Discussion: My second date with Rona. Didn't go as good as the first one.

I have 2 vaccine shots + 2 boosters. First booster was in September. I got Covid in December... no symptoms but tested positive.

2nd booster was in March. I got Covid probably this weekend. Tested positive. Symptoms mild but still present. I thought I would be ok because I had two boosters. 

I probably got the virus on a SEPTA train ride to Philadelphia. The thing is, the train car was mostly empty except for the 10 of us in the group, going to the city. We sat away from each other on the train. Five of us tested positive. 

So... my suggestions. Resume outdoor dining in restaurants or takeout. Avoid large indoor gatherings....parties, meetings, church, concerts and whatever I didn't think of.  

My symptoms are not severe... slight headache from time to time, muscle aches, coughing. But still.

A new wave is spreading and we can expect new variations to pop up. 

Be careful.

I have no idea what your point is here.

Sounds a bit desperate.

I think he's saying that if we were against the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq (which most liberals here were) that we should also be against the invasion of Ukraine (which they are).

Discussion: The end of Roe. (no more question mark)

I got a good laugh this morning reading the New York Times.  Ginny Thomas' husband was whining about protesters outside her house.

Snivel Snivel, Whine Whine

Apparently, he doesn't like having his right to privacy violated. If the History tab on my browser looked like his, I probably wouldn't either.

Putin is doing an excellent job of making the Azov fascists seem like a disproportionately strong and numerous force in Ukraine and so worthy of launching an all-out war on a sovereign neighbor.  So is Paul.

"Ukrainian Nazis" are the "WMDs" of Putin's wholly unjustified and brutal invasion.

Sorry to hear. Train air circulation may be problematic. I would consider paxlovid treatment. Good luck with it.

Discussion: Advice for helping someone with Covid??

Third, with potential side effects, rebounds, and interactions, plus ignorance and newness, some doctors might just feel it is too new, and too much of a hassle to recommend when most people do fine without it.  

Except that "most people" means 70-90% will do just fine and not be left with debilitating illness if they do survive.

Interesting story on the Adrien interview here:

https://www.stopfake.org/fr/comment-le-francais-adrien-bocquet-blanchit-les-crimes-russes-a-boutcha/ 

If Ms. Nan were posting a response, you would find out that you can't trust that source, because reason

I don't see anything in the article that refutes what Adrien said. Do you? If so, what?

Have I ever mentioned how nobody should ever trust your summaries of anything? That definitely applies here.
