OT XXX: COVID Off Topic

[Melon]

Ad DesertBreh said, it's really been not a massive shift, but I do feel for those with kiddos.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

I don't want to pass it on to someone who may not survive, but I'm not going to live my life in a bubble forever because some people in my life are anti-vaxxers. My MIL is 66 and diabetic, for example, both of which put her at high risk, but she's been eligible to get the vaccine for months now and won't get it. I'm refuse to remove myself from society forever to keep her from possibly catching covid from us. The chances of us passing on an infection now both having had it and being fully vaccinated are extremely low, and that's just going to have to be good enough.

I'm going back to playing hockey, I'm going back to the gym, fuck it.

I totally get about helping/saving people who don't give a shit about helping/saving themselves.

And that's the stage we're at now. People who care and don't want the virus got the vaccine or are in the process. There's zero excuse now, other than

The rest should be left to whatever, but I'm done dealing with this to "save" people that clearly don't care about being "saved".

It sucks, but is awesome in it's own weird way. Plus at our age, we're not exactly high risk for death or irreparable damage. Besides, if we are worried, we can get vaccinated.

The hardest part really is the homeschooling while working full-time fucking jobs. Mine is high demand with good pay, and I really can't keep LARGE clients waiting for quick and high quality responses to their emergencies. I would love to see my boys grow up and do well in school, for that I need to be present.

This is what I was referring to. I actually got perfect timing on this as the last half of the last half senior year in hs was throwaway as all college apps already made. Our public school district floundered terribly in dealing with this. I would have strongly considered switching to private school had this been during an earlier year.

Yeah, that's called the last quarter, Dirk.

My daughter got screwed out of the last half of her Senior year in HS, graduation, the social bliss of the summer between HS and College.

Her college freshman year was irrevocably marred , though it was infinitely better than having to stay home with us.

She was supposed to be going to France this summer as part of a scholarship she won but that trip got cancelled. I pray it will be rescheduled.

On the plus side, none of our loved ones was hospitalized or died of COVID.

That bites. My daughter would have been happy to go to college after her junior year, so NFG about graduation and social bliss. Thankfully she was quite philosophical about an online first year in college.
Not much to be done, every single UC/Cal State student had to do the same thing. Getting a trip abroad nixed would have put a fair amount of pee in the Cheerios

The first two years of college are glorified high school with the core classes. If you miss any years of in-person, those are probably the best ones

Totally fine by the third day. 2, including Haley, with fatigue, nausea, headache, muscle and full body aches/fever that night into the next day. Fine by the day after that.
1 (bossbro) VERY BAD. Got it Monday morning, didn't come back to work. Came in Tuesday but left early feeling very fatigued, achy, etc. Stayed home yesterday and today so far.
1 needed 1 day off feeling fatigued and some soreness. Came back to work second day mostly fine.

One-and-done J&J:

She attends a really small school in a rural county with low Covid numbers (Juniata) so they held in person classes. She was was going at home with us. She was fortunately to fall in with a tight knit group of friends right away and thus she has flourished. Her cousin who "attends" PITT-Johnstown did so from Home her entire sophomore year.... but she was actually happier that way.

Hopefully the France trip will be rescheduled and she is also slated to spend a year (Prob Junior year) attending classes over there. She did take 4 years of French and has no great love for our government so she may very well expatriate...

[ChrisoftheNorth]

Detroit, let us know how you're feeling tomorrow morning.

Welp, it's been 21 hours since the jab, and it's been shockingly NBD. The injection site pain is way less than it was with the first shot (barely there), and I've felt no other side effects other than being tired. We both crashed around 10pm last night and couldn't really wake up before 8:30...just exhausted overall.

I'm feeling almost perfect right now, other than the dull pain in my shoulder. If this is it, then

Maybe more is on the way? We'll see...

I wish I had worked harder on getting to Europe, now it's too late.

Nah, at this point I'm pretty sure that's going to be it for you. That's great! Your experience basically mirrors mine. Arm soreness, some fatigue, plus I also had a tiny amount of random muscle cramps. It was a totally experience.

Yep, minor fatigue (I'm not doing push ups today like I normally do) and some super minor random muscle cramps, and I'm tired. Overall super easy and it hasn't really changed.

The grass is always greener. Happy for her passion for France. Let’s see if that translates if she does move there long term. They have more tumultuous politics than we do. We just don’t see much of it until their cities are burning just like ours

[razr390]

@wap;

My lady’s side effects went away. She basically had chills overnight after the shot, mild nausea in the morning, major headache and body soreness/aches.

Everything except the soreness in the receiving arm is gone.

Getting mine in 4.5 hours and hope for a similar experience.

Not so fast...

Coming up on 24 hours and the fatigue is increasing and I'm chilled and cannot get warm. I feel like I just ran a marathon. Have some meetings to get out of the way then nap time. Hopefully it doesn't get worse.

So weird.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

And a headache is starting...
