Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

I don't think so. Nobody could be THAT influenced by Donald Trump. Who hasn't been in office for well over a year now. He is nobody, truly, and if people haven't moved on from Trump by now, they're just...inexplicable and un-explainable. People are making up their own damn minds at this point. And they're making up their minds to be stubborn and stupid and unreasonable -- for no discernible reason. The reasoning now must be more along the lines of what Hermes contends.

I'm just really glad these people weren't around (I presume) when the vaccines for polio and all the other diseases we now have protection against were being developed and starting to be used. Honestly, how idiotic can people be?

And all these unvaccinated people who are dying and becoming ill? It's really just sad, and so unnecessary -- even more so than many of the earlier deaths, because some of those were always going to occur -- were going to have to happen - over the course of a pandemic like this one, and developing defenses against it.

 

Whoa. That's an actually criminal act when it comes to something like this.

 

Anyone here had COVID since they've been vaxxed. Someone I was in proximity with for a few hours Saturday was diagnosed with it today. She said it was a cold, but was concerned and told me today she and her husband were "official." So I'm getting tested tomorrow. Other than some occasional sneezes in the past couple of days I feel fine, but wanted to know if I should be on the lookout for anything.

 

Getting tested is excellent, but the percentages say that 1. You don't have it. 2. If you do, you're asymptomatic. For those of us with serious pollen allergies, it's a bitch. I've had sneezing and coughing fits every spring and late summer all my life but now when it happens, people jump and I don't blame 'em.

 

I’ve taken to telling people after I cough if it’s from liquid going down the wrong pipe. It’s got to be much tougher to convince people if you have allergies.

I now open my shirt collar and sneeze into my chest if I sneeze in public. It doesn’t do anything but it at least shows effort, my weird brain tells itself.

 

We’re soon approaching the time after kids are vaccinated where the onus will be on the unvaccinated and I won’t worry about being tested for near-asymptomatic Covid. Once the kids can be vaxxed, I’ll treat it like the flu, stay home if symptomatic and let God sort out the unvaccinated.

We’d already be there if the idiots had all been vaccinated six months ago.

 

But that's the thing that's weird, if people can still get and transmit it if they are vaxxed, but are advised not to get tested unless they show symptoms that can only increase the spread. Or are we past the "let's try to contain this thing" phase and now just hoping everyone is vaxxed.

 

I’m assuming this thing is with us forever now.

I’m prepared for a BC and AC demarcation in my life.

 

How much do school board members get paid in Florida? They get $25 per meeting here.

 

I was around an unvaccinated caregiver who got it. Was tested a few days later as a matter of standard procedure for something else and nothing came up.

I would like to know if there's a way to detect if one has ever had it, but from what I have read and heard and been told that is not possible right now.

I've been to Florida unvaccinated, I've been on an infectious diseases floor in full gownage, been in some tight spots with this, so I don't have a fear of it for myself. Just for others.

 

For 2017/18, the last year I could find, school board members in my county made $35,000. A chart that listed all the counties range from the upper 20s to the mid 40s
