We're All Going to Die

It’s going to be pretty warm for sure, but not as bad as DC that time of year.
The more stuff we can do outside the better.
 
Yep, it's an in-law trip. We're staying downtown.
Hoping to get to a game at Fenway as a reward for sitting through the family stuff.
If it looks like she's planning something with them that I can escape from, I'll let you two know.

My shots weren't too bad. Mostly overnight chills, fever, and very sleepy.
I'll probably wait till fall for the 4th.

They just told us at work that we're supposed to start wearing masks again. The infection rates in the area are climbing again.

A few people have recently gotten it.

All that, and we just booked a vacation in Boston this July.

Same deal at my work, the county we're located in just went high-risk for Covid cases. Had to make a Walgreens run to get more masks.
 
In Ontario, we are set to remove our last mask restrictions on June 11th -- public transit and hospitals/medical facilities. That may be extended at least partially (hospitals/medical) but not till after our provincial election which is tomorrow. My work has made masks recommended but not mandatory as of today whenever we get back to the office. Looking like July now.

When you go back to office work, will they make you go 5 days a week? Place I work has us with a permanent schedule of 2 days a week in office, 3 days home or optional office. But the 2 days are generally of our own choosing.

It will be 2 days in office -- the days of their choosing. It will either by Monday + Tuesday or Wednesday + Thursday. Nobody works in the office on Friday. I will be sharing the desk/docking station with the person working the other 2 days.

Looks good to me! A 25 minute walk from my (old) house =) That whole area of where 95 meets 1 is totally different than what it was in the mid 80s. I don't recognize it at all.

I used to work a few hours a week at the restaurant right in that area. It was called the Colonial (nickname, the Boloney-Hole). I was only 15. If asked, I had to say I was 16. There was a big golf course there too. I used to walk through the course at night to get home. Glad it was nice area. Look at me, rambling over dinner already...

Yeah, that whole MarketStreet outdoor shopping area is the way things are going now. It came to mind because it's right off 95 (I'd be coming down 95), and while it's north of Boston, it's close. And I figured you'd know where it is.
 
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is constantly mutating. There have been several variants including Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta (B.1.351), Delta (B.1.617.2) and Omicron (BA.1). There have been four subvariants of Omicron – BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.4 and BA.5 – each of which is more transmissible than the original Omicron virus. BA.4 and BA.5 now account for more than 52% of new cases of COVID in the United States.

'The worst version' of COVID is spreading. Can we update our vaccines in time? - AOL

Viruses evolve, and vaccines should too. That was the big-picture takeaway from a pivotal meeting this week of the FDA’s expert advisory panel. The question before them was simple: Ahead of an expected winter surge, should vaccine manufacturers tweak their forthcoming booster shots to target...

Its more transmissible now but a lot less deadly. Most people just get symptoms less than the common cold with the new Omacrons.
 
Yeah my parents finally got it recently - and they were fully vaccinated and boosted - and they said covid was miserable.
 
I know 3 people -- all vaxxed and boosted -- that got it and said it was less than a common cold. I do know one person who's family got it (all vaxxed except for 4 year old) and it hit them harder.
