dude it was a horror show. people sniffling and coughing everywhere and trying to hide it but very obviously ill
if i actually dont have it, these vaccines are nuts
Always remember there are a TON of respiratory viruses. So much so that even at the height of a covid surge yourâe probably more likely to have something other than covid than covid if you have respiratory symptoms.
I feel like Iâve heard from people, either in person or on Twitter, about testing negative but having a severe cold. Not sure where though. How much of other sickness is going around is obscured by the deniers who insist they donât have it.
Exactly what I had in March when it wasnât covid.
In the end, the virus I had in March that wasnât COVID was worse than the actual COVID I had in early May.
This makes sense if yourâe vaccinated/boosted against covid. Flu for example is a really rough thing ot get, especially if you get it in June and your last flu shot was in September.
I didnt get a flu shot rip
That was a leak. Might be worth trying to get to a walk in and getting yourself tested so that maybe you can get tamiflu in time to make a difference? Although it may already be too late for tamiflu depending on when your symptoms started.
yea i dont know why i skipped this year and only just realized it. i always got the flu vaccine in the past.
dayquilâs doin ok with the fever, not too bad
Thereâs no reason to think the flu was any less present in Vegas than was COVID.
your story sounds like all the flu Iâve been seeing. gl.
This much flu this late in June is abnormal, right?
Yup. Flu, RSV are both in play right now. Itâs fucking annoying as fuck. June is usually a pretty slow month, but these viral illnesses are making us work a lot more than usual.

Couple of questions:
- Anyone considering a 5th jab? If so, why? If not, why not?
- Whatâs the projection for when Omicron-specific jabs will be available?
Omicron-specific Moderna boosters are allegedly going to be ready for the fall surge. I plan on getting a 5th jab then.
Have you had COVID? Does that change the decision at all for you?
So with pediatric vaccines available for everyone, the new âWHY THE FUCK ISNâT THIS DONE YET?â is going to be strain specific vaccination.
Moderna appears to be in the lead.
Iâve cooled on a fourth shot. Evidence just isnât there. Wouldnât do a fifth.
Anyone with 5-11 kids who got Pfizer boosting them with Moderna instead. If Iâve got my facts straight, I donât think it is in line with recommendations to do this, so Iâm going to have to prevaricate a bit to do it (which Iâm OK with).
I guess itâs been 6 months since my booster, so I could get a 4th, but I may not bother until the updated Moderna one.
Would you act differently if you didnât just get COVID?
how common are false negatives? I got 3 rapid antigen kits and planned on testing monday/tuesday as well
