Got my booster yesterday and I feel like hammered shit today

That sucks, Ben. I hope Kathy makes a quick recovery. Omicron may not be the most deadly of the variants so far, but it's contagious as fuck and no fun to get even if it doesn't kill ya.

For reasons I don't totally understand and which may not be completely rational at this point, I basically have kept to my 2021 COVID lifestyle and routine even after I got vaccinated. I still do all my grocery shopping online. If I have to go out -- and I hardly ever HAVE to go out -- I still always mask up. I'm starting to think I'm using my house as a womb replacement and that there might be a Vega from Street Fighter thing going on with the masks, but on the other hand the disease is still making lots of people sick and killing people. Sure, I might be crazy, but it's a socially responsible sort of crazy dammit.

My wife felt like crap yesterday. "I think I got COVID!" she joked. We joke about it a lot, any time either of us coughs or sneezes.

Took the home test today.

She got COVID! We're all gonna die!

In bed for a week!

I would have agreed to ALL of this for just the flu. Take COVID out, if lockdowns and masks meant that I wouldn't get any colds or influenza, then great, I'm in.

My buddy, the anti-vax, anti-mask guy had covid. Funny how he never mentioned it to me. We were supposed to hang out this weekend but he called it off because his wife tested positive. I called him back and in our conversation he said he had it a couple weeks ago.. Nothing bad happened, thank god, but it could have. The covid put him in bed for a week but that's all. Dont know about any long term problems yet. I think he was a little embarrassed to admit he caught the virus

I got a booster shot on Tuesday. I would say I felt weird until about 3 hours ago. Slept pretty well Tuesday and Wednesday night, not gonna lie there.

Ha yeah "Military World Games" almost sounds like cheap shovel-ware game released for the Nintendo Wii, but is a thing since the mid 1990s.

This video is an hour long and as Paul pointed out is made by Sky News; so I skipped around.. but I liked what this Miles Yu dude said at 33:20.

This looks very interesting. I had no idea there was an iinternational athletic competition (similar to the Olympics) called the Military World Games. They are held every four years, starting in 1995. The event is shown in a stadium where tens of thousands of spectators watch. The 2019 Military World Games were held from October 18–27, 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei, China. GIven that this was just a couple months before things got bad, could this be what caused the outbreak? We'll see.

Be aware, this is from Sky News Australia, which I believe was started by Rupert Murdoch, who later founded the FOX network, so be aware of their potential biases. But, the point is still valid: could this have been the superspreader event that caused this worldwide pandemic?

At 120$ a pound, I do not recommend stabbing the fish at all!

Re: Coronavirus Adventures

Where do I stab the fish with the pen?

Re: Coronavirus Adventures

Epi-pen. Solved.

You'd have a greater chance of catching botulism from fish thawed in the shrinkwrap!

At some point isn't it easier to get the shot than to have all these people keep giving you COVID-19?
I explained the personal at risk of shock thing before, brother. No it is not! That shit was mad scarier.
I am genuinely asking, not giving you a hard time:

There's three independently-developed vaccines. Fourth if you want to count "Sputnik." All four of them are going to put you into anaphylactic shock?

This is what the CDC site says about allergic reactions:
Anaphylaxis after COVID-19 vaccination is rare and has occurred in approximately 2 to 5 people per million vaccinated in the United States. Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur after any vaccination. If this occurs, vaccination providers can effectively and immediately treat the reaction. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
So a person has a greater chance making the active roster of an NFL football team than experiencing an allergic reaction. Granted, with how the kicking has been in the NFL this season I'd bump that up a bit, but still. It sounds like the odds of a reaction are statistically zero (which is why they have us wait 15 minutes after getting it) but if something does happen, they have a cure for that. If this is a "price of salmon" thing and I have it wrong, I am genuinely open to knowing so.

Mrs AA has moved into the spare bedroom for ten days and the bathroom is wiped down more times a day than your average two year old baby. If they dont call me by Sunday night Im going into work. I only had to wait two hours to get my 30 second covid test so I feel like a winner.
How it going????
