So coronavirus is definitely going to kill a few of us.

yup its been wild to see people who proclaim themselves to be compassionate, tolerant, open minded people going full on into supporting authoritarian measures and yet convincing themselves that they are the good guys

fortunately i dont associate with anyone like this in the real world but the worrying thing is that there are loads of people like that out there who were so quick to go down that road or segregation and demonization but pretending they were doing the right thing

- I do not have any symptoms. It is likely he's not very contagious anymore, so I probably dodged it. It is likely the booster protected me, but there's the possibility that he just wasn't transmitting much.

Not trolling, so please don't take it this way, but are you walking around with a mask in your house?

also we really need todge to give us an answer so we can figure out how far gone he is

im going with whole house wearing masks and ben quarantined to his room with all his meals left outside his door

:lol2

Pretty much all my friend/family have gotten Covid the last month or so. Various stages of fully vaccinated plus booster all the way to unvaccinated. All mild. Not one serious case. Shrug.

Wanna hear a funny joke?
Pooh knows more about viruses and the proper response to this deadly pandemic than the CDC WHO and the NIH. So much so he's berating people following their advice haha.

No masks in my house. Ever.

Kinda stayed away from Ben the same way I would if he had a cold, but not to an extreme. Ate dinner with him a few feet away every night. Starting yesterday I decided it had been long enough and I'm back to acting like he doesn't have it, even though there are lingering symptoms.

He's returning to school tomorrow. Policy is you can return 11 days after the start of symptoms, so since his began on 1/9, he's coming BACK.

The last we heard from Khalwat was very un-Khalwat to say the least. Essentially there's been silence for a week. I rarely agree with Khalwat re c19 but do like to hear what he has to say. At some point there will be a mea culpa one has to assume?

Pooh has common sense. Something these organizations are lacking in from time to time. CDC and WHO are at odds about masking kids, no? Plus, who can trust an organization taking its cues from the United Federation of Teachers? Also, these organizations are slow to react. There should be guidance already to lift all restrictions, end any vaccine mandate, normalize the schools and to stop testing people who are not sick and to stop forcing these tests on children in schools who are also not sick. Common sense eventually has to prevail as it has in England already. I like it that Pooh has the confidence to say what he believes is right and wrong. There are far too few people and organizations speaking up for and defending the children of blue states who are suffering terribly under the weight of the punishments/abuses inflicted upon them by those who are supposed to stand up for them. There is nothing funny about child abuse so, please, Pooh, don't stop.

I’ve always wondered why you stay in California druff? I suppose there may be personal ties but it seems you would be much more at ease living in Florida.

hopefully he is taking some time off to reconsider some of the choices he has been making over the past few years

its hard to admit when you get something wrong but if he ever wants to get his old life back then that is the first step on fixing himself

Yes, there are ties to the area. I'm not leaving any time soon.

Yeah. I have similar issue. I can rant and rave about Los Angeles county all I want, but my wife’s family is all here and my wife doesn’t want to move, so going nowhere.

Ironically, my extended family who are all Democrats and all from the LA area have all left or are planning to leave. So they have basically been displaced by the policies they support that have squeezed the middle class out.

And they will most likely continue voting Dem in the red/purple areas they moved to, to the same result.

Speaking of California. I heard part of Biden’s speech in the car yesterday. In it Biden referenced the domestic issues Putin is contending with. Amongst them he mentioned the fires in Siberia and how the tundra will never refreeze. Made the California fires sound like no big deal.

The Siberian fire is larger than all other fires collectively. The Siberian fire will be the largest fire in humankind. It produces more carbon dioxide than England.

I had never heard of this fire before

What became of the Mets lovin kid who worked in Russia? Never heard from him during Covid? Russia is pretty fucked up from Covid economically. It explains Ukraine almost completely. Nothing like war to resurrect ones political image. Strategy as old as humankind too.

My kid caught it too…has to be out of school for 10 days.

Basically was tired for 2 days, still has a sporadic cough and nose congestion. He hangs out in the upstairs game room on his computer.

Other kid headed back to college tomorrow so he had to get tested today. Fun stuff.

Everyone I know is sick. It’s kicking our ass at work. Employees dating each other and stuff. Funny see the two employees sleeping with each other both out. Fun way to burn your personal time days.

I know 2 people in the hospital. One has blood clots in lungs. He is a tech consultant type and has some kind of Obamacare/ Mass Health thing happening for insurance. He’s gotta wish he died when the bills roll in.

Wife is friends with a medical coder. This girl works endless overtime. She has developed a pinched nerve in her neck from being hunched over her computer every waking hour of her life billing people.

I finally got my booster yesterday at a CVS. Sore arm today is all. I pretty much flipped a coin. I don’t think it matters much with Omicron. I could have waited to see if the next strain is more serious but whatever. I’ve done far worse stuff to my body

FYI the kid in Russia is Mr. Tickle, and he's fine. He's still around here sporadically, and I believe he still listens to radio.
