Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

Got the Moderna bivalent and a flu shot a couple hours ago. Told my fiance to get hers soon as well. Figured it was a good idea before the wedding next month and what I am calling a "mini-moon" - a week in St. Simons Island and Savannah as we plan and prepare for some more ambitious trips over the next year. I know we will have a few unjabbed in attendance for our outdoor wedding & reception (a couple for legit reasons and a couple by choice), and while I loved my last trip to Savannah I'm sure we'll be bathing in woo woo and derp in coastal Georgia.

I think this was the first jab where I felt off the next day, beyond just the usual upper arm soreness. Malaise, lack of much appetite, a bit of nausea & headache. In fact, it reminded me of having the mild case of COVID that I had back in late Jan / early Feb.

I'm about 95% recovered, just some lingering lung tightness and the resulting cough, but my god I get winded and breathless from almost anything.

I hope it goes away quickly for you, I dealt with that for months.

I got EB back in 2019, let me tell you, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Liver numbers were shot, my spleen was swollen to the size of my liver, I turned yellow, I couldn't sleep because my liver enzymes were causing my entire body to itch from the inside, even though I was constantly exhausted. I lost almost 15 lbs because I couldn't eat. It's a ****ing nightmare as an adult.

In tragic news, a 12 year old in my neighborhood apparently got EB virus and it triggered guillen barre. They apparently have a lot of permanent nerve damage and may not be able to walk again.

this is why I was so freaked when ER docs thought I might have had GB when I first had Covid

Seconded on both accounts.

ETA: And my sense of smell is still about 30%.

Tested negative this morning, its either Covid or a cold. Sore throat, not awful but doesn't feel normal, little cough, runny nose. Will test again tomorrow. Got boosted a few weeks ago.

The perfect example of the morons we are dealing with:

Washington was wrong, we survived faction. What we may not survive is the non-overlapping division of the political parties by intelligence.

Good luck to you. Even the watered down version of Covid I as tripe vaxed was unpleasant, though luckily with no persistence.

Got my flu shot yesterday and they offered me the Covid bivalent thing too, so I got it. Sore shoulder but no other negative response so far.

I just got back from a conference in The Land Where COVID Never Existed - Florida. About a week before the conference, the organization running the conference sent an email to everyone that you had to upload proof of vaccination through the Clear app or proof of a negative PCR test before even getting there and that everyone at the conference, especially the exhibit hall, should wear a KN95 mask and they would provide them if needed.

So I get there and go to register and not one member of the conference staff is wearing one. In fact probably only 10-15% of people in the exhibit hall were wearing one. I wore mine the entire time. Once the post conference survey comes out, I’m going to ask why they even bothered sending that email out if they weren’t going to enforce it. Or have their own people wear them.

Almost no one in Europe* is wearing one. Maybe 15%.

*sampling of those who went through customs and the various languages I overheard :-P

but really just Scotland and Amsterdam

Getting my 3rd booster on Mon. Gf got hers on Fri; sore arm, extremely tired, but just a little soreness today. Waiting for the subway Fri a guy walks by and asks how come your wearing a mask. I said 'cause your not.

[Kepler]

Dr. Mrs got hers and it knocked her on her a-ss.
