what do you think this possibly means? it doesn’t really mean anything tbh (endemic diseases can be in everyone or few, have severe effects or none), and covid isn’t at some sort of stage where it’s not coming in waves or whatever.
By “endemic” I mean that hospitalizations and deaths will stay fairly low despite COVID remaining a constant presence with episodic waves…and few-to-no mandated restrictions.
I think it’s too soon to count that chicken.
At this point, I’m still wearing a mask around others, but I’m getting less irritated at people who aren’t wearing them. I can understand that after 2 years and with fairly low death/hospitalization rates that many people want to work and play around others without needing to wear masks anymore.

Eating at a Restaurant or going to a bar are things you don’t really have to do. Taking a plane trip is less so, easy as that for me.

speaking of travel restrictions
3 weeks ago they were only lifted for EU member states
Completely agree that we need to hold off on endemic. There are still a shit ton of cases worldwide and huge maths behind generation of more mutants.
If I had to guess we’ll get another nasty surprise from this thing later in the year. And I’m just hoping it’s not earlier.
Second day after. Absolutely nothing. The second jab wrecked me so I was expecting something similar. But I’ll take it.

Are you sure you didn’t go to the Itsjustsaline clinic?

I don’t think this is actually endemic but I’m not 100% sure.
Whether it’s endemic or not really depends on your definition, and I’ve seen different definitions thrown around. For example, this one seems to be in line with what a lot of people mean when they say it, but it wouldn’t surprise me if others said there is something technically incorrect about it:
We, the United Corporate States of America, and we, the average folks of America, don’t want to track spread or variants because we don’t want to have to take any preventative measures. Give us in-person workers and Applebee’s or give us death!
Would a saline injection cause a sore arm? That’s about all I experienced this time around.
Moderna booster didn’t hit me as hard as the first two JNJ shots.
Did sleep absolutely horribly last night though.
No idea. Just making a joke, not sure about a saline poke.

2 Pfizer shots, never felt a thing. 1st Pfizer booster I had a little welt in my arm where the shot went in. Moderna booster I just got created a bigger welt. But that’s it as far as symptoms for me.
Not saline specifically, but a factor in injection site pain is injection technique. You could have a bit more or less soreness depending on how the injection was given regardless of what is in it. There is enough minor variation in technique among people who administer shots that different amounts of soreness should not be too surprising.
For example. This is gonna hurt regardless of what’s in the syringes.
Name that movie
Its that dog movie. Beethoven?
Your had to be a parent or child when that came out. My older boys were 8, 7 and 4.
