Part of me wishes Biden was an asshole who would tell him to piss off.

 

The absence of shame or self awareness is difficult to avoid noticing, like an abscess, of character, pulsing to be lanced.

    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

All these fucking socialists, man.

Irony is dead, dismembered, and run through a wood chipper.

The absolute shameless hypocrisy of the GQP is infinite.

Or maybe recall the Texas Guard (And other states) from the border and get them to help out at home.

This is where I am.  There is a free, readily available, safe and effective (at preventing hospitalization and death at the very least) vaccine.  If you are too stupid to get it, fuck you.

I went in to get my booster last week and got a flu shot as well. I get really sick when I get the flu and have wound up in the hospital twice because of it.

At this point either get your vaccine or just completely withdraw from society until you do. I have empathy for people, but when you are actively harming those around you and possibly messing with their health you should not be around the rest of us.

I was going to insult you for insinuating that completely contradictory tweets actually matter for GOP members, but now I see the joke. Bravo, sir.

He shouldn’t do that but he should absolutely tie any emergency aid to the state dropping any Covid related litigation  and immediately enact state vaccine mandates

Couple days in to I assume Omicron, only symptom is a random extreme throat irritation that causes a coughing episode for a minute or two.  I get a little phlegm, and the coughing ameliorates the irritation. Happens every few hours and hell if I can associate it with anything like physical exertion or anything else.

Don’t have baseline throat scratchiness anymore and no other issues.  Weirdest fucking thing.

Daughter (no pics) tested positive on December 27, and again yesterday. Her only real symptom has been fatigue.

I was around her a ton on Christmas, including a few car rides, so I'm pretty amazed I didn't get it (Moderna x3). 

So I tested negative with at home tests on Sunday but my wife and I have both been feeling weak and puny, with some puking early in the week, and just low grade fever and chills/sweating otherwise.

We still haven't been able to find a COVID test, but from what y'all are saying we may have omicron (J&J in April, Pfizer booster in early Nov). Weird. Either way we're finally both feeling well enough now to finally eat real food again and cook the filet mignon we picked up for NYE.

We saw a 25ish folks from my wife's side of the family right before Christmas who are about 30% unvaxxed for qanon reasons, and my immediate family on boxing day (5 fully vaxed adults, 2 <5yo kids), but have been pretty cautious aside from that. Maybe if you're vaccinated, omicron is just mild enough to be mistaken for allergies during cedar season? Lol

Yeah there’s a Venn diagram between Covid symptoms and cedar allergies.

Glad it’s really mild for you so far.  Kick its ass.

There’s also adenovirus and a couple of nasty GI bugs going around right now

Can we still get sick due to other things

Everything is Covid. There are no other sicknesses.

I just tested positive on a home antigen test.  Congested and a little achy but not bad.  Just felt enough off to take a test.  
 

Moderna X3.  Booster  was in November.

I'll take the bet that you'll sail through. Hope you and all others that stepped up responsibly overcome quickly.

Yep, wife and I are in the same boat. Vaxxed and boostered, but both feel like crap right now and both tested positive on home tests.
Speaking of tests, does anyone know where to get a real one in the Austin area? I'm supposed to go back to school Monday. but that's not happening. My district will give me paid time off to quarantine, but I have to show a positive result on a non-home test and right now the earliest appointment I can find is Wednesday.

Don't know if this is helpful, but I've seen a mobile unit in the parking lot of the old Wells Fargo at Mesa & Spicewood Springs (Anderson) several times this past week.  I don't know if it's appointment only, but it was surely covid testing.  Either that or drive-thru vasectomies.

Omicron should be peaking in the next couple of weeks and by the end of Feb will be an afterthought. Hopefully by the next variant we'll not even need to quarantine

My school nurse was doing testing. I had to get swabbed a couple times this year and last. May want to check with your school nurse on the work days before the kids come back.

I'm rolling the dice and keeping a vacation to a resort in Cancun on the books for mid January... Definitely bought the travel insurance, but I'll be goddamned if I miss four days of live music on a beach lol

Who's playing?

It's Playing in the Sand - Dead and Co for Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday night, and Margo Price, The Main Squeeze, and Celisse for Friday night.

The concert stage is on the beach and there's food and booze and water stands everywhere and it's all covered in the concert/resort ticket. Plus night shows every night etc etc.

They require vaccination plus a negative test within 48hrs to go to the show, so I'm pretty comfortable going for it. And the worst case if I test positive is I'm stuck at the resort for a few more days till I get a negative test to fly home

Have fun. We landed in CUN the first day it opened last year and went back this summer. Had a blast both times.

If you see Ted, please tell him to stay off Twitter. For him to go radio silent for the month of January would be a vacation for all of us.

Has anyone driven up south Lamar recently? There is a free test place setup on the corner of bluebonnet. The traffic waiting was backed up about a mile 2 days ago.

My father thinks if he catches Omicron is will "only be a cold." He had one J&J shot last May.

As a fellow J&Jer, might I remind him that j&j has been proven almost useless in the long run.

He's 75, obese, and a big Trumper/Fox News watcher. It took me months to convince him that Covid isn't a hoax. I think he only got the J&J vaccine to shut me up. I don't know if there's anything more I can say. 

I simply don't understand taking an unnecessary risk due to pride.

He's probably right.  If you lump him into the 75-85 group current hospitalizations are at like 4/10,000.
