Wife did the double FluVid Friday. She's still not feeling all that great, but functional. I tried Wednesday but only got Flu. Covid scheduled next Saturday.. Daughter went back to work today... masked. She'll wear it through tomorrow, 10 days from her + test.
Got the Pfizer updated COVID shot today. Went for my regular Saturday hike after getting the shot and felt good. Seeing a lot of people wearing masks around here these days. Mostly elderly.
Cases are spiking here. Wastewater samples are testing very high. Hospital cases are also up. I'm assuming that the increase in younger people wearing masks is folks like my daughter who got it and are following the current guidelines to wear a mask for 5 days when going out and about after symptoms fade. Or, at least wearing a mask if they know/suspect they have it regardless of if they still have symptoms and decide to go out anyway.0Quote:

Proning- my phone tried to switch it to probing, too;)Quote:

Small N=15 anecdote
montreal and nyc hospitals are both masked now.
and yet the govt of states like florida continues to spread covid lies and recommend against vaccines.
it also seems like the data collection is basically gone. they had to rip the band aid off at some point but another year of data could have been nice.
Thanks. Agree that we're in it all the time at this point, and testing has taken on a different role.Quote:

I spent 2 days in the car with my boss who was coughing and sick and later told me he had tested + for corona. Luckily I'm unvaccinated and didn't get sick at all.

Most people don't convert after 5 days post expsoure with the latest variants. But a few do.Quote:

Where is Bill Gates Nobel Prize huh? That shit is way more impressive.
They interviewed a scientist on the radio who said that research was already done and so they knocked out a covid profile in about an hr
are you sure it wasn't just cuz they hated liberals enough to die for the cause ?Quote:
