COVID19: Opinion and Discussion

[mputnal]

Definitely worth knowing:

Booster shots are instrumental in protecting against Omicron, new C.D.C. data suggest.

I don't see a problem with repeated shots. It's a minor nuisance.

Probably going to see annual booster shots for Covid.

I feel almost certain of that. I'll bet for now 6 months is more likely. The amounts they give you for the Moderna vaccine are much smaller than the initial 2 doses. There was no reaction at all to the booster except for sore arm.

This will a little off topic, but somewhat still relevant. Well, Meatloaf died today. He was quite a humorous guy, and a philosopher of sorts. He died of Covid, but that's not my point. For quite a while now, I have realized that there are just more and more celebrities in our lives; more than there ever was before. Back in the day there was Elvis, Marylyn , and Paul Newman. (Maybe a couple more). Media being such a huge part of our lives now, there are practically Billions of them ! (even if you don't count Snoop Dog.) My real point is, all these celebrities, that we have known and loved, will begin to die at ever increasing rates. This week it was Betty White, Meatloaf, Sam Kinneston, but there will probably be days when you might hear about two or three in one day. I'm not trying to be a downer: it's just a matter of ever-increasing numbers, and we will have to get "use to it".

I think focusing on my own mortality will dwarf any concerns about these aging celebrities.

True dat, but I like to lean on some of these guys for inspiration… (not Kinneston…ha,ha,ha)

Somehow you both have your heads buried in the sand. Ya'll need to get out and listen to your neighbors. Maybe stop talking and complaining and do something constructive.

Look who’s talking about heads in the sand. Look in the mirror and meet the one who constantly complains we don’t sympathize with the willfully ignorant aka the ones who believe Jan 6 was either a trump fan tourist excursion or a BLM/Antifa riot and vaccines are bad.

Did I ask you to sympathize? NO I did not. I suggest you stop complaining and do something for the party that still believes in Democracy...
