Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Six people in our office out with COVID. Out of about 55.

 

I had it twice and it was like a bad cold really. I actually felt worse the days after I got vaxed and boosted.

 

I caught it right after Christmas last year. Both my wife and I had very mild symptoms, like a bad cold. We're both in our 70s and fully vaxxed and will continue to do so.

 

I got it for the second time when I was in California in February. Symptoms were mild enough for me to not even realize I was infected on the cross-country flight home.

I’ve been having some mild breathing issues all summer, but I’m guessing it has more to do with the recent shitty East Coast air quality than any lingering COVID effects.

 

This new variant is raging here. Probably due to the return to school.

 

Trying to wait for the new version of the booster to roll out, but they seem to be taking their sweet time.

 

Cross-posted in politics thread.

 

All the guidance I see is to try to get it and your flu shot at the same time sometime in October.

 

If all of the approvals/authorizations come through without a hitch, the new booster will be out by the end of this month.

It also isn’t made with the strain that’s causing this huge uptick. It should still be cross-protective, but it’s less than ideal for no really good reason that I can see.
