taste and smell are coming back ever so slightly! also feel pretty good, excited to be out of quarantine on friday. to be quite honest the peace of mind of knowing i'll have the antibodies makes me less nervous to go to shows once i recover. Still will get the 3rd dose asap tho
Aren't they asking everyone to wait until October for booster shots since there is so much demand for initial shots around the world?
WHO is asking for the US to hold off. But if we wait until the entire world is vaccinated, it will be several years before we get a booster. We can’t wait that long. I know Pfizer and Moderna are going through with getting boosters ready.

I hope J&J is as well. I know they were researching it.

Can you not get a Pfizer or Moderna booster if you've received the J&J shot?

I'm trying to avoid the anti-vaxxer conspiracy lunacy as much as possible right now. I'll pass on a surfbum hot-take.
I think that I'm too angry about all of it. I don't want to get covid, even if I am vaccinated, because I hate being sick and I have enough health problems as it is to add to the mix. So, we're not doing any shows, any crowds, trying our best once again to avoid certain risky situations and I am pretty pissed off about it. I would have loved to gotten back to some sort of normal, and maybe regardless of the unvaccinated, "normal" just wasn't coming back, maybe I had my hopes too high to begin with. I can't afford to be sick either right now. Neither can my husband. We have missed so much work the past year. I already have a slew of medical bills coming due. And I have my elderly parents to look after. Basically, I'm back in 2020 again and I am angry about it but trying to cope.
Also, there is a guy on Facebook documenting his battle with the delta variant from his ICU hospital bed. Yeah, he didn't get vaccinated but he genuinely regrets it. He's showing the world just how bad it can be being really sick with covid and he has been pleading with people to get the shot. He's not angry or stupid. He made a mistake, a terrible mistake, and he has at least tried to do some good before (maybe) dying. He has been doing better the past couple of days, but there for a long while, it didn't look good for him to make it. He had to plan his funeral. He spoke about that in the videos. His name is Travis Campbell. If anyone wants to take a scroll through his timeline. He has convinced many people to get vaccinated. I admire his strength and humbleness. I think that him documenting his decline and giving the world a glimpse into just how terrifying this virus is admirable and more importantly, effective. Many people don't understand what a covid unit in a hospital looks like. Disease is now treated away from homes, unlike in the early 1900's where people were all stuck in a house together with smallpox or the flu and watched each other die. Alot of families had to take care of each other and they could experience it firsthand, unlike nowadays where we just get whisked away to a big hospital, if there are any beds left.
TL:DR I am burn-out on covid again and idiots and I'm also back to staying home.
In my head he’s sitting in his St. Augustine condo furiously armchair typing how this is all a hoax.
I pray I’m wrong but unfortunately, I doubt it.
No, you’re right
I returned home yesterday from seeing my mom. We we’re supposed to see both of my brothers and their families but when I learned they all just got back from Florida and all sick (ITS JUST ALLERGIES!!1!), I said we’ll catch you next time. After being called female anatomy and part of the problem with this country, I came home. I thought a lot about how Surf reminded me of them and why I left in the first place.

Oh, man, I'm sorry. You did the right thing and you know that. But when family can't respect you, it's a different kind of sting.

It wasn’t so much the name calling as it was making me feel like a bad parent keeping my kids away from theirs. With those numbers on the rise, I figured this was a no brainer. Apparently not.
I don’t agree with either one but I respect the right to think how you wanna think. This doesn’t extend both ways.
having unvaccinated kids adds a whole other dimension to the risk calculus, and the wife and I are basically reverting back to where we were in march 2020. one kid is in online school (thankfully, she really excels at it and enjoys it. she misses the social aspect but academically she is able to go at her pace and her computer skills are way better than some adults I work with) and the 4 yo in makeshift pre-school using some home-schooling curriculum and some free educational resources online. we mask up everywhere. it's really disheartening because I was very excited to move back to my hometown, see some old friends and my sisters, and get some socializing outside the house. We are adopting a pretty strict risk averse strategy, but after keeping the kids covid free for 17 months, I'd be devastated if we did something that got them sick now. I can't wait for kids vaccines. My family is very fortunate in our ability to go into a sorta lock down, and I really enjoyed all the time with my kids over the last year that I wouldn't have otherwise gotten; but I'm also so weary of this damn pandemic. Part of it is moving back to the south where people are generally more cavalier in their behavior (or downright hostile to preventive measures - today is the first day of school for lots of places around here, and at a very prominent high school there was a dude with a "thank you for NOT masking" sign right on the corner with a couple of his buddies FFS). it's exhausting that the burden is on the people who are doing the right thing - but I guess that the right thing is often burdensome in general. but this pandemic has really exposed how messed up this whole country is, and has only deepened my cynicism and fear for death by environmental catastrophe.
it's monday and I woke up with anxiety and fear and loathing and i'm ranting. sorry. but i'm just really not feeling it today.
From someone who cannot work from home, has to get regularly tested for work - my mental health about meeting new people is tanking like a weighted fish
Lady I work with who's mom has become an anti-vaxxer was telling me her mom left her house this weekend mad. She was threatening to sell her house and move away, because she fears her daughter (only child at that) will turn her into the government for refusing to get vaccinated. This is a woman in her mid 60's with COPD. She used to be pretty smart and normal. Now she's paranoid and becoming increasingly schizophrenic. Apparently they are setting up camps somewhere to deal with the unvaccinated. Haha. I halfway wish it was true since they're starting to infringe on my rights to live.
I can't get vaccinated. I have hyper allergic reactions to even ALL antibiotics. I suffer from lifelong autoimmune disease which manifests as both rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.But I refuse to take bullshit immunosuppressants.
I turned 50 last summer and got fucked out of celebrating it. I've had long haul symptoms since getting(probable)covid in Feb 2020.
Got out to see two Billy Strings shows in June. Just miracled a buddy with a JRAD ticket, and sold another Billy Strings August ticket that were meant as birthday treats to myself.
But the worst I get of it all is the judgement from both sides. I also don't take bullshit about it from family. So I'm pretty much entirely alone.
Wait, is this not the YAY!!! thread ???

If you have a true medical reason for not getting a vaccine like adverse reactions to most chemicals, than no one here is taking you to task. And neither should your family. It is in fact a point on WHY everyone should be getting vaccinated.
I'm sorry you gotta deal with family shit, and have to take precautions in much more importance than some of us.

I don't think that many people on the left (right) side of history would cut on you for not being vaccinated due to medical issues. We have a guy in our sister department who has been undergoing serious allergy therapy. His doctor told him not to get vaccinated yet because his immunities are compromised. He's in no way an anti-vaxxer and plans to get the vaccine whenever he can. No one here at work has any issue with that whatsoever.

the fact that so many people refuse to vaccinate, to protect people like you, is what is so enraging to me.

I don't feel heat from the people here. And the family thing is not just rona (trump, racism, anti-cannabis ETC). I relayed that more for the sake of getting across the continued isolation and lack of compassion in general. I had a rheumatologist of 25 years who would have been the one who bonified my exception(for whatever that is worth). But she just retired six months ago !! This all just reinforces how shitty people are in general. How little compassion there really is. People will give when their cup runneth over. But they will not sacrifice, generally speaking, for another. LET THE DEAF GO BLIND
