COVID-19

Delta, maybe? Does not sound like Omicron especially since you are vaxxed and boosted.

That’s how it went down with my wife too. Omicron is here but strangely it doesn’t seem to be taking over quickly. The government people told her it’s most likely not Omicron and I most likely didn’t have it before her because it would have showed up in my PCR tests. So we have no way of knowing where she got it even though she works from home.

My pathologist friend says that omicron is the dominant strain east of the Mississippi and in the three pacific states on the west coast but that Delta is by far most dominant elsewhere.

I had a heavy cold immediately after arriving back from London. This was right after Thanksgiving, so before omicron was anything but a footnote on the news. I wasn’t going to fuss with getting tested unless it turned into a cough/chest issue, which it never did. I now wonder if it was omicron.

Sorry to hear this, Mark. Hope your symptoms stay mild, and you’re over it soon. As your dad said, I know you are responsible, thoughtful, and an overall good citizen (you were raised right). Get well soon!

Well my elderly aunt did not survive her second bout of covid.

I don’t know many details (i.e. when she was previously infected, vaccination status etc) but she had several serious chronic problems and was in a assisted living/ nursing home type facility.

Her kids/my cousins were all able to see her. Sounds like they were dealing ok.

This weird unvaxxed pair died just days apart.

Florida’s governor and apparent medical genius says there has never been another circumstance where we test healthy people for a disease, so I guess any of his mistresses now know he doesn’t screen.

That will make for a long, hard recovery. Hope they have the will to walk the straight and narrow.

Don’t worry, if it’s got a banana in it, there’s a pill for that too.

“Vaccines don’t work!” Meanwhile, in New York…

I’d be pretty suspicious if someone gave me viagra while I was in a coma. Was the guy in Hustler Hospital or something?
