My workplace has fired about 5 people in the past year for calling out too much, as they were dealing with new chronic health problems.

It's just the seasonal summer flu, trust me bro

covids over, jack. Listen.... Uhhh... Anyway..COVIDs over and all the families sitting on their kitchen table have shown their gratitude for this abomination uhh administration and our speedy and historic recovery.

Yup. I live in Florida and was reading through waiting for it, and there it was!

Wastwater has shown covid to be pretty low since winter, but it also is always detected, so it's always around to some degree. But we've also been getting hit by record waves of flu and RSV since winter. I'm sure the regular common cold hasn't gone away, either.

Oughta do it.

With brainworm in charge it's a bit up in the air. Right now they are approved for 65+ or people with a health condition and not recommended to anyone else, so it's up to you to pay self attest that you have a condition and/or pay out of pocket if you don't have insurance or your insuance doesn't want to cover it. Some places are just doing what they've always done and give them to anyone who wants one, some places are being strict about it. It's a fucking mess. Other countries have been restricting access to the vaccines as well, and RFKjr is citing them as an example for why the US should restrict them as well. All of this might change on a whim.

Yes, if you got one in the fall you probably won't have antibodies to fight an infection off immediatly, but will have t and b immune cells that should eventually recognize an infection and fight it off. The problem is covid has ways to evade the immune system and damages everything in your body it interacts with when it gets into the bloodstream until your body starts fighting back, and t-cells themselves work by destroying infected cells, which means some level of damage throughout your body. Hopefully it's insignificant, but there's large communities of people who haven't been so lucky and are just kind of fucked. Last time I heard the odds of some kind of long term health problem being aquired was about 3.5% odds, or basically the odds of rolling snake eyes on a pair of dice, every infection. The odds may have gotten better, but I don't think anyone's really keeping track anymore, and most people aren't testing for covid.
