My union (state employee) negotiated a $1000 bonus for anyone that took the bivalent booster.
THATāS SOCIALISM!
Probably a worthless, meaningless anecdote but when I went grocery shopping yesterday I noticed more mask wearers than what Iāve been seeing lately. It was noticeable enough that the thought that people must know people getting sick crept into my mind.
I just assume they have Covid or just getting over it. If itās a worker who I have never witnessed wearing a mask before I stay clear of them.
And your point? cities massively dominate the county they are in.
Iāve been going to a hospital 2x a week for physical therapy for like the last 6 weeks. They recently made masks optional about 2 weeks ago and almost no one is wearing them anymore.
I went to a hospital lab today, and the phlebotomist wasnāt masked, although I was.
Gonna be honest. I did think of covid for the first time in a long while when I started coughing and having perceived allergy issues a few days ago.
Turns out that itās probably just having a fan blowing directly on me as I sleep at night is drying me out. Because Iām fine all of a sudden that Iām sleeping elsewhere.
Definite uptick in the US too.
I lived in South Korea when I first heard of it and laughed in a womanās face when she said it thinking that she was joking.
She wasnāt.
Apparently itās okay so long as you keep a window open.
Itās been a while since Iāve read a good article about COVID but this one from Canadaās national broadcaster is a good summary of where weāre at. Itās not super in depth or anything but answered, for example, my recent question about if we should be getting another round of vaccines soon.
Spotted this one today. Stupid anti-vaxxers.
Yikes. My daughter got her first vax in March 2021, baby born in April. I did not know about the stillbirth thing. Glad she and her obstetrician went ahead, though her odds of catching Covid then were close to zero. They had a very small, very careful pod. I had to drive 8 hours to get my shots in Ohio so I could meet the baby after she was born.
Has had another since. Normal number of fingers and toes on both. The 5G at their house is fantastic.
My wife had a miscarriage at 4 months, 2 weeks after getting her booster. She had a subchorionic hemorrhage 2 days after the booster.

Iām sorry
Thatās terrible, Iām sorry.
