I got notified today that my #5 visit for the Moderna trial is canceled. They are going to reschedule when they can combine the visit with giving me a booster in a couple of weeks. So regardless of what the CDC or FDA says, they are going through with boosters. I go to Mexico in January so I'm willing to get it to feel safer.
So they’ve started letting you make an appointment for a booster here. I’m getting mine tomorrow. I dunno if I need it or if we don’t even really know, but I feel like it can’t hurt. We have had more positives this school year in 21 days, than we did almost all of last year. 😭

So my university allows people to continue working from home if they LIVE with someone who's medically vulnerable to covid (but unvaccinated kids don't count), but if I'm myself medically vulnerable to covid I need it to qualify as a disability under ADA.
Make it make sense.
I really wish I didn't need money/health insurance right now, I would fucking quit.
My mom and my partner’s mom came into town to visit for the first time in years, and I broke out a fever right after they got here. I already went to take a pcr test, but I’m absolutely crushed that I’m now quarantining away from them.
Latest right wing nut job conspiracy theory. That you will need to download a copy of your vaccine card to get you new iPhone 13 to open up. I swear to God the words came out of my sisters mouth.

That's awful. I am going to a wedding on Saturday and will be seeing most of my dad's side of the family for the first time since before the pandemic. I would be super bummed if that suddenly got pulled out from under me.

From a pro vaccine stance sounds like a great way to up the rates lol

How you doing?
My fever is down under 100, but my neck is hella sore (I’m assuming my lymph nodes?) now. Other than that, I feel fine.
The Bills are switching to full vaccination requirements by their fourth home game. One is required before their second and third since they are in the next three weeks. Original Vax card or gov't app only.
It was partially based on a lot of people not wearing masks on the concourses.

That’s good news. Are they still letting Cole Beasley in the stadium?
Here’s some good news to start your morning: California has less Covid-19 transmission than any state in the country.
That’s according to federal officials, who on Wednesday ranked the state’s current coronavirus case rate the lowest in the nation.
Sure, there are mask mandates and other measures to credit, but most deserving of thanks is the Golden State’s high level of vaccinations.
More than 82 percent of Californians aged 12 and older have at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine. Only nine states have more of their populations immunized.
The surge of the Delta variant has been a real-life experiment in the effectiveness of vaccines, one that appears to have helped Gov. Gavin Newsom survive a recall election on Tuesday. For the most part, places with high vaccination rates have been protected from the virus.
And in California, the Delta surge appears to have done something else as well: pushed vaccination rates even higher.
The number of people getting vaccinated here began to stall in June, but then spiked as the Delta variant took hold in late July. Ultimately, about 1.6 million Californians got a first dose of a coronavirus vaccine in August, up from the 1.1 million who did so in July.
It’s difficult to tease out what exactly led to the rise in vaccinations. California has recently mandated vaccines for state employees, teachers and health care workers. There’s also been new evidence of the strong protections the vaccines offer, even against the Delta variant.
Some Californians may have been persuaded to seek out a shot after witnessing first-hand harm wrought by the virus. We’ve all heard stories of people hospitalized with Covid-19, struggling to breathe, and wishing they had gotten the vaccine.
Since early August, the biggest rise in vaccinations in California has been in the San Joaquin Valley, the Sacramento region and far Northern California — parts of the state that have recently been hardest hit by coronavirus cases.
Those regions had low vaccination rates to begin with, so they admittedly had more room to increase. But it’s likely that some people were also influenced by seeing overwhelmed hospitals in their communities.
“The question is: What gets you to make a different decision today than you’ve made the last few months?” said UCSF epidemiologist Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo. “I think fear is somewhat of a motivator, unfortunately.”
Bibbins-Domingo told me she thinks that social pressure, community outreach and availability of the shots also play a role in who gets vaccinated. The coming months will reveal which strategies work best as California health officials try to encourage holdouts to get immunized.
The Delta variant is too contagious to wipe out, even in communities with high vaccination rates, Bibbins-Domingo said. But the shots will remain an essential part of minimizing future surges.
“It all starts and ends with vaccination. It doesn’t mean once you cross some magical threshold, the virus magically disappears,” she told me. “How many people are vaccinated — it’s like how many barriers can you put up to withstand the onslaught.”
I also found this interesting. sorry for the politics.

I’ve been sick since last Wednesday. Took a covid test on Sunday that came back negative on Monday. Went to the urgent care on Tuesday because I felt like it was getting worse. The doc there said it’s a sinus infection that was working on becoming bronchitis and put me on an antibiotic, a couple steroids, and a cough suppressant (that doesn’t work at all). I’m still coughing a lot and congested, but I feel much better overall (probably because of the steroids). But as of yesterday, I’ve lost my senses of smell and taste. Apparently that can also happen with a sinus infection, but of course now I’m worried that my negative result was wrong.

I know a few people that are currently dealing with bronchitis, I hope that is all it is. Feel better soon.

A lot of fans were calling into local radio about it like they'd found a loophole and different rules couldn't possibly apply to players than fans.

I realize this is anecdotal, but I saw a LOT of folks coming out of Lollapalooza, and now Electric Zoo, talking about getting hit hard by some sort of respiratory infection and then testing negative for COVID over and over. I'm not versed enough in science to understand whether what we've all been through the past year, all the NPIs, etc., have made us more susceptible to non-COVID infections of any sort, but you're certainly far from alone in your story, and it does make me wonder.
good for him for speaking out about this. But it’s also good that he didn’t have a career-ending hereditary condition, like getting decapitated by a telephone pole after sticking your head out a car window.

There is a pretty rough strain of the "common cold" going around various parts of the country, which began popping up here locally in SoCal the past 2-3 weeks.
I came down with it this past Monday night, got tested on Tuesday for COVID (results came back negative), and am now back in my office today running at about 75-80%...Which is good enough for me to catch up on paperwork with my office door closed, masked up, and staying away from others.
Crazy that after 18 months, I just now finally had to take a COVID Test. The lady really jabbed it up my right nostril, which totally sucks when you have a cold, cuz I then sneezed like 30 times in a row LOL.
Anyways, just wanted to share this info with y'all. Lots of us out there in weeks to come will probably come down with this, but don't be alarmed, just follow the current advisements out there to get tested and check with your doctor to get checked up.

*Cries in literally a couple dozen COVID tests over the past year and a half.*

I felt this in my bones, especially since I get tested twice a week for work.

I felt it in a different way bc I recently had a guy i work with test positive. He's probably top three of people i know who have been ultra cautious over the pandemic. Just makes me feel hopeless that we're all gonna get it eventually.

on the bright side though at least its super mild in breakthrough cases, speaking from experience at least

Well I still (to the best of my knowledge) haven't got infected with it...Nor has anybody in my immediate family. Only one who got it was my mother-in-law last November, and thankfully she bounced back after being in bed with flu-like symptoms for a week. We've been very luck it seems, but also doing out part to mask up, not put ourselves in risky situations, etc.
