Well everyone I tested positive for CoronaVirus

[Jesse]

Oh thanks for asking DirtDawg. Yeah they are both fine now, my mom is in her 60s and niece is in her early 20s. Both sick for about 2 weeks. So thankful they are ok, my mother does have ongoing fatigue though. my taste and smell are about 80% of what they were and Im congested most days like I have a cold but other than that I have some insomnia but I had that before COVID. So all in all dong ok

[DirtDawg]

Good to hear. After effects don't sound pleasant, though. Hope it goes away some day.

They are recommending a booster for us oldsters.  Probably a no-brainer for your age group as well.

I took my normal flu shot last month. I haven't missed one in ten years.
I have a doctor appointment next month. I'll have her test me again like last visit and make the decision after her assessment.

Been away for a bit. Glad you're doing good now Jesse.
Youngest nephew tested positive a few weeks back, than the older one, BIL & SIL followed...and other nephew.

All the nephews had it bad, but none were in the hospital for it, none had the shot. BIL & SIL had mild symptoms (they had the shot).
A friend's husband down the road was on a vent for awhile, but is getting better (no shot).

SO's bartender just tested positive 2 days ago (shot? no clue, SO doesn't feel it's "his" place to ask  ). 

A lot not vaccinated around here and still refusing to do so (including my son) and a lot of crap over masks (I still wear one and get sh*t about it almost everywhere I go). Keeps a large percentage from talking to me also...which is kind of a bonus. 

Don't think it's a question of "if" anymore as much as "when" and who shakes it off the best. Got both shots months back, still have to get the booster yet...the gambling odds seem a little better with it than without.

In my darker moments, I tend to think it should just be allowed to have its course and prune the population. The problem is, the survivors probably won't have learned anything.

My foster son says about corona  'I was promised less people why are there still so many people'

My sentiments exactly!

What did you get for aftereffects?

Ooops. Missed this.

Periodic brain fog, feeling like a stroke was about to happen, difficulty breathing when climbing my hill. Also ENHANCED sense of smell.
But, it all came in waves. Slowly decreased over 2020. I still don't feel 'right' but, I can't tell if it's COVID or just out of shape now.

Oddly, chocolate seemed to help beat it.

History shows this painfully well.

The whole thing makes me hate humanity as a whole. We just seem dispositioned to collective stupidity.

Sadly, I have to agree.  But, then again I am a cynical bastard.

Fixed.

Since you want so badly to start playing.

Go away mr hands

Yet...the outcome of that 'stupidity' may be in humanity's best survival basis. Notably, we are WAY overpopulated.
This little thing ain't gonna be enough - but a powerful sequence of equally stupid seeming moves may be our only way out of the crises we've afflicted ourselves with. Certainly more effective than actual attempts to resolve them through reason are.

It's really not.

We're going to be soon scarce of resources, the environment has been fucked harder than your cat on a Wednesday and instead of doing anything to fix things, humans would rather wallow in misinformation and even fight to ensure our end.

It's all rather depressing to think about.

Humanity is overrated.

If we could manage to fuck up something smaller - like a virus - it could set us back before we can do more real damage.
Unfortunately, Covid was never going to manage that. Fingers crossed for something really nasty.

Humanity is overrated.

All things are.
