Covid 2023

[rufus]

Life expectancy up in the US by roughly a year for 2022, after two years of decline.

Why oh why could that be?

Still lower than pre-pandemic.

After covid I was diagnosed with diabetes. It’s been tough, but managing my weight has become a crucial part of my routine. Recently, I started using Wegovy, and it's really helped me get my weight under control. You can buy wegovy online, but be sure to consult your doctor first.

Interviewed for a hospital job this morning.

While they no longer mandate the COVID vaccine, they're big on masking up.

What kind of job?

 

[MissThundercat]

"Environmental Services."

Cleaning stuff, handling medical waste, etc.

It’s effective at more than just covid, so keeping workers healthy in a place where there are a bunch of sick people makes sense.

Staff member at my new job caught COVID (Developmentally Disabled residential treatment).

Unit Supervisor walked in yesterday, handed us all a very good 3M mask, and said they're mandatory until the person in question comes back clear.

 

[MissThundercat]

My employer has a mandatory mask policy. Yet Chuckles and Jebbers must be working here, because we have staff refusing to wear them and crying "muh freedumb!"

Covid still blows. On at least day 3. No appetite, too tired to do anything.

I need to see when the new booster is released. I’d like to wait for it; I know it’s this month, but just a matter of when.

As DGF mentioned, already out. CVS had it this week. I think Walgreens and others got it this week or maybe next?

That really sucks! We were so nervous coming back from the tourist stuff that we got it there just in time to get boosted.

So far so good.

 

[MissThundercat]

Just had a positive test.

Between living in a petri dish and working in a petri dish, I am honestly not surprised.

I guess the plan is lots of fluids, rest, and stay away from other people.
