@Mr_Unstoppable How you feeling today? I had covid twice and both times there were a ton of ups and downs. So hang in there.

āIād gotten the song about a week before and I just pulled from whatever I couldā¦itās crazy because it was my first day with COVID so it was awful to film,ā Ortega revealed during a recent NME interview. āYeah, I woke up and ā itās weird, I never get sick and when I do itās not very bad ā I had the body aches.ā
āI felt like Iād been hit by a car and that a little goblin had been let loose in my throat and was scratching the walls of my esophagus,ā Ortega continued. āThey were giving me medicine between takes because we were waiting on the positive result.ā
Impressive they were able to squeeze so much shooting into 15 minutes.
Welp, Mrs. otatop tested positive today. Iām still somehow testing negative but it looks like my days on team NOVID are numbered.

Not necessarily. Both my brother and I made no attempt to isolate from our positive wives and neither of us got it. Good luck to you both.

Flight to Charlotte. Looks like on the order of 10 masks.
Did you let them know that they shouldnāt Live Their Lives In Fear?
I did think some kid in a stroller was giving me and my mask the stink eye.
When I see someone wearing a mask, I assume they tested positive for COVID.
Thinking about wearing one flying back to America even if I donāt have it just so people stay away from me.

Iāve been flying a tiny fraction of what I did before the pandemic (120 flights in 2019, will be at 22 flights this year). Iām still masking at the airport and during boarding, Iām slightly more relaxed about it onboard once weāre in flight and the air system is blowing (I have one more trip this year to Denver next week). Iāll have a drink and eat peanuts on-board unmasked but Iāll wear it otherwise. I havenāt gotten any āWHY MASKā type derp interactions.
That is a side benefit of wearing a mask. People give you a wide berth a lot of times.
Had a work event last week that apparently was a pozz party. Tested negative this morning and no symptoms so far, but Iām not out of the woods yet.
Just had my first bivalent shot. Hopefully that and last monthās flu shot will combine to keep the nasty bugs away over Christmas.

I got both last week and am super paranoid of catching anything. Between flu, Covid and RSVā¦I donāt want any part of it. On top of that there are albuterol shortages. (Medication used in nebulizers for breathing issues).

for pain, itch and nausea, eventually, even if relief isnāt possible, people curl up, they withdraw into themselves, and they shut down.
But with breathlessness, we stay awake. We fight until our very last gasp.
Xtra Magazine spoke with Abi, a Black disabled trans artist and burlesque performer, on the challenges theyāre facing in the later stages of the pandemic. While many are returning to a state of normalcy, for Abi, the danger never ended.
āItās especially complicated as a dark-skinned Black trans person,ā Abi said.
If someone isnāt willing to wear a mask, that person may be unwilling to respect basic protections from the other kinds of violence queer people face.

lol Daily Fail.
Nah Iāve seen that speculation from reputable sources. It isnāt like the booster doesnāt help, just might be closer to getting another OG booster than quite the infection preventing boost we would like to see with some of the newest variants.
Pretty comfortable with where vax/boosting is at turning acute COVID into a minor thing, long COVID the real question.

Their report says it should be noted that āfoods and packaging considered as part of this study were artificially inoculated with Sars-Cov-2 and therefore are not a reflection of contamination levels found on these foods at retail, and lower levels of contamination will require less time to decline to undetectable levels.ā
The amount of virus they applied was designed to simulate how much might land on food if someone who was infected coughed or sneezed near it, for example, because Covid is spread by respiratory droplets.
For most food products tested there was a āsignificant dropā in the levels of virus over the first 24 hours.
But in some cases traces survived for about a week, the University of Southampton team found.
They picked foods often sold loose at grocery, deli or bakery counters, such as apples, peppers, cheese, ham, olives, crusty bread and croissants.The packaging tested included drink bottles, cartons and cans.
Not that scary (IMO) but formite transmission could be more of a thing - largely discounted here
