not that anyone cares anymore but looks like everyone in washington dc has covid right now

I remain really curious whether endemic coronaviruses circulate twice a year or not. Itā€™s theoretically possible that they do, but higher vitamin D levels and stronger immune systems make them asymptomatic infections in the spring/summer.

This seems like a huge thing to figure out as we see where covid-19 is headed, and experience new surges.

Getting it to a point of once a year seasonality is huge for annual boosting.

Hey @CaffeineNeeded Iā€™ve seen a few doctors on Twitter allude to a trademark ā€œCOVID coughā€ and you may have mentioned it in here too.

Is it a really dry, harsh cough? Dealer at my table is hacking away.

I have a feeling itā€™s going around here. A player is sneezing, sniffling, sweating and coughing.

N95 ftw.

If itā€™s really that bad, Iā€™d consider racking up. Yeah, I know that N95 + vax really limits your downside, but Iā€™d still rather not get it.

Yeah I considered it, but Iā€™m just not pulling the mask down to drink instead. I took too much time off dodging Omicron and frankly canā€™t afford to not get my hours in. This is America, after all.

Iā€™m wearing a full N95 though, not even a KN, and itā€™s a 3M not a cheaper brand.

probably bullshit imo, but i havenā€™t looked into it at all

China cases are continuing to spike despite locking down all of Shanghai. 7DMA has tripled over the last week, to around 18k. Weirdly, they donā€™t seem to be reporting any deaths at all from this wave, which seemsā€¦ odd.

Chinaā€™s numbers have never made any sense.

From the side effects anecdote department: my 90yo dad just got his 2nd booster this week, and itā€™s the first time he had any side effects whatsoever, achy and fatigued for about 24 hours. All 4 shots were Pfizer.

Iā€™m 50 and eligible to get my 4th shot next month, and similarly have felt nothing from my previous 3, so Iā€™m curious to see what happens.

Iā€™m 49 and itā€™s been six months since my third shot. 4th shot now or nah?

Are you eligible? I thought it was 50+.

(I have no idea how strictly that is enforced)

Not at all afaik.

Iā€™d say itā€™s pretty close to not at all, but not quite not at all.

If you are completely forthright and donā€™t omit any details of your medical and vaccination history on online or in person questionnaires, there is a decent chance that you will be turned away if you donā€™t meet criteria. Even then itā€™s not a lock, though.

So they may enforce based on what you tell them, but they donā€™t really check what you tell them.

High school associate who is boosted just tested positive. Apparently got it at school dance.

China is basically doing the thing that all the derpers in the US think our government is doing.

Theyā€™re just playing Calvinball with the numbers at this point. One serious case out of 130,000 infected? Ya, ok.
