We're All Going to Die

I have decided not to get my 2nd booster (4th dose) yet until they have the omacron version of the vaccine available.
 
It hits everyone differently.

I'm thinking I'll wait for the 4th shot till closer to fall. I'm guessing that once everyone starts hanging out inside more there will be a rise in infections.
 
I actually got the 4th shot last Friday. I had a Dr's appointment last Tuesday, and he was pushing for it. The last time I saw him, he wasn't super gung-ho about the boosters. He was more in favor of waiting it out. With the new variant, he was recommending sooner than later.

I got the shot Friday afternoon around 2:00. The last few shots would have me feeling the chills, tiredness, and fever coming on by 9:00 pm or so. By mid day or evening the next day, I'd start feeling better. Nothing too rough at all.

This time I didn't have any side effects Friday night through Saturday afternoon. I was supposed to go out to dinner with friends. About 5:00 pm or so, I realized I felt a little off and found out I had a fever of 99.5. By 11:30 the fever was gone and I felt fine. It was about the best side effect experience you could hope for.
 
I am still waiting. I have purely anecdotal data of people I know who have had the booster and still got covid to give me thought that the booster doesn't help much. Going to wait for Omacron ready booster.
 
Ted Nugent is anti-mask and anti-vax. Hey, Ted, maybe you'll get COVID. I hear it's much worse than "cat scratch fever."

That doesn't really square with this

 
Hey, Ted, your ignorance is showing! He asks, "Why weren’t we shut down for COVID one through 18?" Because they never existed. Doy! The number in COVID-19 refers to the year 2019.
 
Monkeypox is a zoonosis, a viral infection that can be transmitted from animals to humans. There are more than 16,500 cases reported in 74 countries. Today the World Health Organization declared the global monkeypox outbreak to be "a public health emergency of international concern." Monkeypox joins two other "public health emergencies," polio and COVID. Speaking of which.......

 
Around the office, I've learned to keep my distance from anyone wearing a mask. Because those are the people who either had Covid last week, or they were in close range with someone who did.

No one else wears them anymore.
I'll still wear them in any doctor's office because I want to stay clear of germs.

Around my office, when the county infection rate is low enough, masks are not required for vaccinated employees. So most of the ones wearing masks are unvaxxed.
 
For you God-fearing peeps, are we in the 'Last Days'...?

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
[Matthew 24:7]
 
It ain't quite over yet.
A friend of mine just spent a week and a half in the hospital with it.
I had a Zoom meeting with him the other day, and he had an oxygen tube in his nose.
Hopefully we're just about to the point where we can live with it, and not many people end up in the hospital from it.
