I think aches and pain have been know symptoms since February 2020, I’m not sure why back pain wouldn’t be on the menu.

makes more sense why the peds office doesn’t have it then. might have to drive an hour for a new doc
More yard signs calling for the school board to cancel the mask mandate.
Would be nice if we had the little kid dose figured out first. Idk why they just didn’t get the two dose regime approved and then add a third dose later on if it’s more effective.
I guess as society or even as a world we’ve decided to damn the vulnerable and those wo access. I’m fine with the morons getting sick but damn it sucks we don’t collectively give a fuck about anyone else.
And of course this is going to breed something that’s worse. Given infinite replications and time something with the worst of delta and omicron will emerge or something even worse than thst.

And there’s no chance of lockdowns or vaccine mandates unless the right 1/3 of the country wants them.
This is exactly where I’m at with them
Same. We’re pretty much at peak omicron in Norway now, and health officials have calculated that 3-4 million out of 5.3 will contract covid without severe restrictions - so yesterday, all measures were removed (as in other comparable countries like Denmark, the UK etc). People are encouraged to stay home with a positive test (but tests are no longer mandatory either), but it’s not obligatory.
Numbers are encouraging and not expected to get worse. Comparable numbers in the US would be around 1.2 million infected daily and ~250 daily deaths. Hospitalization rates have kept steady or declined a bit compared to the top of the delta wave, which was mid-december or so (red = admitted, blue = intensive care, purple = ventilated).
I realize most people ITT won’t care much about whatever happens in bumfuck Norway, feel free to ignore.

The guy on the left is bragging about being uncircumcised?
I had my vaccine antibody levels tested this week for the study I am in. Will be interesting to see how the result compares to just after the booster as I am now 5 months out. Planning to get a 4th shot in the next few weeks.
Got my socialism tests from the USPS yesterday. Ordered minutes after the site went live.
And lastly, covid is over in PA. Philly casino mask and vax mandates are effectively over. Probably about 30% mask wearing yesterday.

Yeah, hearing from people across the world adds a lot of value to the UP experience.

The anti school mask mandate signs say “my kid my choice” and the mask on the sign looks a bit like a uterus with Fallopian tubes from a certain angle.
Some states also made it legal to run over protesters, if that counts.
“Can’t believe there’s a global pandemic normalizing working from home and I still have to drive 30 minutes into the office to sit at a desk and work on a computer!

yeah unless you had the knight bus you couldn’t do that through the traffic over the RFK or whitstone bridge. I could just set the cruise control to 90 and cruise by the empty cop cars they left as a deterrent.
