Coronavirus & Lime

I coughed in the face of an old woman today.

Your death rate is slowing down. Gotta catch up!

I thought about protesting City Hall, defense-rifle in hands, against Confinement but I remembered I’m in Europe and we don’t get guns or school shootings. Boy, do I miss those Thoughts & Prayers.

Oh, you're missing all the fun!

So... I think I finally had the 'rona, but I never tested positive. In fact, I tested negative four times in two weeks. (Five if you count the antigen test I took, which I don't.) I had mild cold symptoms that pre-March 2020 wouldn't have even kept me home. Sore throat on day one then sinus-y stuff that cleared up completely in a little over a week. No cough. No fever. No anything else.

The missus tested positive after she got the same exact symptoms. Again, she was better in a little over a week.

Unvaxxed idiots seems to still be having a hard time with it. Thoughts and prayers, I guess.

Almost everyone we know has it now. We're still convinced we got it way back at the beginning, but we've been super clear since then. In fact, the last two years have been the healthiest of my life! We load up on elderberry, multivitamins, and other shit. And we're super paranoid about new people, hand shaking, etc. It's very much been about our pod and nobody else since March 2020.

Me too! I was a little sad when I got sick in Hawaii. It was a good run of no colds for almost two years.

So -- proof positive that people are fucking disgusting and we should stick to our tightly controlled pod from now on!

You're not wrong.

Broke out of my self-imposed quarantine and hit the local brewery this week.

Around here, it's as if the pandemic never happened. Still some folks wearing masks in places like the grocery store, but there's more maskless than not. And WV still has enough hospitalizations to put a strain on the system.

Great piece in the Post this AM about the needed investment in disease tracking infrastructure. It's big brother-y for sure, but in my increasing old-man-ness, I'd rather be under constant surveillance if I can live out the apocalypse in relative peace.

"Sir, Subject 345-89B is masturbating again. Should we send shock treatment to his chip?"

"As long he's alone, it's fine. Just log it, ensign."

[nacho]

We're fully maskless back here. Hospitalizations are down because we're True Blue and everyone's been jabbed and those who haven't were disappeared in the night.

I've kept (generally) to the mask rules, though. And still avoid crowded areas. I'm really sad that things are getting back to normal. I mean, just when it was getting interesting, you know?

[Nubbins]

Yep, it's been maskless here for a while, but I've only recently quit wearing mine into stores and stuff. I'm slowly but surely building a life around myself where we don't need to leave our home for an extended period of time... maybe a month or two at this point.

I do find myself kinda looking wistfully back at two years ago... how little we had to do all day, etc. But then I remember how fucking terrifying it all was and I'm glad that we're where we are, even if Georgia is backwards as fuck, for the most part.
