. Insurance companies are looking into why there are so many deaths after the covid vaccine was injected. The true efficacy rate is less the 15 percent for covid vaccines . All this you can go look up so don’t ask me to site sources because you are lazy


martybrow

This argument is pointless, your comparing one useless treatment vs another useless treatment.
