The fat's in the fire now boy-o.
Without going into the details these past few days have been a real dogfight revolving around elder care. Amazing how some people literally live in quaking fear over this foolishness. Got the goddamned TV on all day amping it up. Afraid you got it? Why not just run to a place where a whole lot of other sick people who think they have it are so you can confirm that you do or don't have it and might anyway after your visit so the test was pointless..... and round and round we go. Norman, coordinate please. Meanwhile, the one friend I know of and his family - completely unvaccinated - got it and were fine in maybe two days. Like a bad cold, no real fever he said.
Meanwhile, on the 20th we get our Moderna booster. Why ? Other than needing to prove to the Gestapo that I am 'fully vaccinated and up to date' (because mincing words helps) we wouldn't bother. In fact, I object. But from a practical level, we might very well have to go to a hospital or other facility Manhattan and you ain't getting in without it. And no, while I suppose it's possible we're not worried about the stupid shots other than the immediate short term effects. They didn't faze me one bit but my wife got sick afterwards both times and probably will with the third.
Maybe they'll finally be satisfied when they have enough of us puking.
